Resolving to NEVER ship books again though. Man I hate the post office...glad people are getting their books though!

Got two more batches. Sorry, things have been a little nuts. Everything will be out by the end of the week.

An update to people waiting on packages--

The remaining packages will all be mailed by the end of the week. I'll post one final post on here to note they're all out. You should be getting them next week, or if for some reason mail is slower (I'm sending them all PRIORITY) the week after that.

Please refrain from emailing/messaging me directly if possible . I'm sorry it took a bit, but my post office in NYC really sucks and ran out of boxes.

Best,

Frank

Just a heads up--

Been shipping this week. About halfway through! Should be wrapped up by Monday and everyone should be getting their books in the next two weeks.

Thanks for your patience, guys! Forgot what an endeavor this was.

An update for those who ordered books from me--

The books showed up on my doorstep this morning. I'll be shipping them out all through next week. I have everyone's individual contact and will email you tracking, etc. as they go out. I figured it was easier to do a blanket statement here for the update, though!

Thanks for your patience!

Best,

Frank

Will be shipping in the next week. The FedEX at the con was an absolute nightmare, so had to ship the books home for those who are waiting. I'll be individually emailing out as I get them out--sorry for the wait! Very soon though And thank you all for the support!

The #1 reprint was 7,000 and the #2 reprint was 5,000. A lot of those were sold via initial orders, but I think you can still get them from Diamond. Ask a shop.

There was a good crowd this morning, but was a little cost prohibitive for casual consumers

Officially out. I held about 20 copies to put out on the boards.

Hey guys,

I've got some sets left. First come first serve. Send me a message and I'll get it to you!

Here we go! So very VERY happy to announce we've been optioned for TV.. We're in active development and hope for a pilot in the fall!!

Man, you guys snagged some GREAT OA!

Just an update--sets will be on sale FRIDAY at my Image Comics singing. As stated, they are $150 and I am limiting to 1 per person.

Our "announcement" is going to be on THURSDAY. Apologies for the secrecy and teasing, but I'll be sure to break the news here as soon as it's out!

Thanks, guys!

Best,

Frank

It's gonna be A.M. Sorry, typo.

There's a good chance I might hold a few sets for the signing at Felix's table as well. I added it to my signing schedule here:

The sets are going to be $150. I'll do one final post about them this week and show the final cover.

Hey guys, Here's my signing schedule for SDCC. I will be selling the Five Ghosts set during my Image signing on Friday.

http://fjbarb.tumblr.com/post/92147795945/sdcc-signing-times-schedule

Announcement will be this week! Hoping Monday or Tuesday, but could be Thursday...I'll keep everyone accurately appraised ; ).

Here's what a lot of you have been waiting for. Our new SDCC set:

There will be a SIXTH book that we're not gonna show until SDCC. I know, more fun. It has Fabian and all five ghosts. The issues are 7-12, all of the Lost Coastlines arc.

The same as last year--THERE WILL ONLY BE 50 SETS.

Also, keep your eyes and ears peeled for some big Five Ghosts news before the show. I'll tell you all more when I can.

Best,

Frank

There were 2000 of the Phantom Variant as well (in addition to the 13K of the standard cover)

First issue, first printing was printed just shy of 13K.

There will be more to announce soon : )

I'll certainly find something cool to do for NYCC. Will be releasing issue #13 just before, so we'll get something just as limited!

A few things of note:

Firstly, we have confirmed that we'll have a new set of books for SDCC this year. It'll be a set of 6 (the Lost Coastlines issues) and once again limited to fifty. More details as we get closer to the show.

Second, thank you for everyone who continues to read the book monthly. It's no easy endeavor to keep an ongoing series from relatively unknown creators alive in such a competitive marketplace. We will be pushing ahead with issue #13 in October, and here's the cover. The new arc is called MONSTERS & MEN.

Thanks!

Frank

Guys, please be cool on my secret identity. You don't know who's listening on these boards...

In other news, check out FG #12 today! Really psyched with how the arc wrapped up and Chris and Lauren did some monster work.

Getting in touch with them ASAP! Sorry for the holdup, I was in Denmark.
