Hey CyberBackers!
We're here with our monthly update to keep you in the loop about the progress of ENHANCED Vol. 2. We've got some exciting news for you:
VOL.1 DIGITAL CONTENTS ARE OUT!
You may have already received an email notification from Backerkit earlier today. If not, check your inboxes or your Backerkit page directly. All backers who pledged for Vol. 1 during this campaign can now download a .zip folder that includes ENHANCED Vol. 1 in high resolution, plus the short spin-off "...And Justice 4 All!" Enjoy the first chapter of our saga and the awesome Andrea's spin-off!
If you didn’t receive the Backerkit email or had any trouble accessing the files, just let us know at [email protected] or send us a PM here. We’ll help you as best as we can.
HANDMADE SKETCH SURVEYS ARE COMING!
For those of you who added Stefano's signed sketch to your pledge (great choice!), you’ll receive a Backerkit survey in the next few days. This survey will allow you to choose your favorite character from the available options (we’ve added some new entries). Stefano is excited to draw and sign a masterpiece for your art collection!
If you have any trouble or questions about the process, feel free to email us at [email protected] -- we’re happy to help!
ANDREA'S HARD ENAMEL PINS IS FINALLY HERE...
...and it looks fantastic! Produced by “The Enamel Pin Factory,” a top company based in the UK, it completely met our expectations. We spared no expense to produce a collectible pin that doesn’t look “cheap” but is an item that every pin enthusiast would desire. And so it is! Check out this video!
Did you missed Andrea’s hard enamel pin during the campaign and want to add to your collection? Absolutely, but act fast, because we have only 5 left (115 out of 120 are already booked).!

HEY CYBERBACKERS, WELCOME TO OUR MONTHLY UPDATE ON ENHANCED!
First, let's kick things off with some stunning new ink panels from the talented Stefano Di Pietro.
Vol.2 will kick off with some adrenaline-pumping action! (from Vol.2 Chapter 1 - Colors are on their way)
It seems like Andrea made Heather angry. (from Vol.2 Chapter 6 - Colors are on their way)
Something is happening at the Church of the True Man HQ. (from Vol.2 Chapter 5 - Colors are on their way)
Despite the graphic quality of Volume 1 receiving nothing but praise, we are working tirelessly to raise the bar even higher. Thanks to your constant support, we are motivated to give our best every day!
HEADS UP - CHARGING CREDIT CARDS FOR SHIPPING FEES AND BACKERKIT ORDERS
Just a quick heads-up: we're scheduled to process charges for any add-on items you've purchased or additional funds owed through BackerKit on May 6, 2024. This charge will be reflected on your bank statement as Descriptor ENHANCED STRIPE. Please ensure that your card information is up to date.
In the event of any payment issues, you'll receive an email prompting you to update your payment information. Occasionally, backers may overlook projects they've supported, so if this charge catches you off guard, please reach out to us at [email protected] before contacting your bank.
Please note that initiating a claim with your bank may result in delays in shipping your rewards. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
If you need to review payment information, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://enhanced-a-cyberpunk-graphic-novel-vol2.backerkit.com
ENHANCED VOL.1 (DIGITAL) IS ON YOUR WAY!

ART COLLECTOR'S!!! FINE ART ORIGINAL PAGES AVAILABLE (LIMITED)
ENHANCED Volume 2 will be much longer than the previous one, which also means there are (few) more original pages available. In fact, even though all the pages from Volume 1 have been sold out, you still have the exclusive opportunity to reserve a Fine Art print page from ENHANCED Volume 2. Each page is adorned with the author's signature and comes with a digital certificate. We'll be in touch with you to ask you to select your favorite page from those available!
Remember, only one copy is available for each page, ensuring that each page becomes an exclusive masterpiece, uniquely yours!

Cyber-Update: Your Extra FREE Issue Is Hot Off the Press! (Plus, Insider Scoops & Cyberpunk Delights Await!)

– Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 09:26:34 AM
Hello Cyber-Backers,
A lightning-fast update to show you the test copy of the bonus issue included with your copy of ENHANCED Vol.2.
"...And Justice 4 All!", a 20-page spin-off dedicated to our hacker Andrea, is fresh off the press and looks like a little wonder, thanks in part to the brand-new cover specially created by our graphic artist Manolo Linares. Just a reminder that every physical backer of ENHANCED will receive their copy of the spin-off. Digital backers will receive the digital version.
Progress Update
I'm thrilled to announce that Simone has officially completed the script for ENHANCED Vol.2. This episode boasts a whopping 90 final pages, nearly 50% more than the first installment of our saga. With the inclusion of extras and credits, the full book is set to surpass 100 pages. OH-MY-GOSH. Stefano & Barbara are working hard to transfer everything onto the page. We're really excited about the result, and our hope is that, in every respect, the second volume of ENHANCED will be more MATURE. You want some previews, we imagine...well, here you go!
Chapter 4, Pag 20, Ink+Color
Chapter 4, Pag 10, Ink+Color
Chapter 2, Pag 3, Ink
Shipping Fees / Credit Cards
As promised, we'll wait until the END of April to start charging shipping fees/upgrades on your cards, so be ready! For added security, we'll send a reminder update a few days beforehand.
After successfully charging your credit card, we'll begin distributing the digital copy of Enhanced Vol. 1. This way, every new reader will have the opportunity to start exploring our universe from the beginning.
Hey, do you have some cyber-lover friends that still haven't backed ENHANCED? There's some cool promo on our pre-order store maybe they're interested in! Share the word and let's them join us! HERE the link
Davide Edoardo Cassano, a friend of ours, a cyberpunk lover, and an Italian artist expressing his universe through ink lines and watercolor brush strokes. His entire community has around HALF A MILLION FOLLOWERS.
His Kickstarter campaign "The Art of D.E.C." is doing SOOO well, close to 60K$. The book will not only encapsulate all his best ink and watercolor illustrations (more than 120), but also two short sci-fi comic stories never printed before.
We REALLY suggest taking a look and maybe booking one of those stunning rewards, as we already did! That ArtBook promises big things!

Hello CyberBackers!
How's the start of the new year treating you? Hopefully well! We have some significant updates regarding surveys, along with the premiere of some exciting new footage!
🚀Woo-Hoo! 88% Completed
BackerKit Surveys were out only for 23 days, and today a whopping 88% of our backers filled in their surveys! Well done! 🥳
As we had already mentioned, we confirm that we'll close the surveys on Feb. 15, 2024, one month after opening them. This is because we're working hard to meet our deadlines and by the end of February we would like to have a pretty realistic estimate of the stuff we have to produce. Softcovers, Hardcovers, Variants, all the add-ons...we really have a huge amount to send to print!
Hurry up and have your orders finalized by that day!
What does that mean? Choose your preferred pledge, confirming the Kickstarter one or choosing to upgrade and add as many add-ons as you want. Apparently the hard work done together with the Backerkit staff has paid off, the Survey is working well and a great many of you have decided to enrich their experience.
We want to remind you that if you do not complete the Survey that Backerkit sent you, we will not be able to send you your reward. So if you still have postponed, please do it now!
After the Pledge Manager closes, you will still be able to update your shipping address before shipping starts. Don't worry if you need the book ship to a different address. We will send a reminder out before shipping starts to update any shipping addresses.
Last Chance to UPGRADE your pledge and and grab exclusive add-ons
Inside the survey, you will have the Last Chance to UPGRADE your pledge and and grab exclusive add-ons and unique items. These limited-time discounted Kickstarter prices won't be available again!
Top-rated UPGRADE choices ⬆️
Switching from soft cover to hard cover and from one book to two or more. And among the most popular add-ons, HOLOGRAPHIC CARDS COLLECTORS PACK and Vol.2 METRO DUST JACKETS stand out! And if you need some help, check the previous update, i made a tutorial video to make it easy for you.
"Look this is me" and "Handmade Signed Sketch" Backers
We're aware that many of you are excited to share your choices or send us your photos! For those fortunate backers who secured ultra-exclusive appearances in Nu-Tokyo, we sent out photo requests few day ago via email and Kickstarter messages, so please check your inbox(or maybe the spam) and reply ASAP.
Moreover, we'll soon be sending out requests to all backers who reserved a sketch from Stefano to learn about your chosen character for this unique item! We're eager to hear about your preferences!
