Which is always remarkable to me that when we're talking about um the the question of does the Kickstarter audience and the comic shop's audience do they overlap?

Are they a single, you know, a single unit?

And my answer to that is always th you know, a a a successful

Kickstarter campaign is three to five, in your case, seven hundred and fifty, right?

Seven hundred and fifty people backing it.

That's an incredibly successful campaign for you.

uh uh seven hundred and fifty copies into comic shops that are sold, that's not a successful campaign.

That's these are two different audiences.

Um obviously they have different distinctions and different value props and vent different m you know, when you're looking at it as a um a publisher, different uh profitability margins, obviously.

But um but yeah, they're obviously different different audiences without e

just from a surface level.

So yeah, I I I do find that really intriguing.

Talk uh how many people overall you have you brought in?

Like when you take out that third that follows you everywhere, uh how many different backers have you worked with so far?

Yeah.

That's that's incredible.

Awesome.

Well it's those are solid numbers.

We we talked to a lot of uh a lot of small publishers who we are who aren't ready for um for I think are not ready for the direct market, primarily because they haven't built that audience yet.
