Issue One Now Available

Issue one is now available to buy from the online store. Here's the link. I think it's a great issue, and I'd highly reccomend checking it out. It's only $1.50, so you've got nothing to lose.

Issue Two's Pencils Finished

More good news to announce, the pencils for issue two are now finished. Carlos and Marcelo have about eight pages to ink, and then the art for the issue will be done. We're on pace to have the book out as scheduled, on November 15. It's looking great, by the time the first issue is out, I'll have a five page preview of issue 2 up on the site.

Carlos has sent me the first demo tracks from the soundtrack, and they're sounding great. He's going to refine them, and then we'll put a couple of tracks up on the site.

As the first issue's launch date gets closer you'll be seeing some interesting stuff up on the site. I did an interview with The Pulse that should go online pretty soon. So look for that, and if you haven't ordered the book yet, now's the time.

Issue One Printed

Today the first batch of issue one copies were printed, and they look great. Order now to ensure that you get your copy when it's released. I'm very proud of the way that this turned out, it' been a long journey to this point, and it's very gratifying to see the final book in print, even though it feels like work that was done a long time ago. I wrote the script nearly two years ago, and issue one was pretty much locked when it came time to draw the book, whereas I was working on all the other issues right up to the point when they were drawn.

But that doesn't change the fact that it's cool to be able to hand someone a copy of the book that they can read. That's immensely gratifying. In terms of future progress, issue two is going well, about three quarters finished, and Nic's already done a bunch of his stuff on issue three, so we'll be able to stick to the monthly schedule. There's going to be a bunch of new stuff coming up on the site as we get closer to the launch, so be on the lookout for it, it should be pretty cool.

Issue One Preview Online Now!

Today we've added a thirteen page preview of issue one to the site. You can download it in PDF form (right click + save as). This is a public domain file and I want to get it out to as many readers as possible, so e-mail it to your friends, post in on your site, whatever you can do to spread it around. And besides that, I hope you enjoy reading it, it gives you a taste of the book, and will hopefully whet your appetite for the whole meal.

Issue One Almost Finished

Our letterer, Damian, sent me three new pages today, meaning that we've only got three pages left to be lettered and then the first issue is finished. It's a bit strange working now because everyone is at a different stage in the book. Issue one is almost finished being lettered, but Damian and Shawn have already finished their pencils for issue two, and have started on three. I'm still revising issue three, and am writing issue five, while Carlos is halfway through his pencils for issue two. So, it's a bit tough to keep focus, and finishing issue one almost seems like an afterthought at this point, but I'm still very proud of the fact that we did it, and I think it came out very well.

In other news, I've been working on a redesign for the site, to make a bit easier to navigate, and more aesthetically pleasing. That should be online by the weekend.
