Jack Hammer: Political Science, our flagship title, has been nominated for "Best Rookie Title" in the Project FanBoy Awards!  This is a great honor, but we need your help.

Please go to http://awards.projectfanboy.com/?pageid=pfaabout sign up (if the site requires you to do so) and cast your vote. There are a lot of great books and a lot of talented creators nominated this year (as every year, we're sure!) and we need your help to win!

Remember, every vote counts and we're counting on you!

Hope everyone had a great holiday! We're rapidly approaching the final day of 2010, and we'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past year. We've actually passed the official one year anniversary of our founding, but it's never too late to say THANK YOU. We really appreciate it.

That's the main reason we held our recent holiday 2010 twitter contest, which came to a conclusion on Christmas Eve. Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone else, make sure to check back often as we have a few more contests planned for 2011.

And while you're here, Cosmic Book News recently reviewed Reasonably Priced Comics #1. See what Byron Brewer, their managing editor, had to say. http://comics.cosmicbooknews.com/content/review-reasonably-priced-comics-1

Since we're approaching Christmas, we thought we'd do a little holiday giving of our own.

In that spirit, we're having a little contest on Twitter with a daily winner receiving a free download of Reasonably Priced Comics #1 from DriveThruComics. 

The rules are simple. Each day from now until Christmas Eve, we'll be mentioning this contest on our twitter feed and each person who retweets the message will be entered to win. On Christmas Eve, we'll pick three winners (one for each day the contest runs) randomly from those who retweeted the message. Easy enough, right?

So there you have it. Now to get to tweetin'!

A Comic Book Blog reviewed Jack Hammer: Political Science #1 last night. Go and read what Geoff had to say here http://acomicbookblog.com/comic-book-reviews/jack-hammer-political-science-1-review/ then, if you haven't already, why not pick up a copy for yourself in our store?

Speaking of, all orders (that came directly to us) from this weekend  went out on Monday and each included a thank you gift in the spirit of the season.

Just a quick update to close out the weekend.

A Comic Blog reviewed the first issue of Reasonably Priced Comics and Mr. Geoff Arbuckle, without any doubt, loved it! You can read the review for yourself at http://acomicbookblog.com/comic-book-reviews/reasonably-priced-comics-1-review/ but the money quotes are below:

On Voyaga "The story is emotional and gripping.  I literally was sad when I reached the final frame and couldn’t get more of this story...Voyaga has a chance to be an instant classic"

On Chu's World "Chu’s World is a cute and endearing strip.  It’s almost like the anti-Scott Pilgrim."

On Laces "Laces was totally unexpected and very well written and drawn"

On the book as a whole "After reading the whole anthology from start to finish, I sat back and thought “Wow”."

You can get a copy for yourself in our store and by all means, drop us a line and let us know what YOU think. We really do want to hear it!

As always....stay tuned, there's more to come!

First up, Kitty's Pryde reviewed Reasonably Priced Comics #1 today. Go check it out! http://www.kittyspryde.com/?p=5807 And once again, thanks for the support KP. We really appreciate it!

Next, Reasonably Priced Comics #2. The issue is finalized in terms of content. In addition to the second installment of Voyaga from Brandon Barrows and Rudolf Montemayor, we have a sci-fi tale from the British team of Alex De-Gruchy and Richard Durham featuring alien gangsters and lounge singers and an eerie slice of life story by Mike Nichols and RPC #1 vetern Silvina Rinaldi. The current scheduled release date for the book is April 6th, 2011.

In other anthology news, the story line-up for Reasonably Priced Comics #3 has also been finalized. Along with the penultimate chapter of the first Voyaga storyarc, we'll have a brand new Kidthulhu story by Martin Brandt II, another RPC #1 alumnus, and Jason Stephens. As things stand, we're looking at a July 2011 release. Check back often for more details!
