1 WEEK to Order GOD MACHINE, Dragon*con + Interviews

You only have one week left to order The God Machine!!! Ask your local comic book shop to order it, or get it over at DCBS

Remember it's VERY important, [and it'll always be important] to PRE-ORDER THE GOD MACHINE with your local comic shop! It informs my publisher there is a need for my book [you know, so they keep me on for later books etc.] and also informs Diamond Distributors that it's something they want to keep solicited. It also tells them how many books to print, and also if you order through your comic shop they'll ACTUALLY have it there!!! Remember kids, I have an indy book, and comic shops don't naturally pick up these titles because they are more riskier to sell than say your Marvels and DCs. If you don't do this now, or for future books, there might not be a GOD MACHINE at your store. [this applies to all indy comics btw.]

It's a hard industry, and there is a reason why a lot of titles don't make it. It's really up to you guys to be proactive! [I know, I'm not much of a proactive person myself.. it sucks!]

AUGUST 31st is your deadline!! Go order THE GOD MACHINE: Preview!!!!

**********

Dragon*con is FASTLY approaching!! Sept 4-7th in Atlanta, GA.

I'll have prints, mini comics, commissions, stickers and other goodies! If there is a particular piece you'd like to see as a print, please tell me! [my gallery for choices]

I can't wait to see you guys!!

p.s. I hear rumors there is supposed to be a GOD MACHINE street team? hmmm...

Go forth and order THE GOD MACHINE + Other Archaia Comics

Heads up! The God Machine is finally making its way to the presses!
This October!!

yay!!!

BUT! In Order for it to make it to your comic shop, you have to tell your shop you want it!!! [and that you need it!] Please don't expect it to just show up, because sometimes comic shops don't order all comics. I know, It makes me sad to. :(

Print this out-
THE GOD MACHINE- PreOrder by =SpookyChan on deviantART and take it to your comic shop! Help give them an idea that this is the book they need to order for their shop. [please!!!]


Now don't be fooled by the "Preview" title. I assure you that there is a full issue full of lush colors and bonus pages! [With never before seen bios!] None of that sample page dealy stuff. This will satisfy your God Machine cravings!! Think of this as just a "preview" of the main course, the GRAPHIC NOVEL!

-------------------------


Wait? What's that? Need More comics... Yes, yes you do need more comics!!!

Me best matey, Mr. Patrick McEvoy [artist] and my other very good friend Dave Rodriguez [writer] have a hard cover coming in October as well!!

Starkweather : The Immortal [from Archaia too!]
They have a Order ticket as well-

Starkweather preorder coupon by ~PatrickMcEvoy on deviantART
[same deal as my book, print it, take it to your local comic shop, and order! Also their on DCBS as well!]




Still not enough? Need something NOW?


Well why not the ultra sexy Awakening Hardcover? It drips with the amazing talents of my dear friends Nick Tapalansky & Alex Eckman-Lawn!

I've been praising this book forever, and it's finally in a hardbound edition that's amazingly beautiful. mmmm existentialistic zombish noir! Go get it over at Amazon, or your local book/comic store. Or yell at the book store to order you a copy!


And even more gratifying for getting something right now, we have my new friend,
Josh Fialkov and his Kindle comic, Tumor! You can get it on Kindle, or read online. See Josh's page for details!



------------------


Don't forget!

DRAGON*CON!! Sept 4-7th! I'm a guest! Come see me please! I'm working hard on getting advance copies of the God Machine for this convention! [you heard me right.] But I can't promise anything... but sources say- more than likely!!


That's it kittens!


Love you guys!

SDCC 2009, the aftermath of Epicness!

And so... another Comic-con has come and gone. What a delightful time it was too! I saw many of my dear friends & colleagues [some whom I only knew online], connected with fans, and added to my collection of hyper cool convention stories.

It must be said, that the Archaia group is just amazing. I love all of those guys so much. Even with a restructuring, it's still the same family. From our creators, to our staff, to our lovable interns- there's so much to love!


I have to keep this brief due to the fact that writing is hard on the hands.

The panel I was on, was a surprising success! I wish there was video of the first half with Nick Tapalansky & Alex Eckman-Lawn [Awakening], Josh Fialkov [Tumor] , and myself [The God Machine], but sadly no one has found this yet. :(

After all of us we're done, Zachary Quinto and his production company “Before the Door Pictures,“ came on to present their 2 new books, Mr. Murder is Dead and Lucid. [Which they are doing with Archaia.]

After they presented their books it was time for Q&A... uh oh! ^_~
All questions were for Quinto and Co.... minus one. A dear sweetie, by the name of Kat, who is a fan of mine did the ballsy-est things I've ever seen. She did not ask “Before the Door” guys anything, but her question was pointed towards me! I had no earthly clue til that moment. I was floored! Mr. Stephen Christy [Archaia] encouraged me to come up and answer in front of everybody. This also happened to be the perfect opportunity to give Mr. Quinto my little print of Spock

SPOCK by =SpookyChan on deviantART

So before I took the question I gave the print, and turned to take the question. You can see it all here-
[I come in at about 4:40 mn]

Anyways, as you can tell I was very dorky. But no one said I was a good speaker, I just make pretty pictures and write stories away from the public. It was super cool to meet Mr. Quinto that way. [I adored him as Spock, since i'm a big Star Trek fan throughout, hence my answer.]

A big thanks to Kat for getting up there, and making my convention a memorable one! -You rock girl!
Other bits of news, me best matey, Mr. Patrick McEvoy did some interviews at SDCC for the incredible “Ninja Mountain Podcast”, which features yours truly, and featuring Steranko, Alex Eckman-Lawn, Dave Rodriguez, Mark Smylie, etc. Go listen to it! [pst! This link is a direct link to the show]
*also I apologize for being so giggly and inapt at talking... did I mention I don't get out much?

ALSO! The biggest announcement to come out of this trip, was to find out that OFFICIALLY my book, “The God Machine,” is coming out this October!

ORDER IT! [pretty, pretty, pretty please!!!!!]

THE GOD MACHINE- PreOrder by =SpookyChan on deviantART
[see image, and under it for more info]

More follow ups on this to come!


Last, but not LEAST!

DRAGON*CON!! Sept 4-7th! I'll be a guest. Come see me please!
Also I have 2 tickets for sale [both are for 4 days , @ $100 a piece] I need to sell these!!! I bought them before I knew i'd be a guest. :( If anybody is interested contact me at witchycrankypoo@gmail.com – I accept paypal. This is the going rate for tickets right now. But you'd be helping me out if you purchased them from me!

Thanks guys!!


I think that's it... I wish I could go into all the wonderful moments and all the incredible friends and talent I got to pal around with. But this will have to do.

Thanks to all who stopped by, bought a print, mini-comic, or just stopped by to chat!

Also, a few photos over at myspace.

Love you guys!
