Welcome to the last week of Bloom Squad!

With 3 days remaining in the campaign, and 50% of our funding raised, it's time for us to pull out all the stops!

And by "stops," of course, we mean fun add-ons and extras! 

Behold...

🔓 New Item: The Tinfoil-Hat Smiley Acrylic Keychain

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you...and this smiley face is not so smiley, because it knows. 😬

But with a tinfoil hat, it's ready for anything! 😅

This adorable and hilarious Tinfoil Smiley acrylic keychain can bring a laugh to everyone you show it to. 

It's just been unlocked as an add-on so you can get one for yourself or someone you love, or heck...why not both? 🤷

Laced with iridescent flecks, this high-quality keychain with shiny, rounded edges is sure to make a great addition to your keyring...or a great gift. 🎁

Add one to your cart in the "Manage my pledge" section for just $12! 🛒

🔓 New Reward Tier: Diamond Dave - Lite

Want to hear what the illustrious Diamond Dave has to say, but not interested in all 14 of our comics anthologies? We get it! That's a lot of reading material. 📚

That's why we unlocked the new Diamond Dave - Lite reward tier!

Make your tin foil hat a thing of the past! Shield your thoughts the Diamond Dave way—but without all the frills! 

For only $99, we'll teach you how to prevent telepaths from reading your thoughts and stealing your secrets! The Kickstarter-exclusive Diamond Dave Way zine tells you everything the Hive Mind of elite telepaths doesn’t want you to know. 

You'll also get: Volume 1 of Bloom Squad in print AND digital; Diamond Dave's business card sticker; a tin-foil hat sticker; 2 gorgeous 8x10" art prints; the exclusive .mp3 audio commentary. Plus a Bloom Squad-logo sticker, postcard, and bookmark; an Oneshi Press crest sticker; and an exclusive Kickstarter-supporter golden seal. 

That's all in addition to personalized thanks in the book and on the website, free shipping in the US (and discounted shipping everywhere else), and a tree planted in your honor!

BETE NOIR

After years assumed dead, the criminal underworld’s most feared vigilante has returned from the grave and begun exacting revenge on the survivors of a betrayal that wiped out the super powered community. As he ticks names off his list, increasingly brutal methods raise eyebrows amongst the people he once called friends and enemies.

But there are still obstacles that need to be overcome. Parts of the plan are yet to be revealed and enemies are stood firmly in the way of the truth.

Meet Dave.

Diamond Dave, to be precise. 💎

You know, from the commercials?

Diamond Dave is way ahead of the curve on telepathy as the developer, owner, and front man for The Diamond Dave Way, an all-inclusive program that teaches you how to protect yourself from telepaths who want to read your thoughts and steal your secrets! 🧠

He's been running a ubiquitous commercial campaign to help the American public for years, and he's needed now more than ever, as the populace is infiltrated by the very telepaths he's been warning it against! 🤯

Now, we're unleashing your very first look at this eccentric, brilliant man…who might just be involved with the Bloom Squad! 🌸

We've unlocked your first glimpse at the Kickstarter-exclusive Diamond Dave art print created by Jayel Draco! 🖼️

The art print is available as part of The Diamond Dave Way top reward tier as a "Mystery Print"…and now also as an add-on for fans of his work! ➕

This print is available exclusively through this Kickstarter, since Diamond Dave likes to keep a low profile. (You know…because telepaths.) 💭

If you've backed already, you can add it to your order by clicking the "Manage my pledge" button and selecting it from our add-ons section! 

Thanks again for supporting BLOOM SQUAD VOLUME 1! 🙏

Maybe the past isn't meant to be copied, but used to make things better in the present. 

Just as their session comes to a frustrating end, they receive a mysterious invitation to The Body Farm. Travel with them to uncover more of what lies in these mysterious lands!
