Off to see the wizard…

Apologies to residents of Seattle that might be sick of people equating their local comic con, The Emerald City Con, with the Wizard of Oz. What can I say? I couldn’t resist. It’s tough coming up with the titles for these entries. We are off to the Emerald City Con this weekend. I’ve never been to this con before but have always heard good things about it. I do like visiting Seattle, so I have a feeling this will be pretty fun. We’ll be debuting From Here to There #1 there. Yes, we’ve decided to start numbering the series with the second issue. There’s a couple of different reasons. First, I stupidly forgot to put a number on the first issue. Second, we didn’t solicit the first issue through Diamond, but hope to do so with this issue (despite their new sales minimums…ever optimistic, huh?) and I’ve heard a rumor that #1 issues tend tell sell better than #2, especially when very few people knew that there was a #1 issue . And third, if Marvel and DC can do weird re-numbering things with their books; we can to! If you can’t make it to the Emerald City Con, but live in the Pacific Northwest, you’ll have another chance to say “hi” to us at the Stumptown Comicsfest in the wonderful city of Portland, OR. That’s only a few short weeks away, the weekend of April 18th. In other news, The Layfield Incident is currently being colored by the talented Ray Long and should be out in June. The plan is  to debut our charming little zombie story at Heroes Con which is Father’s Day weekend, June 19-21, 2009. That is supposed to be a really great con as well, and I can’t wait. Brian is going to have to handle the booth by himself for a little while so I can go and meet one of my all-time favorite artist, Guy Davis.
