Two things I should mention….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- I will be at <\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tGem City Comic-con <\/strong><\/a>April 27th \n\t\t\t\t\tand 28th!  Your first chance to see me in 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a new show for me and it’s \n\t\t\t\t\tbeen recommended to me and it looks pretty good. I’ll be \n\t\t\t\t\tthere. My buddies\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tIan Nichols<\/a> and\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tStuart Sayger<\/a> (both illustrators who’s resume’s are too \n\t\t\t\t\tlong to list here) will be there.  The former still \n\t\t\t\t\towing me a drink.  I believe there is a “drink and \n\t\t\t\t\tdraw” type gathering one of the nights, which I don’t \n\t\t\t\t\tusually attend because the thought of spending 5.00 on a \n\t\t\t\t\tsingle drink when that same amount can get me an entire \n\t\t\t\t\tbottle of my usual brand of vodka makes me recoil, but since \n\t\t\t\t\tI have one coming from Ian, I might as well go…it should \n\t\t\t\t\tbe a fun weekend, come say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- The alternative cover I \n\t\t\t\t\tdid for Mercy Sparx from Devil’s Due Ent. can be ordered \n\t\t\t\t\tnow. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More accurately it is called an \n\t\t\t\t\t“incentive cover”.  If your store orders 2 copies of \n\t\t\t\t\tMercy Sparx no.13, they get an issue with my cover for free.  \n\t\t\t\t\tI don’t think I’ve personally ever done an incentive cover \n\t\t\t\t\tthrough Diamond Distribution so…as far as I understand it, \n\t\t\t\t\ta store gets one with my cover for every two copies they \n\t\t\t\t\torder.  Seems simple enough and compared to the b.s. \n\t\t\t\t\tand extra dough stores are expected to shell out when Marvel \n\t\t\t\t\tor DC runs some variant cover scam, this is more than fair.  \n\t\t\t\t\tIt’s an actual incentive, meant to get more copies into the \n\t\t\t\t\thands of more readers. Devil’s Due gets more readers, stores \n\t\t\t\t\tmake more sales, readers get interested in a cool new \n\t\t\t\t\tcomic…(and the incentive is a pretty damn good. Done by an \n\t\t\t\t\tEisner, Harvey and Comic-dom award nominee…that’d be me, \n\t\t\t\t\tin case I don’t mention that enough) it’s a win for everyone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 How about that for outside the box \n\t\t\t\t\tthinking?  A promotion that is actually aimed at \n\t\t\t\t\tgetting people interested in new comics, and not just \n\t\t\t\t\tpicking store’s pockets?!  Holy sh*t, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 As far as I know, that’s how \n\t\t\t\t\tyou have to get it, I didn’t think to make any side deal on \n\t\t\t\t\tgetting a box of copies so…don’t expect to order any from \n\t\t\t\t\tme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s any technical info a store \n\t\t\t\t\tmight need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by Devil’s Due Ent <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercy Sparx #13<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard cover (A) by Matt \n\t\t\t\t\tMerhoff (APR191638)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Incentive Cover (B) by Doug \n\t\t\t\t\tPasz (APR191639)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercy Sparx is a book that’s cross pollinated with Arsenic Lullaby before, the zombie fetuses having made a cameo appearance.\u00a0 It’s a book I like, it’s fun, well done and imaginative.\u00a0 Well worth picking up, and worth stores tuning people onto. Especially people who may be getting worn out on the usual capes and tights stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those of you interested in the original art for this cover..it….is already sold. Sorry. But hey…I posted about this cover a couple of times, you didn’t think you’d be able to wait until it was printed and in stores to ask about it did you? Rookies.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of that, with the convention season starting, you might wanna roll through that online store and grab any one of a kind stuff you want before con goers grab it up.\u00a0 OH, and we THEORETICALLY have figured out how to modify the shipping charges so you’re not getting dinged full shipping for each item if you get several.\u00a0 Furthermore, I think shipping is free after 50.00…something like that? Uhm…look…it’s late and webmaster Joe’s probably asleep…but I’m pretty sure the cut off is 50.00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
