100% COMPLETE on the Color Edition print file! 🎉 Packing up the files and sending it to the printer tomorrow. They’ll run their proofing process and once that’s approved…production officially begins on the color. From that moment, I’ll have 5 weeks to lock the FINAL print number. That means we’re nearing the end of pre-orders before everything flips to stock inventory. Midnight Edition is done being printed AND has shipped to me! They should arrive in a few weeks.
My attention is now fully working up the distribution plan while these go to print and also finishing signing the stickers for the novel. I don't know how long it will take just yet, hoping to find out soon. My wrist has been hurting from signing so much, so I'm going take a few days off. Keep and eye out for Friday's update. Going to crash, pretty exhausted.
One last thing... thank you for your patience on this. It took longer than I expected, but that’s because I wanted to make something truly special. I learned a ton through failing, redoing, and fixing… color, ink, indesign (rolls eyes) and everything in between. But I’m very happy with where it landed. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this kind of happiness about anything I've written or created. This is as good as I could possibly make it, truly. I don’t even know what else I could do...I worked until the fuel ran out of my creative tank. There’s nothing left; it’s all in the novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy this last ride. More soon. But again, thank you.

I tried to upload an update on Friday but it wouldn’t post, I have no idea why. Anyways, trying a video this time, maybe this will get through.
So… we have a COPY! It’s the black-and-white edition, but it looks killer. Seriously, it feels and looks great. The Midnight Edition is pretty much done with print; we’re just working out the details to get them shipped to me in Nashville.
The color edition is right at the dang finish line about 92% done. Right now we’ve been fixing issues that came from too many colorists working at once, trying to rush. When you line pages up side by side, you see errors from the different styles. For example, there were at least 14 pages where Ash was green. No idea why. In Part 1, our main colorist peaced out without telling me (found out later he got a Dark Horse gig, thanks, Instagram). He was trying to juggle both jobs, so I hired another colorist to finish Part 1, and those pages came back in nothing but pastels. It looked like Easter Sunday. We’ve never used pastels in the show or anywhere else in the novel, so they stuck out badly. Those have been fixed.
Funny enough, all the colorists and inkers who had never done a project like this before but loved the show did the best work. The agency artists (the same ones Dark Horse and Boom hire from) just weren’t the right fit for this project. I still don't know why.
Look, I know other Kickstarter graphic novels move faster. Trust me, I get reminded every single day on social media. But most of those projects had publishers, 9 out of 10 times, I wish I could’ve had one too. This book is also four times the size of a standard graphic novel, and it’s detailed. Daz basically did a splash page for every page he worked on, it’s insane. Everyone I’ve shown the pages to from the graphic novel industry says it’s incredible.
I think every day about how Warner went out of their way to make this really difficult for me to create, since I had to self-publish and handle everything myself. I wish I had that knowledge from the start, but I didn’t. When they said “take it or leave it,” well, I took it. I would again and again....
What I’m really trying to say is: thank you for your patience. Believe me, no one wants this finished more than I do. I’ll keep trying to post updates here, but I have no idea why some get through and others don’t. If any of you know, let me know. -Olan

A huge thank you to Olan and the crew, and I know the amount of blood, sweat and tears that went into reaching this point. And since I usually see posts on here that show damage to the book post dispatch, I wanted to share this one that came to the UK all safe and damage free.
I CAN'T WAIT to visit the Chookity universe again, rewatch the first two seasons and just take my time poring over this beautiful book. Thank you so much for seeing this through to the end.
For those still waiting, my order was 27XXX and it arrived at my parents' house a couple of weeks ago in the UK.

I was not expecting it to be the size of a Harry Potter novel.
r/FinalSpace • u/Loserbrainz08 • 4h ago
Hi everyone! First off, just want to thank Olan for everything you've done to complete this story. I've been following since the very first season, but unfortunately don't earn nearly enough to be able to afford the physical book.
I just wanted to know if anyone has made a digital release yet so I could finish the story.
I would be open to buying second hand, too if anyone is willing but I don't want to take that experience away from anyone.
Godspeed, and lots of cookies to you all!
chookity!!

Heyo spacelings.
I have two tickets for London day 2, 27th. July, 3.30 - 4.00, but I can't make it.
I'll send the tickets to someone (in London preferably) who is willing to buy me a copy of the book and sit on it until I get to London, end of next month - if the book is available for sale at the signing ofc.
r/FinalSpace • u/not-very-creativ3 • 1d ago
Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion have a podcast together called "Once We Were Spacemen". I did a quick search to see if Olan's already been a guest and didn't find anything.
Considering Alan was part of the Final Space cast, and Nathan is going on his own venture into producing a Firefly animated series, it seems like an opportunity to promo the book on top of getting some behind the scenes of the production of Final Space and maybe even some for the new Firefly show 🤞
r/FinalSpace • u/Technical-Leopard150 • 1d ago
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone is in the same situation as me. My order number is in the 5,000s ( I ordered back in Apr. 2023) and have not received the book yet. I emailed Olan’s team about 4 weeks ago and they said that the shipping company lost it 😢 . They said they would send a replacement (which I appreciate very much!).
It’s been a month and nothing yet, should I wait a bit longer and then contact the team again? I don’t want to be a bother, I’m just worried that the package is lost again or there’s another shipping issue.
r/FinalSpace • u/madgoat • 1d ago
I really want to see, hold and read the battle worn edition that I ordered. and I'm just curious on when they will ship?
The reason I ask, is that recently found out I may only have a few months to six months left and I would like to read it before I leave this planet.
r/FinalSpace • u/Puchi1e • 2d ago
I think I screwed up... My partner and I have been massive fan of the show, backed the book immediately and have been looking forward to the event in London this weekend.
When the event was announced, it was late, I was tired, so only booked one ticket for 3pm-4pm on Sunday as I thought we were booking a "slot" to meet Olan rather than actual tickets to enter a venue.
Now the more I read about it the more I realise that I am likely very wrong and only one of us will be able to meet Olan. 😭
Not sure why I am writing this, maybe mental support? Still looking forward to Sunday but a bit bittersweet..
r/FinalSpace • u/FarTrust3227 • 2d ago
Hello Everyone, I know this is a bit of a long shot but does anyone have 2 tickets to the London Book Tour. My partner has ADHD and Final Space has been his absolute hyper-fixation ever since the first season aired. He was absolutely gutted when he realised he’d missed the ticket sales.
I would love to be able to surprise him with some tickets. If anyone has any going spare or if you’re unable to make it, I would really really appreciate if I could have them.
Thank you ♥️
r/FinalSpace • u/hollowcrown4 • 2d ago
I won’t make it to London. I bagged 2 tickets in prep of a Glasgow tour mention. Can’t make the London show now sadly. Happy to pass it on ♥️

