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!
 
 
It's rapidly starting to look and feel like summer around here and the convention season is coming up on us faster than ever, it seems!

We have two creators attending conventions this weekend:

Martin Brandt, writer of Laces (featured in RPC#1) and Kidthulhu (cover feature of RPC#4) will be at Annapolis Comic-Con at the Moyer Rec Center in Annapolis, Maryland Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th. He'll have copies of RPC#1, 3 and 4 along with copies of his Grim Crew Comics books (Dead Future and Grim Furry Tales).

Brandon Barrows, writer of Voyaga, will be at the Vermont Small Press & Comic Expo right in our backyard at the Winooski Downtown Center in Winooski, Vermont this Saturday the 24th. He'll have copies of Reasonably Priced Comics #1-4, SCIENCE! and a selection of books from other publishers.

Next month sees the release of Reasonably Priced Comics #5, featuring the final chapter of Book 1 of Voyaga, a one-off superhero comedy from Alex De-Gruchy called "The Perfect Moment" and the cover-featured continuation of Laces in a new story arc called "Dead Don't Talk". Below is the fantastic cover new Laces artist Martinho Abreu did for the new story!
More details soon!
 
 
A Comic Book Blog has sent over their review of Reasonably Priced Comics #4, the very first to date!

As always, they were very supportive and we sure appreciate it!

You can see what Geoff Arbuckle had to say about the book here: http://acomicbookblog.com/2011/11/reasonably-priced-comics-4-review/ .

Thanks, Geoff!
 
 
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!

Picture
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/

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"!
 
 
It's come to our attention that our banner ads are getting an unusual number of multi-clicks from individual users and, while we're sure this was done with the best of intentions, we have to ask whoever is responsible to please cease. This comes from the advertising provider as it screws with their tracking and reporting.

Again, we're sure it wasn't done with anything but good will, but please cut it out.

Thanks!
