We'll be at some upcoming shows: 

Wondercon: March 16-18 in Anaheim, CA
Emerald City Comic Con: March 30th-April 1st in Seattle, WA

And here's some space bros from memory in anticipation of ME3:

We are super busy today, in preparation for the aforementioned conventions and wrapping up some Benign Kingdom deadlines. We'll catch you Thursday!

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys! That's the last page of the Lucky Penny excerpt (courtesy of the kind folks at Oni Press). If you're curious, here are links to the whole thing: 

Lucky Penny 1
Lucky Penny 2
Lucky Penny 3
Lucky Penny 4
Lucky Penny 5
Lucky Penny 6
Lucky Penny 7
Lucky Penny 8
Lucky Penny 9

We've gotten a lot of questions about when it will be out. Short answer is we're not sure! Yuko's working hard on it! But we'll be sure to mention it on the website when the publication date nears. Hope you enjoyed it!

@ConnorGSims made an animated version of this comic - check it out! And if you click on me right before I take my hat off, you get the alternate ending (incidentally my favorite). 

We're a little swamped right now so we're going to get right back to work - see you next week!

Lucky Penny!

Page 8 of 9! The last page will go up on Thursday. Hope you've been enjoying it so far! This whole excerpt has appeared courtesy of Oni Press - thanks guys!

I'm going to keep this one short as there's a lot of work to do, but I did want to mention Rich Stevens' Kickstarter for his Diesel Sweeties E-book. The guy is offering a lot for very little - it's a deal! And he keeps adding crazier and crazier goals. Check it out!

Exquisite Beast has been updating in a timely manner! Catch up if you've missed the last few, it took an interesting turn. 

That's all for us! Catch you Thursday!

Event at Midtown Comics tomorrow!

Haha, I've been pretty excited for this page. That lion's making the same face Penny is!

We're doing a Johnny Wander event tomorrow for Midtown Comics in Manhattan! It's from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, you should totally come by! All of the info is over here on the Facebook page. Hopefully see you there!

Lastly, the Benign Kingdom Kickstarter is ENDING! If you want in, now's a great time!  

Catch you next time!

Benign Kingdom ending soon!

Whoa, busy day. Here's the next Lucky Penny page. Lucky Penny is the book we're working on for Oni Press. 

A note on orders: we have been super swamped and are a little behind on getting orders out. We're very sorry about that and hope to be all caught up by the end of the week - thanks for your patience!

The Benign Kingdom Kickstarter ends in 3 days! The art books are all available at a discount through the Kickstarter - once we have them in hand the price will normalize. 

For those that have already donated - you guys have been incredible in supporting this, thank you! We're so excited. 

Catch you Thursday!

Adam Warrock, Benign Kingdom, Midtown Comics

Love that wide shot! Yuko so rarely gets to do stuff like that in the usual JW stuff - it's nice to see her flex. 

A couple of things:

JW:Volume 1 is at Midtown Comics for 25% off for the month of February! We'll be doing some sort of Q&A at the end of the month and we'll keep you posted on details for that. 
The Benign Kingdom Kickstarter is a week away from ending! The books are priced low for you kickstarting early birds! All the fancy extra treatments got funded so they're going to be some very handsome collections. 
Adam Warrock has a new album out! It's called You Dare Call That Thing Human?!? Adam Warrock is the guy who wrote the Johnny Wander song a little while back.

That's all! Catch you next week!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day you bozos! Hope you all have a good one. We played that Mass Effect 3 demo and then got right to work. Because we're in love with COMICS. 

Catch you Thursday!

Lots of bullet points!

We had a vending machine in my high school that did this to students. It was a real roll of the dice, which is probably for the best because I don't think there's ever been anything healthy inside of a vending machine. Oh, if you're just joining us, we're posting an excerpt from Lucky Penny, the Oni Press book we're working on. 

We're doing some shows this year! Come see us at:

Wondercon in Anaheim, CA - March 16-18
Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, WA - March 30-31, April 1
MoCCA in New York, NY - April 28-29
TCAF in Toronto, Canada - May 5-6

Other items that I mentioned earlier this week:

Special Editions will be temporarily removed from the store on Friday at midnight, so if you want to snag one I suggest getting it now! We're not sure when we'll be able to offer them again, as it's a very busy month. 
JW Volume 1 is on the shelf at Midtown Comics in Manhattan for 25% off!
Exquisite Beast has been updated a few times, check it out!
Benign Kingdom continues!

That's all I got! High five, see you next week!
