In Maps & Legends - Issue #3
Issue #3 (of 9) of IN MAPS & LEGENDS was released just last week!
And to celebrate, we're holding a CONTEST! Just send in (LJ, FB, Twitter, email, tumblr...) a pic of an IM&L issue on your computer/ereader/phone and you could win my art for a page of your choice, or one of the novels Mike's written.
This issue is somewhat special.
A year ago to the day of this release, writer Mike Jasper and I found out IN MAPS & LEGENDS had won-- with all of YOUR votes and support!-- the November DC Comics Zuda competition. And then this spring, we launched on the Zuda site, updating a page a week, standard webcomic style... but the imprint was closed only a month or two later, and the majority of the Zuda titles were canceled. It was kinda Not Fun. But we got our rights back and figured we were crazy enough to go at this alone.
The Zuda schedule operated in "seasons" of 60 pages. With the 8 competition pages, that left just 52: one page a week for a year.
Well, IN MAPS & LEGENDS issue 3 brings us to the end of that symbolic first season, with the same firey cliffhanger. And we're half a year ahead of schedule! And hoping to have the final, 9th issue out by this time next year. That would feel great.
So yes. Take a look-see at IN MAPS & LEGENDS issue 3! (or even issue 1, if you haven't had a chance yet, I won't judge. Just a little.) Each issue is 22 pages for $.99. Comics is good. Comics is great. Comics is back-breaking labor and here I am wearing a wrist-brace hoping you'll buy 'em for a dollar and tell me what you think.
While her friends - along with an unexpected ally - face attackers from the sky, Kait devises a harsh solution to constantly being torn between worlds. But will this new and dying world hold together long enough for Kait to return?
We're on both Kindle and Nook (in both English and German!), or you can read it on the web or download a PDF. And, of course, we're still on Comixology and other iPhone (or Android phone! or Windows phone!) apps. I know some of you guys must have some of these fancy devices with their touch screens and their e-ink and... yeah, I don't either. That's why it's also on the web & PDF format. ;|
And then enter the contest when you're done. :D
And thanks again for your support, and posting about it everywhere and peer-pressuring your friends and spamming your facebooks. I wouldn't have managed if it weren't for you guys.
