Notes
- Where any other source conflicted with the Kickstarter on details (page count, etc.), I gave deference to the Kickstarter.
- I took the July 19th publication date from the Kickstarter post that stated orders were shipped on July 19th.
- As mentioned above, there's no ISBN, or ASIN. I can also verify from my own copy that there is no publication info page.
- Another Goodreads user requested to post this previously, but it was rejected/closed after they didn't respond to query about ISBN/ASIN/source: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
- Tentshow Comics appears to be a one-off imprint that was used for the publication of this project only.
- The band's official store is a seller site, but I believe this should fall under Goodreads' exception rule for self-published cases.
