RPC#5 is out April 11th, but we sent out some advanced review copies to spread the word.

Byron Brewer of Cosmic Book News was the first to hit the digital presses with his review. According to Byron, the issue is "a pleasure" and "a wonderful comic!" Thanks for your support and enthusiasm, Byron! You can read his review for yourself here.

Following hot on CBN's heels, Geoff Arbuckle of A Comic Book Blog said "This anthology series has been incredibly entertaining with each issue that I've read!" As always, Geoff, we appreciate the kind words and appreciate your help in spreading the good word. You can read Geoff's full review here.

And get ready to pick up your own copy on April 11th. Issue five is a super-sized 32 pager and features four stories, including the conclusion of book one of VOYAGA, the continuation of LACES (from way back in RPC#1), a standalone superhero comedy called "The Perfect Moment", and the first installment of a brand-new series called HAPPENSTANCE.

Don't miss it!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our fellow Americans, and happy opening of the holiday shopping season for our friends abroad.

It's been awhile since we updated, and since then a few things have happened, most notably the release of Reasonably Priced Comics #4.

The below cover is the one for the published issue. Last update, we posted a similar cover but production issues prevented VOYAGA from returning for the final part of the first story arc. In its place, we found two stories from the RPC Vault to take its place. The issue is outstanding and more diverse than any other issue we've published so far.

To entice you to check it out, digital copies are available on DriveThruComics this weekend for only 69 cents. That's 30% off of the normal digital price of 99 cents and less than a third of the price of a print issue!

Use this link to take advantage of the sale on the digital copy. Good until the end of Saturday. The book is also available on Graphicly for your preferred mobile device and in print at the usual place.

And be sure to let us know what you think!

Good morning, everyone!

A few days ago, we showed you the unfinished line art for RPC#4's KIDTHULHU cover by Jason Stephens. Well, check out the final lettered cover? Pretty sweet!

RPC#4 cover features a brand new KIDTHULHU story by writer Martin Brandt II and and artist Jason Stephens, the final part of book 1 of VOYAGA by writer Brandon Barrows and artist Ionic and a horror/crime one-off from writer Alex De-Gruchy and artist Lucas Heneks. It'll be out later this fall, and we'll fill you in on additional details as they're available.

In other news, JACK HAMMER/VOYAGA writer Brandon Barrows was interviewed by Josh Dahl of the Rapid City Interview Series. Brandon talks about origins and inspirations for JACK HAMMER as well as his creative process. Check it out here http://monolithllc.com/rapidcity/2011/08/rapid-city-interview-series-brandon-barrows/

And just in case you haven't noticed, our sci-fi anthology SCIENCE! was released August 31st. You can get it in print HERE or digitally HERE, including a 5-page preview of the digital version. The first three issues of REASONABLY PRICED COMICS are also now available on Graphicly for your iPad, iPhone or other digital device for $0.99 each. If you aren't familiar, it's a pretty slick interface! Check it out HERE.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

SCIENCE! #1 is out August 31st and we've just gotten the first advanced review in!

Geoff Arbuckle of A Comic Book Blog had this, among other things, to say:

"More than simply decent stories with nice art...the stories are fresh and...it definitely kept things interesting."

Thanks for the great review and your continued support, Geoff! You can head over and read the review in its entirety for yourself here http://acomicbookblog.com/2011/08/science-1-review/

In other news, below is a sneak peak of the uncolored cover to Reasonably Priced Comics #4 featuring Kidthulhu by Jason Stephens! Just imagine how awesome it'll look in color!

Michael Roberts has been a very supportive of RPC since our inception and he's been kind enough to review our most recent offering.

The "money quote":

The anthology series Reasonably Priced Comics continues to be on of the best looking small-press indie anthologies out there. With three issues now available to the public, RPC has solidified itself as an anthology that delivers quality material. And, trust me, I’ve read quite a few small-press books, and consistent quality is no easy feat.

Thanks for the kind words, Michael! We really appreciate it.

You can read Michael's review yourself here http://mwr.me/2011/08/10/review-reasonably-priced-comics-3/ and be sure to check out Michael's web comic "Next Door"!

The first review of Reasonably Priced Comics #3 is in and it's outstanding!

Geoff Arbuckle of A Comic Book Blog had this to say, among many other things:

"A couple really strong genre stories from Barrows with great art from both Ionic and Panganiban. Kidthulhu is just an endearing character that I want to see more of when he gets his own series."

He gave the book an overall score of 100%! Thanks for your support, Geoff! You can read Geoff's review for yourself (WARNING: SPOILERS!) here http://acomicbookblog.com/2011/07/reasonably-priced-comics-3-review/

And if you haven't picked up RPC#3 yourself, you can head over to our store and get in print or digital!

Hi, everybody, just a short update today.

Submissions have been closed for our new sci-fi anthology SCIENCE! We have five great stories, totaling nearly fifty pages, of science fiction that we are very pleased with. We're tentatively scheduling the book for an August release, but we'll firm that up shortly.

If you'd like to submit a short story to us, we're always looking at submissions for our regular anthology so feel free to check out the submissions page and send us your best stuff.

A new review of JACK HAMMER: POLITICAL SCIENCE #1 by a reader who just discovered us was recently published, as well. You can check out what John Lees had to say about the book for yourself by going here. From the sound of things, though, it seems like he's a new fan! Thank you for the kind words, John and we're happy you enjoyed the book.

Quick update folks, since it's been awhile!

First, if you haven't seen it, we have prints available of Ionic's beautiful painting of Dean Kirkland (hero of VOYAGA) exploring the jungle of the 31st century that appeared on the cover of Reasonably Priced Comics #2. We've had a few people asking if we'd be offering prints so we figured we'd give the people what they want! You can find the print by following the link to our store or go directly to it here.

Next up, a sneak peak of Ionic's newest painting! The cover for Reasonably Priced Comics #3 is below! RPC#3 features the first installment of WESTERN ADDITION, Brandon Barrows's (writer of JACK HAMMER and VOYAGA) new western series with artist Leandro Paganiban (ANIMAL CONTROL: SCU, DEAD FUTURE). You'll agree he's outdone himself once again!

Finally, we are still looking for a few submissions for our sci-fi anthology SCIENCE! If you're looking to have some of your work published and have a story you think fits what we're looking for, please send it over! We're always happy to look at submissions for Reasonably Priced Comics, as well so please check out our submissions page for details or here to check out the guidelines for SCIENCE!
