Kurtis Wiebe

Look. I get all this vitriol. I don't know why it's me that gets sole blame here. Panzerfaust IS happening. We had to take a break because there was NO money in it. How was Tyler supposed to support his family on $300 an issue? I'm making the finale happen by funding it myself. I'm committed to finishing that series. Pisces was awful life circumstances. Johnnie lost his father and I was in the middle of a legal battle to get a squatter out of my house in Saskatoon. And Rat Queens has been hell, regardless of its sales. I just need a break from trying to make it work so I can regroup and refocus. As for Bounty. It's the best thing I've written. And five issues will be done before t even comes out. Sometimes I'm to blame, but I've had a very run of luck the past two years.

Keep wishing! Right now it's Wiebe+Tess = success. Issue #12 is already done, meaning for the first time since Issue #2 we will ship two issues a month apart. Roc's got something else cooking up that he is excited about, so you'll see him soon enough!

Eight issues straight from January through to September (well, almost, missed an issue in February) , with Vol.2 coming out next month. Committed to being on time and with Stjepan on board, we'll make it happen. Title Release date Rat Queens #9 March 4 Rat Queens #10 April 8 May June July Rat Queens #11 August 19 ? Stjepan Sejic became seriously ill after finishing issue 10 and had to drop off. Originally we were going to wait until he recovered so he could resume (hence the delay through May and June) but his condition worsened and we told him to rest and we'd find a new team. Which we did, and they took end of June until last week to finish issue #11, with it coming out on August 19th. That's the reality that comic buyers don't seem to understand. If we become sick or face other life problems, there is no one else to pick up the slack. We aren't Marvel or DC where we just fill in with people on the spot. It can take months to recover from an event like that. As for Panzerfaust, Tyler hasn't been able to work on it because he hadn't made money on it in, at the very minimum, six issues. It's hard to commit full time to something when you can't make any money.

Animation wouldn't be done in house.

I agree the events with the artist hurt the momentum and it would seem might have affected it. Our sales have increased. Our pre orders for volume 2 were five times the amount than for volume 1. And that article didn't get the whole context of the conversation. So, that was swell of him to write without asking me any f@cking questions. It has expired, but is in the process of being renewed. Sheesh, you negative Nellie's!

I ran a Rat Queens D&D game with Felicia over the weekend. She played Violet.

Lots of cool things happening on that front. Moving forward a lot quicker than Panzerfaust (which is still happening, I'm told). And I'm being brought on to co-write the pilot for RQ, so that's cool.

It's a new direction, with new art, but the story remains the same. With Stjepan on board, we will have a regular monthly schedule. 8 issues in the next 9 months. Definitely a transition period, but the amount of content coming out this year will be as much as we'd shipped since the series came out. Very excited. Fans won't be disappointed. Promise.
