THE CHAOS CONTINUES

As we gear up for Con season, which for me at least involves only the Phoenix Cactus-Con, we're also chugging right along on the Tales of the Thugs side-story. This page is me attempting, and failing, to pull off a Frank Miller. Well, maybe it's not that rotten, but lord know I'm not going to be putting Frank out of business anytime soon.

ISSUE #2 IS AVAILABLE!!! ISSUE #3 is COMING SOON!

Get yer butt on over to INDYPLANET and order up a copy of THUGS #2!

It's hot off the press, or it will be when you order it! I think you save about 50 cents off what we'd charge but then they have to ship it to you so...look, WE'RE not seeing that extra dough, okay? But Indyplanet makes it so easy we don't begrudge 'em any extra dough they take in. With people like them around, there's really no excuse not to make yourself a nice comic. But buy ours first, 'kay?

* * *

www.cheapercomics.com is still your source for a copy of the book at a discount, and I encourage you to pick it up from there. Ed rocks, and hopefully has done right by everyone we've sent his way. You'll be able to get issue #2 from him when it's available.

You can also pick it up at www.indyplanet.com and save a big fat dime off the cover price. Issue #2 should also be available from there.

To those of you who bought the book, and enjoyed it, a hearty thank you. Feel free to drop us a line at thugs@thusgonline.com to let us know what you think.

WHAT I'M READING RIGHT NOW:

Reading the heck out of Exiles and got some new manga in to review. Check out Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit if you want to see a really depressing (but cool) tale of a future we may be headed to sometime down the road.

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW:

This Irish band called The Script. I got one of their tunes for free off iTunes and was hooked but never enough to buy the album. Found the album (CD) for cheap at the ol' used bookstore. The other songs are just as good.

WHAT I'M PLAYING RIGHT NOW:

Just got a new Harvest Moon game called Rune Factory. I love these games...they're farming/dating sims without any of the naughty stuff. They suck a lot of my time away, but I'm resolved to meter out all my time appropriately.

Note: This weekend I didn't do such a good job of that. :)