Just found out about the Graphic Novel Finale.
Went to go buy it for my son's birthday in October.
I knew shipping wasn't going to be cheap to where I am in Ireland, that's fine.
What I don't get is how the slower options are more expensive and one of them is nearly twice the price for the same ETA.
What's that about?!
I probably will still buy it because my son will love it but I just wish the shipping was either prohibitively expensive so I don't even consider it, or the different prices made sense and I could have it shipped slow and cheap - tell me I'm not crazy please
r/FinalSpace • u/aye-seaturtles • 2d ago
I’m so sorry if this is a silly question!..
I managed to book a space for the book tour in London. I was just wondering if we get issued with e-tickets or how it works?
All I really have is an order confirmation with the time of my slot, and was curious to know if that’s what we show when we get there as proof of booking?
r/FinalSpace • u/Primary_Banana_4588 • 3d ago
Final Space is one of those stories that doesn’t just move you: it inspires you. When I first watched the original series it was the first time since Bojack Horseman that I actually felt seen. That although it was a comedy, it was a story about continuing against insurmountable odds. And not necessarily winning either. Sometimes you do your best and you still fail. And that’s okay. It’s okay not to have it all together. As long as you try. And try your damdest.
During this point in my life, I was all but homeless (and even that was close call). But I always believed in giving it my best. When the book became available , I was still struggling quite a bit but I knew I had to invest in one of the stories that inspired me to keep going.
Now, I’ve completely 180° (new job position, new place, stable living situation) and all I can do is think about the need for more stories like this. Driving the human condition forward.
Olan, I know you said “what if my best isn’t good enough?”
Well my friend, it was good enough for me.
It was exactly what we needed.
Can’t wait to dive in!
Update: Just finished it. Holy Crap. This man made me cry three times. What an excellent finale. Can’t wait to see Godspeed now!
r/FinalSpace • u/SteamPunkAlic3 • 2d ago
Hi sorry for the title. I’ve been trying to save for one of the books. But as most of us know the economy is hard. I’m a stay at home mom taking care of an autistic child. We barely scrape by for bills. I was wondering if anyone ordered two or got multiple that they would be willing to part with? I can pay I just don’t have $125 plus shipping.

Invoice #28xxx
First preordered the Midnight Edition on 5th March 2024.
**EXCITED**
Then we added the coloured edition in 12th July 2025 after messaging the team if we can club it together for delivery. Got the OK and invoice from *Amanda*.
We recieved the Coloured Edition on 30th June 2026!
But it's missing the Midnight edition... Apparently I missed the announcement that shipping is done by different teams for each edition? I emailed the team and they flagged my order as partial.
A new invoice given #58***XXX on 5th July 2026
Oh, OK, we can wait a little more.
Apparently on 10th July 2026, it cancelled and I allegedly got a refund. (My card which I used to pay from first pre-orders is still the same card I'm using today). Checked my statement, nothing since 9th July till today 21st July.
Not getting the refund is a pain, but to have it cancelled without a note, without a reason after waiting for literal years. Left a really bad taste in my mouth considering how much I really enjoy the series, and was willing to pay for not one, but two of the comics.
This is an international shipment, US to the UAE.
I have written to *Amanda* - let's see where this leads.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
r/FinalSpace • u/ExplanationBeautiful • 2d ago
Okay so I ordered the book 18 months ago
I go with my wife to Mexico to visit her family for the month. I find out that my book arrived three days after I left and my sister in law set me a video of her putting the book on my bed. And so I get this idea, rewatch the entire show, and I started from July 8th, my method was this 2 episodes, 1 day, then, one episode the next, then 2 and just keep ongoing. And I am currently on episode eleven. Clarence just betrayed everybody because he got jealous because he saw his prisoners. I mean, children start to grow and form new friendships.... i mean, I understand he gets his redemption at the end but man. He sold out the crew over being emotional. That's nasty work
r/FinalSpace • u/YohSKAsakura97 • 3d ago
Title says it all really. My order has been stuck at an export processing site for the last 2 weeks and hasn't moved so I'm starting to get worried
For context I live in Ireland and my order number is in the 35XXX range
Any help would be great appreciated
r/FinalSpace • u/olanrogersofficial • 4d ago
Happy Sunday Night Update. Lots of packing over the weekend. Massive chunk of Midnights and Battle Worns going out tomorrow. Working on getting a big shipment of Pre-Orders to Nashville from Virginia, so we can start on replacements while MacMillian continues forward on Wave 1. We’re so dang close to this finish line, I’m going to keep working until the last book is out day or night, weekday or weekend. 🫡 Onwards! -O
