Flight 5 Preview Online

The complete preview of Flight 5 is up! You can check out bits of each story, including half of mine. The image above is the actual title page, not the one shown in the preview. This is the page that had the most revisions, so things got a bit confusing, and I don't blame them for getting a little mixed up. In fact, the credit for the design in the preview should go to Neil Babra!

Flight Volume 5

Flight Volume 5 is coming! It will be at the San Diego Comic-Con, and in stores soon. Newsarama has an interview with Kazu regarding the new volume, and it gives a good impression of what the book is like. There are also several previews on Newsarama, but not one for mine yet. Maybe there will be? I'm not sure. So, keep an eye out for the next couple of weeks, if you'd like, but I can't promise anything.


My story is titled "Timecat," and is a true life story about my cat's delusions of time travel. Interesting note: As Kazu mentions in his interview, this volume of Flight features its longest stories yet, with several over 30 pages long (some over 40, even)! However, "Timecat" is my shortest story to appear in Flight, at only 8 pages. Still, it is maybe my favorite contribution, as it marks my return to direct and fun gag humor. This one could have fit right in with the Tales of Unusual Circumstance material!

Happy Birthday, Nodo!

Well, the San Diego Comic-Con is approaching, and unfortunately, I won't be there. I do have a new story in Flight 5, which will be debuting at the show. So if you're attending, stop by the Flight table and pick up a copy! The Flight table is always tons of fun, with lots of artists, books, and sketching!

But! What this time of year also signifies is that it's been almost 1 year since The Ride Home debuted at SDCC '07! And just in time, a new review has surfaced from Shuffleboil!

Many of you who are reading this already own a copy, most likely, but for those who don't, now would be a great time to purchase one from the AdHouse Store, Amazon.com, or anywhere else that finer comic books are sold (but personally, I recommend the AdHouse Store)! And, hey, already own a copy for yourself? The Ride Home would make an excellent gift for a friend (or a friend's kids!)!

Now for the really good news: To celebrate The Ride Home's first birthday, I'm offering a gift to you! If you can send me some sort of proof that you've purchased a copy of The Ride Home between the dates of July 10th, 2008 and August 15th, 2008, I will send you an original TRH drawing, and charge you only enough to cover postage! That's $2 for regular shipping, $5 for priority, and $10 international. If you are familiar with TRH, you may request specifics in the drawing, or I can make it a surprise! You can send copies of dated reciepts, shipping notices, photos of you at comic shops purchasing TRH, etc. to joey [at] tragic-planet [dot] com ! You have until August 15th, but why wait??
