Breaking news: YOU can get Original Dave Sim Art!

 

As Friend to the Blog Steve Peters said in an update on his NEW Kickstarter: Comicverse: Subspace Chatter Softcover Collection. 

Hi folks--- It is now GO TIME to get a chance at the original art by Dave Sim for the "Tails of Sparkybus" #4 variant cover. The largest cash donation (not including a reward item) made before tomorrow, July 11, at 5:00 PM EST will get it. I did pay Mr. Sim for this piece, so hopefully the highest donation isn't $10! A donation will help me to continue paying Dave for other projects.

AND, Dave sent me this update on the Cerebus Humble Bundle:

So, if you think the Cerebus Humble Bundle deal is a rip-off since you bought 'em from CerebusDownloads.com, feel free to track down Dave and let him know you FEEL betrayed. And you DEMAND your $99CAD back! (And that you don't CARE if he spent the 75% Aardvark-Vanaheim keeps, since Dave sends Gerhard 25% of all the CerebusDownloads.com revenues, on food. You're taking food from an old man. Right out of his mouth. (Okay, hand.) (Okay, it's not food, it's money.) (And it's out of his bank account.) (But DAMN IT! You. SHOULD. Feel. Bad.). YOU tell Dave all that. It WAS the best deal in comics. And after the 18th, it'll resume that status. But, just because a once in a lifetime opportunity landed at Dave's feet and he could actually make a lil' scratch, go ahead. Bitch 'bout it. Be THAT kind of fan... I dare ya. I double-dog dare ya...)

Emergent news: Monster Atlas

Hi, Everybody!

Two posts in a day? What a country!

The Monster Atlas Kickstarter is ending in 24 hours.

It has reached the stretch goal of Gerhard artwork, so if you're interested, you got less than a day. Here's our good buddy Greg Hyland:

Last Day! Posted by Greg Hyland (Creator)

We're less than 24 hours away from the MONSTER ATLAS Kickstarter campaign ending. Thanks to everyone that's backed us so far. It's been overwhelming! This is a project that I thought about doing years ago, and I seriously started working on it last spring. Last year at FanExpo I was walking around showing people a stack of black and white pages I printed out of my computer and talking about it to anyone that would listen. Now it's pretty exciting that in a few months it will be a real colour book that people all around the world will have! We're at 97 backers (as I write this) and the goal in my mind was to hit 100. It could happen! My plan is to have the book done and printed by the time FanExpo Canada happens at the end of August. Glenn just finished writing the last pass at South American monsters and I just finished laying out the Mexican, Caribbean, and Central American pages, and generating the South American maps. I want to spend the first two weeks of July finishing the South American artwork, then the last two weeks doing final layout, editing, and proofreading, then get it to the printers at the beginning of August. This will surely make sure I have the book for sale at FanExpo Canada and all backers will have their books in September, as promised.

 You remember Greg right?

Yeah, him.

Next Time: Whatever's Emerging, it'll be on Emergent News!
