Happy Final Space Friday, We’re deep in book tour planning right now while we wait for the graphic novels to land in Virginia. But I NEED YOUR HELP. TAG your favorite bookstores on this post. Seriously let’s flood this thing. We’re going to reach out and see who’s open to hosting a graphic novel signing. Normally a publisher handles all of this but as you know it's just me and @gungnirbooks has been a huge help on that front. Right now it’s shaping up to be a June tour. First stop is locked: The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles. We’re also working out ticketing. If it’s a bookstore event, tickets will be free and most likely hosted through finalspaceends.com. I may also tap into some comedy club venues I have access to do live shows + signing combo. Make it an experience. So yeah, tag your favorite bookstore. Let’s send this off with a bang! -Olan PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

Happy Final Space Friday! This week has been all about the logistics of getting these books into your hands. I had a big meeting with the Virginia distribution team where we walked through everything…how to transfer our data into their system, packaging options, shipping timelines, confirmation processes… the list goes on. The great news? These guys are pros. Nothing phased them. By the end of that call, soooo much stress lifted off my shoulders. There’s still plenty on my plate, but it was such a relief to have a team this experienced, and genuinely excited to help, in our corner. On top of that, Matthew at @gungnirbooks has been making moves…he connected with a major comic book chain on the East Coast that’s going to carry the novel and even host some signings for the book tour. I can feel the excitement starting to creep in to me. Honestly, that hasn’t been easy. From day one, this project has mostly been stress…. But with Final Space, it’s never been a smooth ride…it never has been. What’s always carried me through is the gratitude I feel getting to tell this story… and getting to share it with all of you. I’m not kidding when I say there were days where the only fuel I had left was reading your excitement. So truly, thank you for hanging in there with me! There’s still more to figure out, but now we’re in a waiting phase as the books make their way to distribution in Virginia. -Olan PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

Happy Final Space Saturday! I was waiting on some news to come in but it didn't come in yet. All good! I have some updates on Book Tour, Translations and Midnight Edition Packing progress. Lots more soon! -Olan PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

Tomorrow got some things to update everyone on.

I hate to inform people but, it's been 5 years since FS Season 3 came out!

Final Space officially premiered on TBS eight years ago today. An incredible series that was so unfairly treated, but left a huge impact on those who watched it. So grateful to @OlanRogers for bringing this show to life! The series ends with the graphic novel this spring!

Happy 8th Anniversary to Final Space!!

Happy Final Space Friday! I’m currently very sick 🤒I think it's from the air quality of the warehouse so I just ordered air scrubbers and fans to get some air moving in there. The dehumidifier is rocking, that is helps keeping any moisture off the novels. BUT before I went down, I started photographing the novels and for the first time ever, I realized…I actually have a novel I can photograph. That was a surreal moment. Still have a bunch more to capture, but I’ll post a few soon. The goal is to really show off how hard @daztibbles went on this art. The colors pop. It’s vibrant. It feels like Final Space. I read through the color version last night while doing another round of soundtrack testing, and it just keeps getting better. We're getting the length in a good spot, we made the tracks extra long so they bleed into the next QR code. When it lines up perfectly? It’s SO cool. Seriously. It hits. We just had a soundtrack meeting to tweak a few sounds to really punch the emotion in some key scenes. It’s those little adjustments that make a big difference. Logistics-wise: the novels ship from the printer at the top of March. They are stickering and we had to move the sticker to the back inside cover, I'll explain why in a video later. It’ll take about 4½ weeks to reach the distribution warehouse, and then they’ll start packing and shipping them out to all of you. I don’t have an exact date yet, but it’s looking very much like Spring. I’ll know more once they land at the warehouse. Right now I’m deep in marketing mode. I’m also unpacking and stickering the Midnight Editions here in Nashville at extra late hours in the night so they’re ready to go when the colors arrive. I’m also working on a dust jacket idea for damaged novels. Haven't decided anything yet. Once I see how that turns out, I’ll add a “Battle Worn” edition to the store at a discounted price. It’ll range from Level 1 damage to Level 3 (the roughest shape, biggest discount). There's not a lot of them but I just don't know what to do with them. I’ll focus more on that once everything else is under control. Alright, that’s it for now. Back to it. -Olan PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

Final Space Ends. I’m so fricken proud of what we’ve done with this graphic novel. Super excited for you all to finally have it (very very soon) It’s not too late to grab a copy👇

Well I'm not ready to say goodbye! They will live forever in my heart! HA! Now if you excuse me I need to cry now 😭😭😭

THIS SPRING. IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

HAPPY FINAL SPACE FRIDAY! BIG UPDATE! IT'S HERE! 😱A BOUND COLOR EDITION! And address updating info! Deadline to do so is February 20th -Olan PRE-ORDER: finalspaceends.com

MIDNIGHT EDITIONS ARE OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT. I’m working through inventory now and, to be safe, I’m moving the final 100 copies into the rest of my protected count while we see how many need to be damaged out. The dehumidifier’s running, the workspace is dialed in… it’s getting real. I can’t thank you all enough for taking the leap on this project. And the patience. Thank you for being patient and I figure out all of this on the fly. The Midnight Edition was our trial-by-fire run, it helped me real dial in the color edition. Good news: there are still copies available of the COLOR EDITION. Tomorrow’s update will cover how to update your shipping info so everything gets where it needs to go smoothly. – Olan
