I wish you all could take a look at Book 2 right now. There’s just SOOO much extra stuff, and some of it is so cool that I hate not to be able to show it to you guys. That’s why I decided to give you the little preview above! It comes from the 4 page story at the back of the book.
Know, I know what you guys are thinking. “Psh, sure. Extra stuff you say… I’ve seen comics that promise lots of extra stuff, and it’s all just old sketches and stuff.” Well, you’d be wrong!! When I say extra content, I really, really mean it. Lemme do a quick count here…. There’s 9 brand new strips (that’s almost an entire month’s worth of strips!), lots of artist’s commentary, sketches, and the all-new 4 page that picks up where Chapter 9 ends off!
Oh, and if that wasn’t cool enough, it’s also TWICE as long as Book 1. And, if you get your copy now, it’s also only a few dollars more than Book 1!! I may be biased here, but I think that you’d be very silly indeed to wait to get your copy.
Preorders of the book are available now, and the book itself will be available in March. Just click on the picture of the book, or go to the store page to get yours now!!
Hey everyone!! Christmas is past, and we’re already well settled into the New Year. It’s still hard to believe that it’s 2010 already!! Where did the ‘00’s’ go? What will the future bring? (There’s only 11 years until Goblinization Day, after all!)
As some of you know, 2009 was an up-and-down sort of year for me. I went to lots of cons, met a bunch of you awesome folks, and started up Moosehead Stew. My career as a webcomic artist is just starting to take off!
But, if you’ve been following my Twitter and blog posts, then you also know that I lost not one but TWO jobs to downsizing this year. (Woo, recession…) Some people might take that as a bit of a blow, but I decided just to roll with it. And that means, trying to make a living through my comics!
So what can you do to help out? Lots!!
- The main thing you can do to help is to spread the word about the comic!! Dig, Reddit, Slashdot, Facebook, Twitter… These are all great ways to get new people hooked on the comic! There’s even a handy “Share This Comic” button just below the comic – look for the word balloon to the lower right of today’s strip!
- Got a local gaming store/comic book shop/other geek hangout? HERE is a handy flier that you can print out and post up wherever geeks congregate. (Think of it like a low-tech linking system!) And, as an added bonus, you’ll get geek cred for introducing folks to your favourite geeky comic.
- Check out the new merchandise in the new Weregeek store – We’ve got new merchandise, including dice earrings, button sets, and a new t-shirt design! More things will be added throughout the year, and let me tell you, there is some cool stuff coming your way!
- Preorder Weregeek: Volume 2! Production is well underway on Weregeek: Volume 2 –Creatures of the Night, and I’m hoping to get it off to press by February and have it back and ready to ship by March. So, beat the rush and pre-order your copy now!
Tonight’s UStream is over, but I just wanted to let you all know that’ll I’ll be doing this every Sunday in the New Year! It’s a great way to see how I go about making the comics, since you can watch me color the next week’s Weregeek strips live.
If you haven’t already registered for an account on UStream, I recommend you do so that you can join us in the chat. (It’s free, and only takes a few seconds to sign up.) Then, you can chat with the rest of us about games, geek culture, and ask me questions!
And, if you joined us in the UStream this week, thanks for stopping by! It was a ton of fun chatting with you guys! See you on Jan. 3rd!
Hey everyone!!! Just a quick heads up – were down to the final few books in the Limited Edition book sale, so if you want your sketched copy of Volume 1, you’d better get yours now!! We’re not reprinting this limited run, so after they’re gone, they’re gone!
And, just for anyone who was wondering what’s up with the dark and spooky storyline, we’re celebrating Halloween here at Weregeek!! Halloween’s the best time of year for LARPers, because not only do we get to re-wear our coolest costumes, but the post-Halloween sales are a great time to stock up on cool makeup for the next year!!
So, sit back, turn down the lights, and get scared. We’ve got more spooky goodness comin’ up!!
Hey everyone!!
