Honestly, it was a combination of my computer going completely batcrap crazy and a serious case of temporary burnout. Turns out I had committed to writing way more that I should have on Geekadelphia and some other projects that I had in the pipeline. As a result, I let my buffer of finished comics run dry, burned myself out and missed updates.
The good news is that I have cleared the decks, so to speak, and can now focus on New Book Day and try to do a better job of not taking on more than I can handle when it comes to writing. My priority is this comic (as it should be) and creating the best, funniest strips you ever read.
So, what’s the plan for 2012? Here’s a short rundown of what you can expect (hopefully).
The New Book Day Free Comic Book Day Special
On the first Saturday of May every year, comic book stores across the country give away free comics to the masses. This year, I’ve taken some of my favorite comics, put them together in an actual comic book and am going to give it away. The book will be available at both Brave New Worlds locations in the Philadelphia area and possibly on this site, if there is any interest.
The First New Book Day Annual
On the heels of that, I’m going to be putting out the first New Book Day collection. It will collect all the comics from 2010 and 2011, plus some new material and other stuff. I plan on debuting it at Wizard World Philadelphia in June and it will also be available on this site.
The New Book Day Podcast
I have been toying with the idea of doing a podcast for a while now. It would essentially be me talking about comic books, webcomics and the like. I’m still debating whether this is something that would work, so I’ll keep you updated.
There you have it. As things move along, I’ll let you know and I hope you all continue to enjoy New Book Day. See you tomorrow!
