Hi all! Well… it’s about that time. A little less than a year after winning Small Press Idol with Faction and several months after kicking into high gear with several projects, I’m proud to announce presales for two books ~ Faction issue 1 and Citizens issue 1.
We’re offering things a number of different ways this time around to appeal to the collectors out there, including a special exclusive cover to the Citizens you can only get otherwise if you go to SDCC this year. Basically, though, the options are: For Faction, issue 1 by itself and issues 0 and 1 bundled AND for Citizens, issue 1 by itself, issue 1 bundled with the exclusive variant (limited to 300), and issue 1 bundled with the variant and a print of the two covers combined (limited to 50). All details below…
As mentioned, these are presales, so they won’t ship until after SDCC in later July. Also, keep in mind that the exclusives are VERY limited.
Our goal here is to sell 500 copies of Faction issue 1 and 500 copies of Citizens issue 1 in the presale. I know it sounds like a lot, but we managed to sell 500 Faction 0’s last year! If you’re interested in knowing how we’re doing on that goal or want to know if you can help other ways, please let me know!
Below are some descriptions of what we’re offering, but you can see a summary of all of them at http://www.dimestoredistro.com/spa-comics-291/carpet-bomb-comics-343/. Also, for each book, you can always read more at the Faction site ~ http://www.carpetbombcomics.com/faction ~ and the Citizens site ~ http://www.carpetbombcomics.com/citizens.
