THE GOD MACHINE is out TODAY!!! YES! After waiting… i dunno how long, it came out a WEEK early!
Go forth! Go get it at a comic shop! [or order it.]
About those who ordered from DCBS: I’d check with them when they ship things. You may have to wait a little bit to receive your copy. [I know! I'm sorry. :( ]

Reposting my good buddy Nick Tapalansky’s [of the super sexy comic, Awakening] latest blog, an Open Letter to Comic Retailers!:
Awakening Graphic Novel
OUR TOP STORY…
So, the book is out – now what? Now, oh loyal readers, we need to keep the momentum going. Reviews and interviews are abound but now we need to show comic shops that there’s good reason for them to carry the book in their stores! Below is an open letter to comic retailers which I emailed out to all the shop contacts I could gather online. What we need YOU to do is repost this on blogs and message boards, Twitter a link, send up a smoke signal – get this info to your local shop to help them sell the book. That doesn’t mean you should go in and ask for ten copies of the book to be ordered, that’s not what this is about. This is about spreading the word about the book and giving retailers the ammunition they need to confidently recommend and sell the book to their customers.
Let’s do this thing! Zombie Noir for everybody! Tweet and repost pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

You only have one week left to order The God Machine!!! Ask your local comic book shop to order it, or get it over at DCBS
Remember it’s VERY important, [and it'll always be important] to PRE-ORDER THE GOD MACHINE with your local comic shop! It informs my publisher there is a need for my book [you know, so they keep me on for later books etc.] and also informs Diamond Distributors that it’s something they want to keep solicited. It also tells them how many books to print, and also if you order through your comic shop they’ll ACTUALLY have it there!!! Remember kids, I have an indy book, and comic shops don’t naturally pick up these titles because they are more riskier to sell than say your Marvels and DCs. If you don’t do this now, or for future books, there might not be a GOD MACHINE at your store. [this applies to all indy comics btw.]
It’s a hard industry, and there is a reason why a lot of titles don’t make it. It’s really up to you guys to be proactive! [I know, I'm not much of a proactive person myself.. it sucks!]
AUGUST 31st is your deadline!! Go order THE GOD MACHINE: Preview!!!!
**********
Dragon*con is FASTLY approaching!! Sept 4-7th in Atlanta, GA.
I’ll have prints, mini comics, commissions, stickers and other goodies! If there is a particular piece you’d like to see as a print, please tell me! [my gallery for choices]
I can’t wait to see you guys!!
