This weekend (Sep 3-5) I will be set up at Fan Expo Boston in Artist Alley, Table A600! And next weekend (Sep 10-12), I will be set up at ConnectiCon in Artists Colony, Table AC-244!
These will be my first comic conventions since the pandemic, and I currently do not have any more on the schedule. I’ll be curious to see how they go. It’s very exciting to be able to get the series back out in front of people, especially with Volume 3 now in the works, but it’s still a bit nerve-wracking to be doing a big event. But I am vaccinated, everyone will be masked, and I’ll be hosing down everyone who approaches my table with a Super Soaker filled with sanitizer. So we should be all good to go.
RUNNERS Volume 1 is part of the Small Press Starter Sale starting today on comiXology! The sale runs through 5/27/21, and you can get the first book for half-price (just $4.99). And as always, you can read the entire series on comiXology for free with their Unlimited subscription.
Please keep helping to spread the word about the series, and be sure to check out some of the other great Small Press offerings!
It’s been on my to-do list for waaaaaaayy too long, but I’ve FINALLY created an entry for the series at Top Web Comics! You can now vote for RUNNERS every day (or as often as you care too) and hopefully it’ll help me get more readers over time.
On Top Web Comics, you can vote for as many series as you like, but you can only vote for the same series once per day. You can vote from as many different computers as you have each day though. And you do NOT need to have an account to vote, which is nice. You will just need to do their version of a captcha, which is super easy.
I have added a permanent TWC button on the top right of this site that will take you directly to the RUNNERS voting page. Please feel free to throw the series a vote whenever you remember to.
SUPER EXCITING DAY! After over a year of work, yesterday I finally uploaded RUNNERS Volume 3, Chapter 1 pages to RunnersUniverse and scheduled them to post. It’s looking like an April 20 launch date! Woot!!
I still have much to do, like adding all the page-by-page commentary, formatting the same pages for Webtoon as well, and prepping all the Patreon bonus content, including all the sketchbook pages with design commentary. I also have all of Chapter 2 to upload while I start working on pages for Chapter 3.
But I am so excited to finally start getting the new stuff out there! Thanks, everyone, for being so patient thus far, and feel free to help spread the word about the launch of the new RUNNERS story!!
Sorry for the radio silence here, but between Patreon, Instagram, and the Runners Facebook Fan Page, I sometime forget to also post here. Argh. But that will change once the new series actually starts posting here! Anyway, onto news…
I now have some new RUNNERS goodies in the form of stickers and bonus character cards. The die-cut ship/logo sticker and the character sticker sheet will be available at conventions (once I start doing them again) and will be added to my store as well. They will also be FREE for Patreon backers based on reward tier.
I also did 2 new character cards for aliens that didn’t make it into the respective Vol 1 and Vol 2 card sets originally. These will be Patreon exclusives and FREE for all U.S. backers.
The image above also shows some toned-paper commissions I did last Fall as surprise Patreon rewards. These are really fun and I may consider adding commissions to my online store at some point.
Volume 3 update!!
I am now done with Chapter 2 of Volume 3! Woot! I originally wanted to start posting once I had Chapter 1 completely done. But I still had some kinks in the production process that needed ironing out before I felt comfortable with the amount of buffer to avoid running out of material as I worked on new pages. With two full chapters done, and those kinks worked out, I am now pretty confident in being able to finally start posting.
The next step will be to start uploading all the finished pages to date (Chapter 1 and 2) to RunnersUniverse, along with the usual page-by-page commentary. I’ll also be formatting the pages for Webtoon and prepping all the upcoming content for Patreon, including penciled and inked pages, as well as sketchbook pages with design commentary.
As of now, I am hoping to actually launch in EARLY APRIL!!! Stay tuned!
