Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

Just two weeks removed from our record-setting campaign, we’re delighted to bestow upon thee a very special sneak peek at some of the very first lettered interior preview pages for CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE from the incomparable Troy Little with colors by the exalted Nick Filardi.

Steel thy senses … for great pleasures await:

Such glorious sights indeed!

Also, we also wanted to offer a quick thank you to everyone who has reached out about providing shipping information for their rewards. We understand that many of our devoted flock may be new to Kickstarter, so we just wanted to let you know that all of your shipping information will be collected in a survey sent by our third party fulfillment partner BackerKit later on this year!

With fulfillment planned for December 2024, surveys will likely go out to backers in October or November, and we will send out multiple updates like this one just to make sure everybody receives their survey. That way, we have all the most up-to-date shipping information to make sure your bounty of riches arrives safe and sound, as the Lamb intended.

So fear not, we shall be collecting all your information in due time!

Until then, stay tuned for more unfathomable delights as we continue to reveal more sneak peeks at the splendor yet to come!

Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb,

Can you feel it?

The sun upon your face and the soothing scents in the air?

For that is the glory of the Lamb shining upon you, in celebration of a truly incredible campaign that has come to its inevitable conclusion.

Thanks to you, the Lamb’s devoted acolytes, you have raised a truly astronomical sum in service of The One Who Waits – making this one of the top-grossing comics Kickstarter campaigns of all time!

To each and every one of our 9,439 backers – THANK YOU for your incredible passion and support! We’re excited to share more of CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE with you in the weeks and months ahead as we bring this book to life (and will be previewing the behind-the-scenes work in progress with you right here with future updates, too).

In the unfortunate event that you possibly missed out – FEAR NOT, FOR IT IS NOT TOO LATE! We’ll have a limited selection of campaign items available here at our post-campaign store:

https://cult-of-the-lamb.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

(Please note: Items purchased through the post-campaign online store are not eligible for all of the original campaign’s Stretch Goals rewards, but we will be making some of those items available soon, too.)

Thank you again for a truly humbling and rewarding campaign – glory to those who heed the call of our flock!

Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni
 

UPDATE! 🌶️ THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED! (AND WE’RE LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!) $666K UNLOCKED!🌶️
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Apr 11, 2024 at 05:11:44 PM

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

OH NO???? OH YES!!!! For it is confirmed… This flock is laden with ABSOLUTELY FILTHY SICKOS!!!

Through your diabolical actions and obvious proclivity for impure thoughts, this once-chaste campaign has just released forth the last FORBIDDEN STRETCH GOAL in an unholy torrent of desire. Steady thyselves — for the final $666,666 stretch goal has been unlocked!

So what happens now?

We’re going to be adding something spicy … but secret … to the campaign rewards and every single physical and digital backer of this campaign is going to get a taste. YUM.

YES, we know what the secret addition is going to be.

NO, we’re not going to show it to you yet.

Remember: Delayed gratification makes the heart grow fonder … and we’re saving ourselves for campaign fulfillment, baby.

But, in the meantime, we know that many of our most ardent backers need something to keep their impure urges at bay … So here is a sneak peek of our CULT OF THE LAMB #1 SECRET EDITION VARIANT cover (coming soon to backers at the $500 tier and up!) by the salacious and sensational Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf):

Now, THOSE are some “lamb chops,” amiright? (The final cover will be in color, too!)

As we head into our final hours for the campaign, one very important note: THANK YOU for your massive support, your endless enthusiasm, and even your depraved thoughts, too — this is a truly record-setting campaign that has exceeded ALL expectations, and it’s all thanks to you, our fellow followers. It’s an honor to be working on this series and we can’t wait to share CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE with you all!

Keep spreading the word until the clock strikes 12 midnight ET and our campaign officially closes! We will report back here tomorrow once the final pledges have been pledged (and our sultriest of thoughts repressed for yet another day).

Just remember: YOU DID THIS, YOU MANIACS!

Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni
 

UPDATE! 👁️👁️ OUR FINAL 24 HOURS DRAW NEAR … THE END IS NIGH! 👁️👁️
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 10, 2024 at 12:32:11 PM

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

The end beckons! Aye, we have reached the final stages of the Lamb’s plan for complete and total Kickstarter domination! On behalf of the entire Oni team, a sincere thanks to every member of the Lamb’s devoted flock – your devotion and support have driven this campaign far beyond any expectations we could have dreamed.

But there is still time, fellow acolyte ... Our final 24 hours now draw near, and all pre-order pledges must be received by 12:59 PM ET tomorrow for our final Forbidden Stretch Goal to be unleashed!

Rejoice, for faith in the Lamb shall lead to victory!

As further proof of our devotion, we’re elated to reveal more evidence of the Lamb’s many wonders … Behold: yet another all-new art piece by the exalted Carles Dalmau (that shall be included as the fourth of the five 11x17” art prints in the CARLES DALMAU CARDSTOCK PRINT SET tier)!

Look for further signs and wonders as we approach our final day! We have such exalted sights left to show you…

Praise the Lamb, 
Team Oni
