Well, two new series, actually, as I can now confirm that ORPHANS OF
MARS will be launching in July after receiving some rather positive
feedback[*] re: their debut story in the pages of JOURNEY INTO... #
12.

[*-- Read: My wife really enjoyed it, and has been loudly demanding
more on a daily basis.]

But coming much sooner-- assuming, of course, I can finish it by the
Friday deadline!-- will be the first new ongoing Eightfold series to
ever spin directly out of a High Concept Challenge[*]-- no Journey
Into... style try-out this time around.

It's going to be a nifty, short-form, lighthearted take on super-
heroics; I don't want to spoil any of the surprises I have in store
for you, so I'm not going to give you much more than that, and the
following ASCII tease:

. |||||||||| .
. EIGHTFOLD COMICS GROUP |||||||||| .
. PRESENTS |||||||||| .
. | | .
. FEATHERWEIGHT # 1 |||||||||||||| .
. JUNE 2010 | O /\ O | .
. |\ / \ /| MY LANGUAGE .
. \ / HAS NO WORD .
. \____/ FOR GOODBYE .


And no, this whole post isn't merely an excuse to make sure my logo
comes out correctly. Why, I never! :-)

[*-- Thanks, Dave!]

It looks insane and pointless! But that's because I'm using a porportional
font for some reason. What's with me? In a real man's font, it looks
neat!

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, and eyebrow-y.

Thank you for the encouragement, Andrew.

Oops; that's supposed to be the brim of a tophat.

No, but seriously, there's two new Eightfold series coming.

(Kicks self for missing that contest deadline.)
