Hi All

Well we're not sure but according to the last contact we had from Diamond UK BritForce should be in Previews UK this week for shipping in December, so if you haven't ordered a copy go and ask your local comic shop to get some in!

Been working on issue 2 again - redrawing the odd panel and sprucing others up, its coming along well with an aimed release at Bristol next year.

Other stuff been watching Bones s 4 which I can thoroughly recommend, the interaction between the characters is great and what really makes the show - though the first two episodes were based in the UK and everyone spoke with a plumb in their mouths or broad cockney, quite surprising for such an inteligent series to decend to the usual trite charicatures. But thats easily forgiven.

Cheers

Hi All

Well, back from a weekend at BICs and back to reality. Pretty tired but had a great time. I was on the Moonface Press Table with Andy Winter selling and chatting with the passing trade and visitors. We did pretty well over the weekend and speaking for myself, BritForce sold more than I had hoped which was a bonus plus plenty of positive comments.

Saturday was pretty busy with a steady stream of people coming, looking, chatting and buying. Socialising at these events is always a great part of it and I met some cool people who I really enjoyed chatting to and would especially like to thank Andy’s friends for making me feel so welcome in the evening when we went for a meal. We went to a Handmade Burger Restaurant then on to a rock pub and I had a great time.

Sunday was a late start for me and was a quieter day, as you would expect but still trade was steady and plenty more chatting. Until the show wound up

All in all I had a great time, tiring sure, but equally inspiring and energising and it was great to hang with Andy on the table and admire his ability to sell and sum up BritForce in a perfect sound bite – I paraphrase – “British super heroes who team up to battle a sect of religious zealots led by a man who believes he is the Messiah”

Cheers
