Arachna 4 Update: Backerkit Surveys and Preview
13 days ago – Sun, Apr 05, 2026 at 10:51:22 AM

A quick update on BackerKit surveys. They are running later than planned, and that is on me. We are actively working on them now, and they will be going out the week of April 13.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you again for backing Arachna 4 and supporting X53 Studios.

In the meantime, here is a preview from the X53 Swimsuit Issue: Peril Edition where Arachna and Kumo are hanging out:

Arachna 4 Update: QC Complete, Final Sweep, and Surveys Coming Soon
about 2 months ago – Sun, Mar 01, 2026 at 03:11:46 PM

Hi Everyone,

Arachna 4 is a wrap. Quality control is complete, and we are doing one final sweep before the files go to the printer.

Compared to the original timeline, we are about two weeks behind, but we also expanded the book. The main story is now 56 pages, and we have added a 4-page “Laundry Day” bonus story by Carlos. All things considered, we are in a good place and heading into the final stretch.

BackerKit surveys will go out in about two weeks, so please keep an eye on your inbox (and spam/promotions folders, just in case).

Thank you again for backing Arachna 4 and for supporting X53 Studios. More soon. Next up is Blood and Brass (the relaunch of Vindicators), coming around April.

In the meantime, here is a sneak peek from Arachna 4, right as Arachna’s nightmare is about to begin: 

Arachna 4 Production Update
3 months ago – Mon, Jan 26, 2026 at 07:21:02 PM

We’re happy to report that Carlos has officially finished all the artwork for Arachna 4, and the book is now in Quality Control.

One important update. Arachna 4 is now 56 pages instead of 52. We added the extra pages so the story could breathe and land properly. No rushing and no shortcuts. The end result is a stronger book, and we think you’ll feel the difference when you read it.

Carlos has already moved on to the Arachna “Laundry Day” short story, a fun and dangerous side tale where Arachna fights crime in the buff. This bonus story will be included in the hardcover and digital editions.

Thanks again for backing Arachna 4 and for sticking with us every step of the way.  Meanwhile, here's a preview of Kumo kicking ass in her new costume.
