So, you may have noticed that the New Book Day blog has been M.I.A. for the last couple of weeks. This might have even concerned you a bit, it might not have. Well, the reason for the blog’s absence is really quite simple.

I got behind on the comic.

While I have worked out something like a schedule in order to get you guys three comics a week, keeping the blog updated took more time than I anticipated. Some of my other writing work has taken a hit also and it has really bothered me.

So, time to stand back, reassess and regroup.

First, New Book Day will continue three times a week updates. It seems more and more of you are enjoying the adventures of Diego and company and for that I am incredibly grateful. Without you, this whole exercise is pretty much pointless.

Next, the blog; starting this week, Thursdays will be for my comic book review of the week. It will be shorter than the Longbox Diving pieces I’ve been writing and should therefore be easier to get done. Plus you get to read my opinions about current comics on the stands. I know, you feel blessed.

Speaking of Longbox Diving, I’m going to move that to Saturdays. Yes, I know popular opinion is that no one checks out the internet on weekends. That may have used to be true, but I really don’t think that is the case anymore with smartphones and the like. Longbox Diving will be posted every other Saturday or so, until I can get some columns backed up.

Tuesdays will still be for me to plug my other writing and give you guys updates about the comic. I have some really exciting things planned for the near future that I think you may like. Or you’ll hate it, I’m not really sure.

So there you have it; a new plan for the NBD blog. And new comics every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the occasional Twitter update. Enjoy and thanks for reading!
