We are less than $20k away from the final stretch goal! MAX Motion Comic Production!

Hey Backers,
What a solid final! We are so close to busting the FINAL stretch goal to bring the motion comic to the best production possible. Yesterday, we unlocked the $650,000 stretch goal, which increased the number of characters' poses to make it feel more alive and added the production team member Fearghas Hilton (Marvel & DC Comics composer). The motion comic will have a music score!
The $700,000 stretch goal will let us fund a major upgrade to the motion comic. StudioNX will animate the characters' mouths. This will bring our motion comics closer to an animated experience.
Why does it matter?
The success of the comic book was a key factor in attracting more eyes and excitement to the Swat Kats comeback, but the motion comic takes it to another level. As you can imagine, this is as close as we can get to animation (without being an animation). It's gonna make the world say, "Hell yes, we need this TV show!" aka the most important thing that needs to happen for the Swat Kats to potentially fly high for years to come in show, Film, Comics, toys, and more.
LAST MINUTE ITEM! NOW IN ADD-ONS - SIGNED COMIC!
We just added an item to help us get across the $700,000 mark. Swat Kats #1 with a printed pencil cover showcasing the Swat Kats, Callie, and all the main villains from the TV Show. The comic variant will come signed by Christian Tremblay.
You can now add it to your add-ons!
If you add this item before the campaign ends, you will save $10 on it! We will offer it again on BackerKit, but it will be listed at its planned pricing. This cover was supposed to debut on Backerkit, but we want to maximize our chances of reaching the $700k Mark!
ITEM NAME: SIGNED Swat Kats #1 Christian Tremblay
LET'S DO IT!

P.S.: In addition to the stretch goal, let me add that I will get a Swat Kats tattoo if we reach $700,000, and you will choose what I'm getting; my destiny is in your hands (will pre-select 4 and you VOTE). - Kevin Roditeli
You will be able to vote for it, and I will be getting the tattoo live on Instagram!
FINAL 48 HOURS! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And exclusive Final Hours NEW variant cover (the last one)!

Hey Everyone,
First of all, I would like to give my warmest wishes for a happy Thanksgiving to all our American backers. We sincerely appreciate your support. From the entire Swat Kats team, we hope you have a joyful holiday surrounded by loved ones and good cheer!
It's now the final 48 Hours, the most important time for any Kickstarter campaign. It is the moment past launch where Kickstarter will give us the maximum of visibility and notify every follower who has not backed the campaign yet!
To encourage more fans to join the campaign, we added the FINAL 48 HOURS DROP! A Ryan G. Browne (TMNT, Battle Beast) cover that will only be available to backers and not to those who miss the campaign's end (it won't be offered as a LATE PLEDGE). It’s similar to an early-bird special, requiring orders placed before the campaign ends or through BackerKit (The item will only be available to backers who contributed before November 29th, 4pm ET / 1pm PT). We are aware that this campaign had many items, and if you can't add it now, and you are already a backer. No worries, you will still be able to get it later on BackerKit as a backer who helped make this campaign a success, as long as you backed the project before it hits ZERO seconds left!
Here's the Swat Kats #1 Final 48 HOURS DROP EXCLUSIVE Cover by Ryan G. Browne!
You can now add it as an add-ons - Listed as FINAL 48 HOURS DROP items. Available in Artprint and variant covers for Swat Kats #1 (Regular, Foil, Metal, Glow). Even the original is available!
HOW DO I ADD ADD-ONS WITHOUT LOSING MY PLEDGE?
This is a question we get a lot. We apologize, we know Kickstarter is not making this feature as easy as it should be. We already submitted our recommendations to them. We found a great YouTube tutorial. If you're having problems with adding add-ons, here's a great 1-minute video sharing how to:
We heard your concern and requested an emergency meeting with Kickstarter!
Now, you might be wondering why we say 'before the project ends,' because many of you asked and were worried about not reaching the stretch goals that would give us the budget to make the motion comic the best we could. We did an emergency meeting with Kickstarter, and they made it happen! They activated the LATE PLEDGE, so if we haven't unlocked the final stretch goals by the end, we will still offer a few selected non-limited rewards at a 10% $ extra charge to people who missed the campaign, and their PLEDGE will count toward the Stretch Goals. The late pledge will be available for a limited time and aims to give us one last chance to unlock the final stretch goals. As mentioned, this FINAL 48 HOURS cover won't be available to them; only a few selected rewards will! It will remain exclusive to YOU, and forever.
We are currently $2,000 away from the next stretch goal!
Thank you so much for your support; you truly helped make one of the biggest comebacks happen! The Swat Kats are here to stay and continue flying higher and higher!

