You’re my only hope!
Chapter 227: New book, new exclusives, no new hope...
A preview!
Some exclusives!
Some very small dancers!
Hi. Me again.
Two different people messaged me to ask if we could show previews for the book in the old newsletter which, if I’m being honest, made me feel real dumb. That’s comics 101. So I had other stuff to talk about but I figured I’d throw this on here too.
In the meantime, my new book comes out in a few hours and I’m pretty proud of it. If you’re going to the comic shop tomorrow, and you should (YOU’LL DO BAD THINGS, BITTER ROOT, HUSH 2, ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER, FREE FOR ALL, and so many more cool books) consider buying a copy. It would mean a lot to all of us.
And if you’re in one of these places consider coming to hang out with Tyler and I this month!
And a gentle reminder that we’re looking for questions from you all for the podcast. Comment here or IdeasDon’tBleedPod@gmail.com and maybe we’ll read your question on the air and not make fun of you.
We’ll give you a little taste now but if you want more you’ll have to go to your local comic shop.
We also have a little last minute thing to share. Both Tyler and I wanted to put some limited edition stuff up in our webstore for the folks who like this kind of thing. They’re pretty limited and we’ll have a few signed copies available too. Behold!
YOU’LL DO BAD THINGS #1 exclusive cover by Tyler Boss. Limited to 200 copies. Tyler wanted to be better than me since I price all our variants at $20 so this one is only $19.99! Savings!
WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US #1 connecting foil variant by Stefano Landini. This will be part of a set of all 6 covers so grab #1 now or you’ll miss out when the rest drop. And yes, this picture doesn’t really convey it but it’s foil and shiny. Ooooh. Jokes on Tyler because I set the prices so my book is $19.98!
And, while you’re here figure I’d unveil our exclusive cover for WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE? vol. 4. We have exclusive colors for each volume. This one is limited to 100 copies and comes with a signed bookplate from Tyler and I. So pretty and only $15.00! We still have some copies of the first 3 exclusive collections too if you missed any of it.
Me to Tyler this month-
That’s it for me.
Stay safe. Take care of each other. Buy my book I guess?

What a first issue! Genuinely don't know where the next issue will go from here after that ending! I think the balance of humor and darkness plus verbose dialog and some silliness really works. Give my regards to your artist Steffano (?) Landini. I look forward to a seeing Rook get his ass got or learn his tragic backstory. Or both 🤷♂️
Issue acquired!!! I’m so excited for this!
