CRISIS IN INFINITE QUARANTINE No. 1 (Dave's Weekly Update #392)

Hi, Everybody!

As you all know, there's a new Cerebus in Hell? #1, and when that happens, Dave's Weekly Update is the promo video:

Crisis In Infinite Quarantine:

And yes, this WAS a free digital comic last year, but:

The Coronavirus issues have been proofread and some errors have been corrected. There are some captions and border notes that have been changed or eliminated when they mentioned upcoming CIH? issues that have since been published. All the inside front covers have been changed for the print versions. The covers have several changes as well. It will be a familiar, yet different experience if you downloaded the originals and then buy the hard copies. Crisis In Infinite Quarantine actually has a bonus strip on the inside back cover that was left unfinished until now.

The most significant changes are to December's Coronavirus Book. It is made up of the daily strips that ran on AMOC except for the Pappy Cerebus/Rapist Virgin Gag strips as well as the Giant Pussy King strips which will both show up in another form in 2022. The ending has been altered from what ran on AMOC as well.

That's per David Birdsong. Good man that Birdsong, I think I'll increase his paid time off...

 
And a new Swords of Cerebus in Hell? volume too:

Swords of Cerebus in Hell? Volume 5

If everybody who backed the Strange Death of Alex Raymond Kickstarter could get their surveys in that'd make me a VERY happy Matt:

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know that we've confirmed our printer, the great Marquis of Ontario, Canada. They do stellar work — those of you who have seen the recent Church and State II or Jaka's Story restorations will know just how good!

We'll be printing on Rolland Enviro Satin, the same paper as those books, but at a higher weight-- 80 lb as opposed to the 60lb used on the Cerebus volumes. Rolland Enviro Satin is in my opinion the best uncoated paper in North America for line art—super smooth for a minimal amount of dot gain, great feel/tactile response.

This heavier weight paper provides less show-through from the previous pages, and gives the whole thing a substantial heft, more gravity, if you will.

We'll be delivering files to their prepress staff on Tuesday, which means we are in need of those last 70 or so outstanding surveys!

I'm going to put together the Kickstarter thank-you page first thing Monday, so unfortunately, anyone who doesn't get their surveys in by Monday morning will have missed the boat on getting their name into the thank-you page for the book.

So please, pretty please, get those surveys in to us today, tomorrow, or Sunday :)

And thank you again for your support!

Otherwise, I'm telling Sean and Carson to just use joke names like "Seymour Butz" "Dick Hurtz" "I.C. Wiener" "Drew P. Wiener" "I.M.A. Wiener" "Amanda Hugginkiss" "Al Coholic" "Homer Sexual" "Oliver Klozoff" "I.P. Freely" "Jacques Strap" "Mike Rotch" "Huge Ass" "Bea O'Problem" "Ivana Tinkle" "Anita Bath" "Maya Buttreeks" "Eura Snotball" "Haywood U. Cuddleme" "Ollie Tabooger" "Ahmed Adoudi" "Maya Normousbutt" "Olaf Maifrend-Sergei" "Yuri Nator" "Lee Keybum" "Tess T. Culls" "Ivana Likyu" "Pierre Pants" "Ima Buttface" "Moe Ron"

And Hobbs Swords of Cerebus in Hell? Hardcover volumes Kickstarter ends on Wednesday. 

And the Waverly Press got notice that the Regency Editions aren't shipping until June 9th. THEN they got confirmation that the books have already shipped to them. Should be at TWP headquarters within a week. As soon as I hear anything different, I'll let you know.

And Dave's most likely calling on Thursday, so get your questions in to momentofcerebus@gmail.com.