Hi Backers,
We're nearing the end of the campaign, and you're surpassing the FINAL week stretch goals. Thank you so much for your support! We know many of you were worried about not unlocking more rewards. To reassure you, 48 hours before the campaign ends, Kickstarter will notify all campaign followers who haven't backed yet, which should attract many additional backers. We're tracking very well, and there's a real possibility we’ll unlock ALL the final-week stretch goals if we keep the momentum going!
Thank you so much for the support. We are now over 5,000 backers. We are speechless!

NEW STRETCH GOALS! Final week activated!! Let's make the Motion Comic Even BIGGER!
7 months ago
– Mon, Nov 24, 2025 at 10:57:35 AM
Hey Everyone,
It is now the FINAL week of the campaign. YOU have unlocked all the initial stretch goals. It is time to add more with the reception of the motion comic. We did sit down with the crew at StudioNX and checked with them how we could make the Motion Comic even better and bigger! Alongside upgrading the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover and listening to your recommendation of offering a bookmark.
Here's your final week's stretch goal!
Here's a small recap of information in case you missed the previous updates regarding the motion comic!
WHO IS MAKING THE MOTION COMIC?
It will be produced by StudioNX, an Emmy Award-winning creative studio with over a decade of experience crafting stories for clients such as Marvel, Disney, and Nickelodeon. They previously launched Niko & the Sword of Light, the world’s first fully animated comic, which hit #1 on the iOS App Store and evolved into a multi-award-winning series on Amazon Prime.
We wanted to be sure that we had the right partner for it, and be sure that we deliver a quality motion comic for you with all the support and love that you brought to our project and the comeback of Swat Kats. The motion comic will be the FULL Swat Kats First Ever Comic and will have a minimum duration of a Segment Episode. This needs to be awesome to watch the Swat Kats back in action (of course, keep in mind that motion comics are not animated episodes)!
The motion comic will be available digitally for FREE to all backers. A link will be sent to you once it is ready!
PHYSICAL COPIES ALSO AVAILABLE AS ADD-ON - Since a lot of you asked for it. We decided to do it. We added a BLU-RAY physical edition that you can now add in the add-ons store, but like I said, the digital will be available for all. This is for the fans of physical media who would love to add it to their collection!
Item name in the add-ons store: BLU-RAY | Motion Comic Physical Copy
YOUR NAME WILL BE LISTED IN THE END CREDITS!
Your name will be listed in the end credits of the physical Blu-Ray and digital edition (which the digital will be available for free to all backers). We wanted to give Swat Kats fans the opportunity to be part of the credits. After 32 years, it's because of YOU that Charlie, Barry, and Rob can return to reprise their roles, so it's only right that you share the end credits with them!
IMPORTANT (READ THIS SECTION FOR YOUR CREDIT)
1) Backers will be included only if they pledge before the end of the "live campaign” period for SWAT KATS - FIRST EVER COMIC BOOK on Kickstarter, which concludes on November 29th at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (ET).
2) Backers will be listed in the order their pledges are received, chronologically.
3) The name displayed will match the one provided in the Kickstarter information received with your pledge. Unfortunately, we cannot process individual name changes; all updates must be made through the Kickstarter platform itself. For further details on this process, please refer to the Kickstarter FAQ here. You can change your name for the campaign and revert it later if needed!
4) Wereserve the right to omit any specific name. Profanity or derogatory language is strictly prohibited. We want to thank those who made this project possible, not to spread hate.
THANKS FOR BEING PART OF THE SWAT KATS HISTORY!!
Quick Recap of the add-ons added recently:
SIGNED items have just been added! You can now add to your pledge signed postcards, which will be signed by the Tremblay Bros, and also the Script of the First Ever Comic, which will be signed by Kevin Roditeli and Frank J. Barbiere.
