Hey, folks!

The kind gents over at The Stack Podcast have said some truly kind words about Cura, which we very much appreciate. Go! Listen! It’s the latest episode, 18, addressing 52 (a fave comic of mine). Cura’s toward the end, in the recommendations, but the whole podcast is a riot, so you should listen through. Many thanks to John Kozempel for the recommendation.

Enjoy!

Also, as a side note, for those of you in Seattle, I will be at the Jet City Con this weekend, so come say hi!

Hey, folks! Alan Kistler interviewed me about Cura this last week, over at Crazy Sexy Geeks! Many thanks!

Go! Check it out!

Also, you can now get Cura in several local stores, if you live in the Pacific Northwest. There will be more to come, I’m on a crazy tour to get more on shelves!

You can now find Year One at

Over the coming week, I will be adding a banner encouraging folks to buy the book in stores, along with a page listing where the comic is sold, and how to get the comic sold locally.

If YOU know of a store that would carry Cura, I offer stores deep discounts. Please encourage your local retailer to get in touch!

I will also be updating the “New to Cura” section shortly, now that the trade rush has passed. Thanks for enjoying the comic, folks!

One last thing: I will be at the Rose City convention this weekend, and I will also be at the Jet City con, in Seattle, on the 22nd!

Short Stories…

Hey, folks! I am writing a series of short stories as a sort of supplement for the comic, side tales like INRICTI, where I can stretch the legs of some stuff a bit. It won’t be fast, but it’s coming, and I’ll keep you all in the loop.

I am writing this to ask, is there any character or idea in the series you especially enjoy, and would like to learn more about? Another tale of Andrus? The reason Charlene can drink everyone under the table? Let me know.

The first two involve Charlie confronting his parents and what they did to his life, and what happens when Charlie meets a black version of himself, but there are other ideas rolling around.

What do you want? More Dark Everett? More of the team? A story of the OTHER Charlies, the ones we don’t know yet? Let me know in the comments!

If there’s a package that’s not here you’d want, email me and I can arrange custom stuff. The above is just what’ll be readily available in the store.

UPDATE: Anthony R. Cardno’s site has an EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW of the INRICTI short story! Head on over there to read a good chunk of it! The basic premise is the Dark Everett going back two thousand years with a preacher Charlie to examine certain ecclesiastical mysteries…

ALSO, as a side note, putting all this together took a while, so we’re going to take another week to rebuild the buffer, continuing the sketches and cool extras, and come roaring back the next week with new pages! (June 9) There will still be content, do not be worried!
