Update #11: Gone to press!

Posted on June 16, 2011

We've sent the final files to the printer for The Power Within, and we will have copies finished by the end of next month for Comic-Con in San Diego! Rewards will start going out to pledges at the start of August. I can't wait to share the book with you!

Here's our first piece of fan art, from Portland, OR artist Terry Blas, the creator of the webcomic Briar Hollow!

Update #8: The final hour!

Posted on May 20, 2011

I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who's pledged their support to this project. With your help, we've gotten enough pledges to completely pay for the printing of the book, above and beyond the portion that we were aiming for. Mark and I are so overwhelmed and touched that you believe in the project.

I've talked to my contact at Diamond Distributors and he let me know that the book will be solicited in July's PREVIEWS catalog, so it will be available in comic book stores across North America, the UK and Europe this Fall.

I've launched a website, ThePowerWithin.org, with a link for youth services organizations to request free copies of the book. If you have suggestions of organizations in your area that might want free copies, please let us know! We want to get these out there where they'll do the most good.

Again, thank you so very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
