A woman holds up a thick hardcover book. Smiling, she addresses her friend! What a nice friendship they seem to have!
READER: I just finished reading HEADSTABBERS: FATHOMS!
FRIEND: Ooh, what'd you think?
READER: I LOVED it. Meiji-era Atlantis was SUCH a cool setting. And the way the writing AUTHENTICALLY felt like a wet manuscript was SO compelling
READER: And of course, I fell in love with Vertebrakz INSTANTLY.
FRIEND: I would GIVE MY LIFE for Vertebrakz. Even if such a sacrifice were completely unnecessary.
READER: So, yeah! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it!
FRIEND: Then you'll be thrilled to learn it's just the START of a 66-BOOK CYCLE!
The Reader is suddenly overwhelmed by this thought, throwing off flop sweat. Nervously, she asks:
READER: W-will you tell me if the rest of them are as good as the first?
FRIEND (eyes narrowed): How DARE you demand the FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
You know you're in for it when they call the series a CYCLE
The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
