Issue 1 is finally arriving.

Yesterday we shipped over 100 copies of Tae Kwon Donkey: The Reign of Crab Maga 1 into the world.

Some readers haven’t even opened their books yet.

And already…

The Storm is coming.

Issue 2 launches July 1st on Kickstarter.

The Calm was about tension.
The Storm is about consequence.

Prophecy collides with reality.
Alliances are tested.
Beliefs are challenged.
And not everyone survives the weather.

This universe was always meant to be deep.
It was always meant to keep moving.
And we’re not slowing down.

If you haven’t already, follow the pre-launch page in our bio, or with the link below and be notified the moment the campaign goes live.

Wake the Donkey.
Kickstart the Mule Kick.

Tae Kwon Donkey Issue 1 is no longer a Kickstarter campaign. It’s real and It’s officially in the mail..

Today we bagged, boarded, packed, signed, and shipped the majority of our Kickstarter orders. The remaining USPS and international packages are already packed, paid for, and will be heading out tomorrow morning.

If you’re one of the few backers who hasn’t completed your survey yet, please do so as soon as possible so we can get your copy on its way as well.

Every comic was handled with care and sent with love. One copy at a time.

I’ll be honest…it was a lot of work fulfilling all of these orders personally. But every package reminded me that there are real people out there who believed in this project enough to support it.

What makes it even more incredible is how far Tae Kwon Donkey has already reached. Backers came from across the United States, as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and Indonesia.

It’s surreal to think about where this all started… and even more exciting to imagine where it’s going.

Thank you to everyone who believed in Tae Kwon Donkey, backed the campaign, shared the project, and helped bring Issue 1 to life.

Now the comics are leaving our hands and making their way into yours.

And the best part?

Issue 2: The Storm is already on the horizon.

“It’ll make you question whose side you’re on.”

“The surprising thing about Tae Kwon Donkey is just how grim its animal uprising lore is.”

“It can cause a bit of tonal whiplash in its darker moments. Arguably though, that makes them hit much harder.”

Another reviewer that truly understood “Tonal Whiplash” that is The Tae Kwon Donkey Universe.

Philosophy. Absurdity. Consequence.

Huge thanks to Jason and Midlife Gamer Geek for the thoughtful review of Tae Kwon Donkey Issue 1.

We could not have done this without our supporters.

Issue 1 of Tae Kwon Donkey is officially heading to physical print TODAY because of all of you.

And people have already started speaking up about the digital release.

Comic Crusaders called Issue 1:
“A wild martial arts animal adventure that blends Saturday morning cartoon energy, underground indie chaos, emotional trauma, and straight-up absurdist comedy into one big hoof-powered haymaker of a debut.”

Readers have also been saying things like:

“Such a dope 1st issue! ...the raw turn it took created instant sympathy and depth that left me wanting to keep reading immediately.”
— Josh A.

“Damn!!! Master piece bro!!!”
— Henry P.

This has been an absolutely wild ride getting to this point.

To everyone who backed, shared, commented, followed, encouraged us, or believed in this weird martial arts universe from day one:

Thank you.

Issue 2 is already well underway...and we genuinely cannot wait for everyone to receive their physical copies of Issue 1.

If you’ve already read the digital issue let us know your thoughts below!

I’ll also tag backers who opted in in the comments below!
