If at that point you still have not received one, first please check your spam folder, and check that the email you used on Kickstarter is the email account you're checking.

If that doesn't work, you can click the link below to enter the email address associated with your survey and BackerKit will send you a new one:

Surveys Being Tested!
28 days ago – Thu, Jul 16, 2026 at 01:43:02 PM

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce that everything for the BackerKit survey setup is now in a good place. We have begun doing a "smoke test", which is where we send surveys to only a small group of backers to make sure there aren't any issues before sending them out to the larger group.

Assuming there are no hiccups or issues reported during the test, we plan on launching surveys to the wider group by Monday, July 20th

We'll do another update when this happens, so stay tuned!

2 months ago – Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 12:32:30 PM

The Darkness Complete Collection Vol. 4 Kickstarter has officially come to a close.

On behalf of Marc Silvestri and everyone at Top Cow, thank you to every backer who supported the campaign. Your enthusiasm, support, and passion for The Darkness helped make this campaign an incredible success.

Because of you, we unlocked stretch goals, funded new content, and continued the legacy of Jackie Estacado and The Darkness for fans around the world.

Marc asked us to pass along his sincere thanks to everyone who pledged, shared the campaign, and helped spread the word.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We can't wait to get these books into your hands.

— Marc Silvestri & the Top Cow Team

Post Campaign Details:

We at Top Cow and Rocketship Entertainment would also like to say thanks to everyone who made this such an awesome campaign to be a part of!

There are a lot of questions coming in now that the Kickstarter is over, so let's dive in:

Q: I missed the campaign - can I still pledge?

A: Yes! We have Late Pledges turned on! If you go to the campaign page you'll be able to select rewards as if the campaign were live.

Q: How long do I have to do a late pledge?

A: Late pledging here on Kickstarter will be available until right when we're ready to launch the BackerKit surveys. When the surveys do go out, we'll turn late pledging on Kickstarter off, but then will turn the BackerKit pre-order store on. This store functions as a late pledge platform, so even when surveys go out, you'll be able to pledge if you missed the campaign. We'll keep late pledges going through the spring, shutting it off later in the summer time as we get close to our fulfillment date.

Q: When will the BackerKit surveys be going out?

A: We are aiming to have BackerKit surveys launch around the week of July 13th.

When surveys do go out, they will go to the email address you have associated with your Kickstarter account. We'll do an update officially announcing when they have begun to go to everyone. It's worth noting though that it can take BackerKit up to 48 hours to process all surveys fully. If at that point you still have not received one, please check your spam folder, and check that the email you used on Kickstarter is the email account you're checking.

Note For Apple ID Users:

Please note, if you use an Apple ID with your email address, a different email could be generated for you for security reasons, and as a result, you might not receive an email to your survey. If you need this email changed, please click here to direct message us so that we can help! (must be logged in to your Kickstarter account for this link to work).

Q: What's the purpose of the survey?

A: We use these surveys primarily for two reasons:

• To collect shipping payments and addresses for all our backers, so that we can eventually send their pledge rewards.
• To provide backers with the ability to modify the reward tier they selected or get a last chance to add-on items. 

Q: How long will I have to complete my survey?

A: Our goal is to get as many surveys completed by backers as possible, so we give around 30 days from their launch to allow everyone proper time. If you need more than that, it's ok. :) 

Q: When will my order arrive?

A: As noted in each reward tier, estimated fulfillment on digital rewards is August 2026, while physical rewards is November 2026.

With fulfillment timelines, please be mindful of the following, which is noted on our FAQ:

The delivery dates associated with each reward are based on our anticipated production schedule. They are not guaranteed and, as they are described, are ESTIMATES. Once we finish surveys and all add-ons are locked we go into production on those items and will provide campaign updates throughout the process. Should dates shift, which is not uncommon, we will provide new estimated delivery dates in updates. Please note, that no date provided should be considered a locked and promised date until we have the books at the warehouse and until such time all estimated dates are subject to change.

Q: Who can I talk to if I have questions, requests, or issues with my order?

A: If you have questions about your order,  please click here to direct message us so that we can help! (must be logged in to your Kickstarter account for this link to work)! Please always direct message us here on Kickstarter. We can't perform customer service on social media.
