Diamonds

It’s been yet another busy week here at Single Edge Studios and I have a few announcements.

First, we had our first known ‘shout-out.’ Yes, a very funny web-comic called The Indies included a Wayfarer’s Moon poster in the background in the May 16th update. We’d like to thank The Indies for the shout-out and appreciate being included in the comic. Your check will be arriving shortly (there is no check).

Secondly, a really great fantasy web-comic was brought to my attention: DeadHeaven. This comic well and truly rocks, though it is Not Safe For Work for violence and nudity. Unless, of course, you work at a place called Violence and Nudity, in which case, you’re probably okay.

Lastly, I would like to announce that our trade Wayfarer’s Moon: The Road From Southfield will appear in the June Diamond catalog. Diamond is the largest distributor of comics in North America, which means that any comic store in the US can order our book and stock it on their shelves, which is pretty damn cool.

It also means that any one of you (once the June catalog comes out) can go to your local comics retailer and suggest to them that they order one or more of our trades (preferably in the hundreds).

Simply walk into your local comics’ retailer and say, in a loud, clear voice: “Good book-monger, if you have not noted, a treasure has appeared in the Diamond catalog. A veritable feast of fantasy called Wayfarer’s Moon: The Road From Southfield (catalog #: JUN110991). Were I you, I would hasten to my computing device and procure as many as possible, for certainly, such a wondrous tome would add both luster and prestige to your humble storefront.”

It might help if you’re wearing a top hat though.

Anyhow, this is a big step for us and hopefully, will be the first of many graphic novels to come.

Cheers,

Stupidly Busy

As the title implies, Leigh and I have been stupidly busy here at Single Edge Studios. We're trying to finish up our trade by this weekend and there have been the usual stumbling blocks. We can't find a file. We don't have the right printing quotes. Our page count is off. The ninjas keep attacking.

Yeah, the ninjas have been a pain. It seems that they will stop at nothing to prevent us from publishing our trade. They keep shouting something about a 'prophecy' and 'end of the world' and 'free burritos' or something as they attack. We keep trying to interrogate them afterwards, but it's hard to talk after you've been bludgeoned with a crowbar.

Leigh keeps telling me not to hit them so hard, but I can't help it. I get excited.

Anyway, we should have good news next week, assuming the ninjas don't manage to critically injure Leigh's drawing hand.

And, of course, there's only about a month left until we start updating again! Hint: Lily and Iri go shopping!

Cheers,

Another Friday!

Once again, it is that time of the week. The weekend approaches and as much as I love my job, I'm always happy to get a couple days off, though I will be at the Emerald City ComiCon all weekend, working booth B-19 with Leigh and Leah. Their names are just a weird coincidence, trust me.

It has been a busy, busy week for us here at Single Edge Studios. We've been getting ready for Con season, writing scripts, and getting our first trade paperback together. It'll contain our first six issues as well as . . . drum roll please . . . additional content! Yes, we've been at forges, hammering out new, exclusive content for our first trade. We hope you'll like it when it finally comes out (hopefully, for the San Diego Comic Con).

Anyway, have a good weekend and if you can, come see us at Emerald City!

Cheers,
-Jason
