  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. I ran a Rat Queens D&D game with Felicia over the weekend. She played Violet.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Snippet of Rat Queens #9 by Stjepan Sejic, Also, as of this month, there will be an issue of Rat Queens every month until September. (break in April for the TPB)
  10. Tease for my upcoming sci-fi body horror series with Johnnie Christmas coming out in April.
  11. This is my living and how I support my family. I wish it were that easy. But thanks for the advice.
  12. mmm this one was more of an origin issue. still good stuff though! Wait till you see how it ties into what was established in issue 7. Hooo boy.
  13. Nope. Though Roc will be there. I will not this year. Also, can I post the coloured cover on the Facebook page, whoever originally posted it?
  14. A touch of real life mixed with only two creators on the book. We're doing everything we can to keep this book on time.
  15. Kurtis, are you going to San Diego this year? Nope! My lady is due with our first monster baby August 8th and I'm not traveling for a month before or after that date.
  16. Please don't feel screwed by the people buying your books Kurtis... The day Peter Panzerfaust #1 shipped, I climbed on a soapbox & literally sold hundred of them at cover price or below. I'm thrilled for all those fans that got them. Sure some of the slimey / sharkey CGC guys got multiples, & made straight money. Who cares. Create. Never look back. Look ahead. I was... kidding... I'm always the cantankerous poster. Even when sober!
  17. And just to let you fuhckers know, I took down all my Rat Queens singles from my online store. I ain't repeating past mistakes. Boxes and boxes of first prints and Fiona variants.
