Just a quick update to the dozens of FoJ fans around the world! As if it wasn’t glaringly obvious, we’ve taken a little hiatus. The purpose of this break is to try and get ahead of the game so we can get more than a few issues out in a year. As of right now, issues #6 and 7 and are done with #8 about halfway through the art process. The script for #9 is about halfway done and #s10-12 are plotted out to the point where it’s just a matter of breaking things down to a page-by-page script and adding dialog.
We’re also working out the details of how we’re going to actually et the book out to you. As you may, or may not, know – Diamond Comic Distributors, the monopoly, the leading distributor of comics to comic shops around the world, set new quotas for books to hit and any that didn’t were dropped from their catalog. As a result, getting the book to comic stores is going to be… well, difficult is a pretty good choice of words. Rest assured, though, we WILL get the book out there and make it as easy as we can for you to get your mitts on it.
We may be calling on YOU to help – once we have things finalized, we’ll need you to spread the word by letting your comic shop know that the book is still available. We’re currently working on discount levels and pricing structures for retailers and hope to have everything finalized in the next few weeks.
And before we forget — convention season starts up soon and we’re going to try and hit as many shows as we can. So keep an eye on the APPEARANCES page for updates. And if you run a show, or own a store, and it’s within 3 or 4 hours of Charm City Baltimore, MD, and are interested in having Mike Imboden for a signing or whatever, just drop us a line and we’ll see what we can do.
So sit back and be patient. We’ve got a helluva story in the works right now and you’re not going to want to miss it!
