Hey, Kid — Wanna Buy a Nine?
I think most of us are better at promoting other people’s work than we are our own.
[As I compose this post, Claude is systematically assembling every dog bed and toy in the house in a pile by the door. I'm not sure if he's trying to keep the zombies out or packing his things.]
I have zero discomfort singing the praises of CASANOVA or PLANETARY or RENT GIRL (or even IRON FIST, which I didn’t think would particularly be my thing, despite the talent involved. I was wrong. In fact, thus far I like each issue better than the last. I read Issue #4 yesterday and it was awesome! Looove the Crane Mother. And I seriously can’t wait for the Pirate Queen issue) but I don’t do much to push my own books. I mean, for one thing, I’m skeptical of my own ability to change the numbers and for another… it’s an awfully vulnerable position to put yourself in, isn’t it?
Anyway, I just had a look at 30 Days of Night: Eben & Stella, Issue #2 and… here’s the thing: I really like it. I want you to buy it. I feel pretty good about Issue #1 — and well, #1 is a good place to start, but #2? Well, I’m excited about #2. So there you go. I said it.
If you like vampires and cyberpunks and kittens, and, well, me, Justin and/or Steve, you should buy this book.
Issue #1 is out in May, #2 in June. Mark your calendar or pre-order or whatever, okay?


Consider it pre-ordered. I added it to my pull list last week. Can’t wait!
From what little I know about this, I freakin’ KNOW it’s gonna be killer. Honest, kid…I can’t wait.
[...] I have seen #2, and part of #3. Seriously, this is pretty fucking awesome. Kelly Sue knocks it out of the park. Much like the Detroit Tigers (who are #3 on my list of teams who I will be rooting for this year). [...]
i’m definitely in, i love 30 days of night…
