It's official: Reasonably Priced Comics #3 is out July 27th.

If you've been living in a cave, Reasonably Priced Comics is our quarterly anthology spanning the range of comic genres. Basically, it's got something for everyone!

In issue three we present:

VOYAGA, part III - "Identity" by Brandon Barrows and Ionic. Dean Kirkland thought he was alone in the savage, decaying hulk of the world of the 31st century, but when he finds other humans will it turn out to be a blessing or a curse?

KIDTHULHU - "Fetch" by Martin Brandt II & Jason Stephens. Everyone's favorite adorable Elder Horror comes to the pages of Reasonably Priced Comics! All Kid wants to do is spend some quality time with his pet, but does anything ever work out the way its planned?

WESTERN ADDITION - "Dinner Guests" by Brandon Barrows and Leandro Panganiban. A preview of an all-new western series! Guests can be a pain when they're invited, but barging in at dinner time is just so rude!

All this and an incredible WESTERN ADDITION cover by Ionic!

B&W interior, 24 pages, $2.50

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!

It's still a few months off, but we're so excited we had to share!

Pages for the strips scheduled to run in Reasonably Priced Comics #3 have been coming in and we thought you folks would enjoy a little sneak preview of two brand new series debuting in the issue.

Folks were getting all excited watching the Oscars last night, but not us. No time! (Or interest, but I digress.) It's an exciting week for us, as we're sending Reasonably Priced Comics #2 to the printers this week.

RPC #2 features the second installment of VOYAGA by Brandon Barrows (writer of our critically-acclaimed and award-nominated series JACK HAMMER) and new series artist Ionic (artist on JACK HAMMER and cover artist for all our publications to date); MY WAY, a sci-fi story about alien gangsters and the pay day of a lifetime by Alex De-Gruchy and Robert Durham (writer/artist of several CAVEWOMAN one-shots, among other things); and THE COMMUNICATORS, a decades and generation-spanning slice-of-life with a twist story by newcomers Michael E. Nichols and Joshua Calloway. We're very pleased with the issue and we know you will be, too! The scheduled release date is April 6th, so check back here for availability or ask your local comic shop to order it for you.

We're also working on RPC #3, which features the third installment of VOYAGA; a brand new KIDTHULHU short by RPC alumnus Martin Brandt (DEAD FUTURE, STITCHWORK) and Jason Stephens; and a brand new series set in the post-Civil War American West called WESTERN ADDITION by Brandon Barrows and artist Leandro Paganiban (ANIMAL CONTROL: SPECIAL CREATURES UNIT). Right now, we're looking at a mid-to-late June release but we'll keep you updated when we've set the final date.

We're also beginning to put together RPC #4. So far, it contains the fourth installment of VOYAGA, closing out book one, but we're still looking at submissions to fill out the rest of the issue. We've gotten several great submission pieces in the last couple weeks, but don't hesitate to send yours in if you've got a story you'd like us to consider. Please refer to the submissions page for details on how.

Have a great week folks! We will be!
