In preparation for that, we've got even more cool stuff to announce! # NEW STUFF: ## 1\. Feelie Bundle This may be my favorite bonus we've ever made. Inspired by PC games of the 80s and 90s that included objects from the world of the game, often called “[feelies](https://gallery.guetech.org/greybox.html?ref=matthewbogart.net)” in their box, if you preorder my upcoming book *Incredible Doom Vol. 2* through BuyOlympia, you can get *three* special bonuses. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9c/0c/9c0c3ed1-6073-42fe-82e4-7701884d4597/content/images/2022/07/floppy-disk-and-flyer-photo-1.png) 1. A working recreation of **Allisons’ personal floppy disk**. It’s filled with her files, unseen emails with Samir, diary entries, ASCII art, and more. 2. **An original bookplate**, designed by me and signed by Jesse and me. 3. **A torn flyer for "ZephyrTech,"** Allison and Samir’s internet provider. The brochure includes clues for accessing Allison’s private online storage, which contains the same files as the floppy disk. I love this bundle so much! The secret site we built that the flyer gets you access to is SO fun. I can't believe we found a place that would manufacture floppy disks for us. Combing through this stuff makes you feel like you're snooping around the character's hard drives, stumbling upon both actual files from 90s BBSes and ones created by the characters. I think you're going to love them.

It's the artwork used under the dust-jacket for Incredible Doom Vol. 2, and it goes wonderfully with [the print from the Vol. 1 case.](https://buyolympia.com/Item/matthew-bogart-neighborhood-print?ref=matthewbogart.net) # Behind the Scenes I've been releasing a TON of fun behind-the-scenes stuff recently. ## 1\. Video Series ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9c/0c/9c0c3ed1-6073-42fe-82e4-7701884d4597/content/images/2022/07/CleanShot-2022-07-25-at-14.45.38@2x.png) I started a new video series on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/matthewbogart?ref=matthewbogart.net) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/matthewbogart/channel/?ref=matthewbogart.net) about the stories behind *Incredible Doom.* The things that inspired it and how we went from printing mini-comics at home to a book deal with one of the biggest publishers. It's lots of fun! ## 2\. Secrets of the cover ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9c/0c/9c0c3ed1-6073-42fe-82e4-7701884d4597/content/images/2022/07/Incredible-Doom-Vol.-2-Cover-Hardback-Cover-and-Case-Mockup.png) Like[ with Vol. 1](https://www.incredibledoom.com/news/2021/2/22/incredible-doom-collection-cover-reveal-amp-pre-orders?ref=matthewbogart.net), I wrote about [all the easter eggs hidden in the new Incredible Doom Vol. 2 cover](https://www.matthewbogart.net/2022/07/21/lets-talk-aobut-the-cover-of-vol-2/). I also made an in-depth video for patrons about how the publisher and I reached that design. ## 3\. Vol. 2 Art Previews ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9c/0c/9c0c3ed1-6073-42fe-82e4-7701884d4597/content/images/2022/07/Tina-jumps-up.png) And, as usual, I've been sharing [spoiler-free previews of the art for the new book](https://www.patreon.com/matthewbogart?filters%5Btag%5D=behind%20the%20scenes&ref=matthewbogart.net) with patrons. There's only *one more* newsletter till Harper Alley drops the first new *Incredible Doom*. I'm *SO* excited for you all to get to read it. Everyone on the team did such a fantastic job. Until then, come say hi, and I'll see you around the internet! # LINKS Here are some interesting things I've found around the web. - I loved [this investigation](https://defector.com/the-secret-history-of-the-internets-funniest-buzzer-beater/?ref=matthewbogart.net) into the origin of one of the web's rare pre-YouTube viral videos. - Did you know there's a [2nd excellent-looking graphic novel coming out in September with "doom" in the title](https://twitter.com/Balakin01/status/1550571015947837444?ref=matthewbogart.net)? - [A great breakdown of how the YouTuber economy works](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoWcQUjNM8o&ref=matthewbogart.net). Anyone trying to make money from their art would find it interesting. YouTuber or not. - [A Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/hankgreen/status/1546951287006105600?ref=matthewbogart.net) about how we've been miss-attributing "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." to Carl Sagan when a pretty badass-sounding woman wrote it.
