Hey True Believers!
This summer has been a whirlwind, let me tell you. Lots of exciting news on the horizon, and lots to keep me busy from now until the end of the year!
As I’m sure you know, DRIVE LIKE HELL is roaring closer and closer to it’s release on 10/25, and Alex, Hassan and I have been working hard on the final issues of the series.
And, I’m happy to share a sneak peek of ALL 4 covers with you today! Usually these get revealed month by month as previews come out, but with the final issues releasing towards the end of the year and beginning of next, Dark Horse released their January covers as well!
And, I also wanted to share some nice things fellow creators have said about the series:
A lot of you might have read that FOC, or Final Order Cutoff, has passed for this series, and wondering if that means you can’t preorder it anymore - but I’ve got good news - you totally can!
FOC is a kind of confusing aspect of the preordering system, but all it basically means is the date shops have to decide the number of copies they want to have available on release day. FOC numbers help the publishers determine the print run, and the distributors allocate the copies to every shop that wants them.
But that doesn’t mean shops can’t order more copies past that date, either for release day, or to come in the following week - so if you’ve been sitting on the fence about the book, go ahead and let them know you want a copy, no matter when!
One last cool thing to share with you - a select few of these cool little trinkets are finding their way into the world as we speak.
You might find one at THIRD EYE COMICS, or EAST SIDE MAGS, or other stores I’m planning signings with, and you might even find them if you come see me in person in NYCC’s Artist Alley (Booth J-25) in a couple of weeks!
What will these keychains unlock? You’ll just have to wait and see!
Hope to see some of you at NYCC, and wishing all of you a great Autumn!
