Joe's Comics Imprint

[Jan]

JMS just posted a link with info on good prices for some of his current and past titles in digital format:

Also, for the collectors out there, Sidekick #8 will have a foil cover (first for Joe's comics) so orders will need to be in early. JMS previewed it here:

From JMS' Facebook page. Okay, one's not a Joe's Comics imprint...oh, well.

Another red-letter week for JMS books: Coming out this Wednesday we have Sidekick 6 (Barry begins his turn to the dark side), The Adventures of Apocalypse Al 3 (Al battles the dark side in a theme park because where else would you find that kind of soul-killing darkness) and Terminator Salvation Final Battle 5 (let's be honest, it's all the dark side).

Some great art previews, too:

That is great! THANKS JAN!

No new comics this week but I noticed that in Apocalypse Al there was a URL printed along with the QR code for smart phones. For anybody who hasn't heard them, here are the links to the Issue #1 audio dramas for Joe's Comics (so far):

Apocalypse Al: http://studiojms.com/apocalypse-al-audio/

Enjoy!

Nice new newsletter from Joe's comics with preview pages from 'Dream Police' and cover previews of that and other titles.

I love the art and coloring I'm seeing on all of these.

Banner day at the comic shop this coming Wednesday, Feb. 5:

Holy crap...I just realized that I'd written down a date wrong...turns out that next Wednesday not only are The Adventures of Apocalypse Al #1 and Sidekick #5 hitting comic stores from Joe's Comics and Image, but so are issue 2 of the Twilight Zone book I'm doing for Dynamite AND issue 3 of the Terminator title I'm writing for Dark Horse.

Four books on the same day...I may pass out....

Here are the covers for all four issues in one spot....

There's a new Joe's Comics newsletter:

And check it out, there's now a Joe's Comics Newsletter for retailers and other folks. http://us3.campaign-archive2.com/?u=...&id=18a6c75d11

Looks like it'll be a good place for previews.

Image has a 50% off sale going for their digital comics. Here's a link to JMS' comics:

I asked how long it takes for JMS to write a comic script.

Jan: about a week to ten days, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, depending on whether or not the story is cooperating.

General comic update from JMS:

Busy week-plus: turned in scripts for Sidekick 4 and Terminator issue 3, conspiracies revealed in the former, new designed Terminators in the latter.

JMS posted an interview from his table at SDCC. Of particular interest might be what he says about "Alone" with Bill Sienkiewicz:

(oh, good lord...I actually spelled Bill's name correctly without looking!)

Just found it in the newly posted Quick Guide. The J. Michael Straczynski table in Artist Alley is II-16 which is on an aisle and there's probably some line-up room available, depending on whether the entry doors will be open or not.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's there some of the time but apparently there'll be a separate Joe's Comics table as there was in Chicago.

Not yet, we're waiting to be assigned a table in Artist's Alley.

Hope they give him a good location for lines like they did there.

There's an Image Comics booth at 2729...possibility

[Jan]

I asked JMS about how many of the con variants there would be and he replied:

There will be 500 of each variant sold at the Studio JMS/Joe's Comics table, and Ten Grand #4 with the regular cover, also by Brian Templesmith, is still available for pre-order.

I also asked for a booth/table number as I've been looking at the exhibitor and artist alley lists and can't find a listing for either Joe's Comics or Studio JMS.
