The Jaka's Story remaster has a Starcode! APR191258 First month orders will be signed and numbered! "However many orders there are in the next 2 weeks[?], that's how many signed copies there will be. Diamond will order over the initial orders by some other amount, and those will become inventory books available after the initial order...but they won't be signed." [Thanks Sean!-Matt]
Greg Hyland is Kickstartering the second volume of the Monster Atlas, and if he gets another two hundred and seventy-nine bucks CAD ($209 USD), it'll have Gerhard art like the first volume. It'll look a little something like this.
There's more auctions up at ComicsLink (three days left). And there's a special AMOC auction for the cover of Green Dante/Green Virgil. (Seiler was winning at $100 USD, but then John Christian bid $200 USD and he was winning like a champ, UNTIL Dion Turner bid $225 USD. So he's winning![UPDATE: John has come back with $250 USD, so now John is WINNING!!! More updates, as they happen-Matt])
If you're waiting for a Indiegogo live for the Postcard Kickstarter, like the one for the birthday card Kickstarter, I don't know if there will be one. But all the postcards should be in the mail. So watch for the postman.
The remastered Volume 1 is available digitally for $9.99.
And, heeeeeere's Dave: [When I talked to Dave for the next Please Hold, he told me he's had a severe head cold for the past four days, and he doesn't even remember what's in the this week's and next week's Updates. (It's also why they're gonna be short.) -Matt]

Speaking of Super Cerebus, I got mine:
It's really REALLY funny. And I'm not just saying that because my name is in it like a half dozen times...

It's hard to nail down exact figures. There is a question of what is printed, what is shipped to the stores and what is sold. I hate to disagree with grandpa in public, but there are 1,750 copies of Nick Calm in the world (unless some have been destroyed) and there are 1,772 copies of Super-Cerebus Annual. Nick Calm will not give up the title of rarest Cerebus In Hell? issue easily.
Okay, with two-and-a-half days to go, I guess that I'm winning the auction for the "Bondage Bunny" original art page.
But ...
Ick.
And,
Why did he do it? Except, maybe, to satirize the other icky comic books. Like, majorally satirize them.
But, still ...
Ick.
Oh, and the guys who get CIH?#1 postcards, personalized to them, boarded and bagged, and signed by Dave:
(and I have no idea who these seven guys are but, according to Dave, they are:)
Chris, Dave, Jim, Mike, Brian, Erik, and Chuck. Plus, me.
Guys, I hope you like them. And, I'm guessing that Tim gets one too.

Okay, Grady, you zinged me on that one. And, good on yer.
According to Webster's Dictionary, however, "the spelling 'alright' has never been accepted as a standard variant" [to all right].
So, right back atcha, buddy.

Sorry, but I've always been altogether unimpressed by prescriptivists' feelings about 'alright'--and almost anything else. Although it's an old issue, enough already.
Besides, if it was good enough for Lou Reed, it's good enough for me.
Alright,
Grady.
