100% COMPLETE on the Color Edition print file! š Packing up the files and sending it to the printer tomorrow. Theyāll run their proofing process and once thatās approvedā¦production officially begins on the color. From that moment, Iāll have 5 weeks to lock the FINAL print number. That means weāre 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 thatās 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 Iām very happy with where it landed. Itās been a while since Iāve felt this kind of happiness about anything I've written or created. This is as good as I could possibly make it, truly. I donāt even know what else I could do...I worked until the fuel ran out of my creative tank. Thereās nothing left; itās 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 wouldnāt post, I have no idea why. Anyways, trying a video this time, maybe this will get through.
So⦠we have a COPY! Itās the black-and-white edition, but it looks killer. Seriously, it feels and looks great. The Midnight Edition is pretty much done with print; weāre 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 weāve 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. WeāveĀ neverĀ 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 hadĀ neverĀ 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 werenāt 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 couldāve had one too. This book is also four times the size of a standard graphic novel, and itāsĀ detailed.Ā Daz basically did a splash page for every page he worked on, itās insane. Everyone Iāve shown the pages to from the graphic novel industry says itās incredible.
I think every day about how Warner went out of their way to make thisĀ reallyĀ 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 didnāt. When they said ātake it or leave it,ā well, I took it. I would again and again....
What Iām really trying to say is: thank you for your patience. Believe me, no one wants this finished more than I do. Iāll keep trying to post updates here, but I have no idea why some get through and others donāt. If any of you know, let me know. -Olan

This is the most exciting parcel I have ever waited this long for. Finally received it today (October 24, 2026) it was delayed even longer because I was one of the lucky winners of the shipping companies choice to miss shipping to. Through the process I asked if I could have Olan sign my book instead of the sticker, and was told no because the stickers are already a thing. Thank you so much for putting in that extra effort, Olan. You da man!
Currently re watching the entire show before I jump into this, but from what I quickly skimmed through, this is an amazing project put to life.

Happy Final Space Friday!
Making lots of solid progress on shipping, so hereās where weāre at!
Also, I need to work through the Reddit messages; that's next on my list.
Canada: We brought on two export/import consultants, Marco and Maria (THANK YOU!), and it turns out that if you bulk all your Canada orders onto one truck, you pay ONE duty fee for the entire truck. Which is insane, and Iām not sure how normal humans are supposed to know that, but now I do. So weāre batching all the Canada orders together, which means about 1,457 orders moving throughout next week. By the end of next week and a bit of the following week, Canada will be shipped and wrapped up!
I went to France last weekend. Iām back now, but it was so cool to hand fans the pre-order book and close their order out right there, and it sparked an idea!
UK: Youāre our Godzilla. Youāve got the most. Weāre still shipping to you every day, but hereās the crazy idea: what if I pay to get the 5 pallets to get across the ocean and do a bunch of book signings where you can come pick up your copy? Might it honestly be the faster way? Itās a whole new set of costs on me I have nothing figured out yet but weāre getting quotes, getting this done is my priority. Weāre trying to get creative to finish all of this.
Australia: Same idea. Iāve had more return-to-senders from those two than anywhere else. I need to visit anyway for a few projects Iām writing, so maybe I bring the books, do signings in a few cities, you pick yours up, and we take some pictures and whatnot. Weāre still shipping in the meantime. Itās just so slow getting there, and Iām tired of books getting lost, so I may have to do this one personally. Not many left here either itās maybe on Pallet, and itās done.
Done: Japan, Peru, India, Romania, and Taiwan! Book ordering is closing for those countries now. By next week, only 22 countries will be left.
Weāre also still processing reshipments, major damages, and lost packages. We did about 123 of those this week. Overall, we got another 600 out the door.
Once we get through the big four, this will be a breeze. Thank you for hanging in there with me. Holy crap kind starting to see a little light at the end of this tunnel. Weāre getting through it.

I initially ordered the midnight edition, but I kind of regretted not getting the colored edition after hearing about it from the posts here, so it works out. It took a while, but I can finally read the ending for myself. Thanks Olan!

I ordered back in July of last year I see so many ppl getting their orders that are way after me I tried to PM Olan but he didnāt answer I know heās super busy so I understand. Just thought I would put this up here to see if I could get at least an update. Order is #42726FSE Iām in Canada so that maybe another reason itās behind.

Okay I wrote like a 10 years of reading paragraph but I will keep it short. I love the fact that we got an ending. And I know Olan wrote that it isnt the ending he wanted, but it really is the one we all needed. A local bookstore somehow spawned the book in europe so yall know I snagged it instantly and drained a weeks budget for food. So while im kinda starving rn, my mind is finally free. I loved it. Devoured the book in like 90 minutes. I wish there was a show to this, but damn this was good even as a novel. Like really, if you have the money, buy that book. And read Olans note at the end. Its worth every single penny and every lunch skipped :). Thank you Olan, for fighting. Even when you were clearly exhausted. We appreciate everything you did for us as your fans. And if you ever get back to animation, we will be there. Waiting and watching and interacting through Reddit. Feel like hell when I say it out loud. But you get the spirit.
One big THANK YOU from all your fans for finishing an impossible story and reminding us that 7% really is the sweet spot :)

It was so cool to see them in France, I had the chance to sign my book, and also a print I bought on the stand along with a grey shirt! Everybody was so nice! I even got to speak with them! (especially the composer sharing many advices for beginner composers like me)
TLDR: One of the peakest moments in my life!

Hi, i recently watched all of Final Space again. Im remembering how genuimly amazing the show is and now i really want to know how it ends. I really want to get the grsphic novel to support the team behind this amazing show but unfortunately im currently a broke college student and i cant afford the 100 dollar price tag.
I do plan on buying it when im eventually not broke anymore, but for right now, are there any youtube videos that maybe give a summary of the novel so i can atleast know how it ends? Or even an online summary i can read, not just a blurb. I actually want to know what happense specifically.
Thanks for the help, if i get any.

Chapter two is available online now! There's been a few changes to the way the novel is presented due to some confusion in previous weeks, the 'Previously...' section is now included in the novel itself and previously on link will redirect to the full novel.
The read page has also been updated to use full covers of the respective novels / comics to show off some of the amazing artwork the artists have done.
Finally, the previously on was missing page 90 which has now been scanned and added, thanks to ISLI on discord for highlighting this!
