Hey all. I’ve a few things to mention book-wise.

The first is Matt and I are trying to open more space for storage in the house. Which means… we’re having a back stock clearance sale! With the Volume I trade available, the floppy versions of Issues 1-7 are now out of print with only a small amount of each issue remaining. To help clear room for upcoming books, Issues 2-7 are now available for $1 each at the RCSI Publishing store. (Issue 1 sold out at Penguicon.)

We are also currently out of Issue 8. A new order has been placed with the printer and more copies should be arriving in a month or so.

Let’s see, what else… Oh yes! Matt and I found out last night that a few used booksellers on Amazon are offering the Volume I trade for sale, some up to $59! Which is hilariously ridiculous. Yes, this is completely legal, they bought copies and can try to resell them if they wish. The thing is… the book is not out of print, it’s just no longer being sold through Amazon because of various problems. Long story that makes me annoyed and I don’t want to go into it.

So yes, if you ever want a copy of a book produced by a small press publisher (like us, or Sofawolf, or FurNation) try contacting the publisher first. You’ll get a better deal and they get more income from the book, allowing them to create even more works for you.

Isn’t self publishing fun? Actually yeah, it is. There’s so many things to learn and new contacts to make. It’s a little confusing and challenging at times, but well worth it.

Speaking of which, I got the Volume I trade into a comic shop! Yep! New England Comics up in Quincy, MA is now carrying Volume I of ‘Hunter’. Sweet!

As for the news I’m really excited about, as all y’all who’ve been putting up with me gabbing for years now know, ‘Hunter’ is a big series. In fact, a little too big. Which, is one of the reasons for the side series that are slowly coming out – like ‘Joshua’ and ‘Assistant’. Matt and I have been trying to widdle the ‘Hunter’ series down to its main points and have finalized it to… nine trades. Volume I is already out, with Volume II about 1/3 complete.

We’ll be spending the next month or so solidifying how many issues will be needed to complete each arc. Having a solid, fixed number of issues to the end gives me a goal I can actually see and mark, rather than the ambiguous ‘we’ll get there when we reach this point in the characters’ lives’ approach we were using before.

What happened is we’ve removed a lot of filler, pushed events forward, and tightened the whole over-arcing plot. We’ve been setting the dominoes up so far, we’re getting ready to start knocking them over. And the closer I get, the more ecstatic I become about bringing you what’ll be happening in the future. So yes, things are starting to click into place on multiple fronts. It’s shaping up to be an exciting year.

And, on that note, I should get to work. I’ve pages to do, after all. Later!

Hey all! It’s Wednesday, Matt and I are back from the con, Holly’s been picked up from the pet resort, and Tiny will be coming home this evening. Life’s winding down to normal and I’m about ready to get back to making comics. But, before I do, I’d like to tell you a bit about what happened this weekend at… Penguicon!

First off, welcome to everyone who’s stopping by for the first time. Thanks for giving us a read! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Matt or myself via the message board or by email.

The con was a blast! It was great spending a weekend meeting other comic creators face to face. Comic making is often a lonely business at times. I know, so sad. But, we got out and about, made new friends, and spread our general brand of chaos. Good times.

It was nice to see Randy, Fes, and Earl McClaw again. We also got to meet a number of cool people like Howard Tayler, David Willis, KEZ, Tara, Alex, Tanya, Mark, Dave, Jason, and Adam. Also, a big thank you to everyone who stopped by the table to see us! I think this was honestly the most fun we’ve had at a con yet! I mean, where else can you see a giant cupcake car? No place that I know!

So yes, lots of fun. I came back with so much swag and still didn’t have enough cash on hand for everything I wanted to pick up. Oh well, there’s always next time. A number of people asked if ‘Hunter’ was available in comic shops. Which, was interesting. That’s never happened before. Cool! In case anyone is curious, Matt and I are working on some special offers for store owners. We should have those up soon.

Oh, the store! There are a few changes, the main one being that Issue 1 is no longer available in print. We sold the last issue at the con and, since the Volume I trade is available, we won’t be reprinting them.

Also, Issues 2-7 are at the end of their print run. While some copies of these remain, their numbers are limited. To help clear out stock and reclaim the storage space for upcoming books, Issues 2-7 are discounted in the store for $1.00 each.

We’re also sold out of Issue 8 at the moment. We placed an order with Ka-Blam last night and should have more in stock around the first week of June.

For anyone who would like a copy of the “Ruby Sunset” print, it is available in the store. The small fee is to cover the cost of shipping. Because that can add up after a while.

And, I think that’s it for the moment. I need to get back to making more pages to share. Thanks everyone for stopping by! Take care!

Hi guys, Darc and I are back from Penguicon, we’ll have a more complete con report soon.

However, we have a few announcements stemming from the convention.

First off, Issue 1 of ‘Code Name: Hunter’ is now out of print.  We sold the last issue at the con, and won’t be reprinting them.

Additionally, Issues 2->7 are also no longer going to be printed.  These issues are currently discounted in the online store, available for only a dollar each.  (The store will be back online tonight, once Inventory is complete)

We also sold out of Issue 8, however, we’ll be receiving new stock of 8 & 9 in early June.

Con-report later.  COMEDY Tonight!
