An Important Update We've Been Waiting to Share
4 months ago – Tue, Feb 10, 2026 at 05:20:31 PM

 
Hello Backers,
 
Please watch the video above. If you don't see it, visit the kickstarter page that is sending this message.

For months many of you have been asking questions about why this project has taken so long, and we are finally able to give you a proper answer.

Macroverse is in the middle of a federal lawsuit with Adam Fortier, our former Head of Publishing, Ross Richie, the founder and former CEO of BOOM! Studios, Golden Age comics dealer, Harley Yee and others.

Frustratingly, this has directly impacted our ability to deliver on both the Pre-Code Horror and Archie lines of Authentic Editions. While we remain committed to delivering these, timelines remain uncertain while the legal situation is ongoing.

While we obviously cannot discuss details of the lawsuit, Macroverse CEO, Eben Matthews is available to talk with anyone who would like to connect directly. You can book time on his calendar using this link:

Thank you for supporting this project and sticking with us. We will share more as soon as we are able to do so.

Belated Happy New Year + Archie Update Coming Very Soon
4 months ago – Fri, Jan 30, 2026 at 06:00:07 PM

Hi Archie Backers,

First and foremost, a belated Happy New Year to all of you. We hope 2026 is treating you well so far and that you’ve had a great January as we head into February.

We wanted to check in and let you know that we’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to pull together the updates you’ve been asking for - specifically around delivery and fulfillment dates and progress.

We’re actively working through a clear path to ensure that each of these books receives the care, attention, and quality they deserve before making their way into your hands. We're close to being able to share what that is.

The key thing to know right now:

👉 Several important updates are coming next week.

We’ll be sharing a larger, more detailed announcement that finally lays out our progress on fulfillment, along with as much clarity as we’re able to provide at that point. We’ll also be sharing more context of what the future of Archie Authentic Editions looks like - and we believe it’s a bright one.

In the meantime:

If you’re not already in the Authentic Editions / Macroverse Facebook Group, we’d love to see you there. It’s the best place for more frequent updates and direct interaction.

If you haven’t started engaging with the Macroverse platform, now is a great time. We have a number of things rolling out over the next few weeks — including bonus perks specifically for Archie Authentic Editions backers.

Thank you again for your well worn patience and your continued support. We know this has taken longer than anyone hoped, and we truly appreciate you sticking with us.

More very soon. Have a great weekend - 

-- Team Macroverse | Authentic Editions

Happy Holidays Archie Backers 🎉 Looking Ahead to 2026
5 months ago – Wed, Dec 24, 2025 at 01:38:53 PM

Hi Archie Backers,

We wanted to take a moment to wish every one of you a very happy holidays and a happy new year. Your support of the Archie Authentic Editions collection has meant more to us than we can properly express, and we’re incredibly grateful for your extreme patience as this journey has unfolded.

It has been quite a road over the course of 2025, and we’re very happy to say that we’re finally in a position to turn much more of our attention to Archie as we head into 2026. As many of you know from recent updates, getting the Pre-Code Horror Authentic Editions collection fully out the door was a necessary step to clear the path forward. The core Frightening 15 sets have now all been delivered to Pre-Code Horror backers, and we’re wrapping up the final stages of that project. That work has officially cleared the decks for everything Archie-related and what comes next.

We know this update is short on specifics, but we wanted to check in before the end of the year and let you know that things are moving forward. We expect to be able to share a more detailed and realistic Archie schedule in mid to late January. Behind the scenes, wheels are turning, progress is being made, and there is a genuine light at the end of the tunnel you’ve all been so patiently waiting for.

Thank you again for your support, your understanding, and your faith in this project. We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more with you in the new year.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a very happy New Year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

- 💛🧡🖤 Team Macroverse | Authentic Editions
