POST-INDIEKET 2015 'VERSE POST
Firstly, allow me to thank all you mighty fine folk who came out to yesterday’s Indieket.
To everyone who
stopped by the table to pick up some comics, shoot the sh!t about your thoughts
and reactions to The ‘Verse and Seroks,
or to get your hands on the Tatsulok
compilation (art by the mighty fine Xerx Javier), your presence and support was awesome and greatly appreciated.
Now, we’re
hoping to make an announcement soon regarding availability of the Tatsulok compilation out in the real
world, beyond the borders of the comic convention circuit.
In the meantime
though, please allow me to share with you these little bits.
For anyone who’s
been following any of The ‘Verse titles, you’ll well be aware of the books’
backmatter (the supplementary text pieces in the comics).
Below, you’ll
find a couple of bits excerpted from what I like to think of as “The Septet
Musings.”
Anyone who
followed the Tatsulok singles, or
picked up the compilation yesterday at Indieket, will hopefully be familiar
with The Septet, and will have at least seen one of them in that book, as well
as the “personal assistant” of another. (Who, yes, is the same Alice that makes a brief appearance in Dakila: Lumilim 1, with art by the mighty fine Elmer Cantada, which
also debuted yesterday at Indieket.)
Truthfully
though, The Septet are an active force in The ‘Verse due principally to Ian
Sta. Maria answering my question about the Big Bad he wanted Kadasig to face.
So The Septet
have a dominant role throughout the first 4 volumes of Kadasig. (Yes, there are 3 volumes meant to follow The Skeleton at the Feast. Their titles
are, for the record: The Unraveling, A Kind of Praise, and His Darling Sin. And yes, all the
scripts for all 4 volumes are complete; they were all done before Ian even
started drawing the first page of The
Skeleton at the Feast.)
So what you see
below isn’t just for anyone who might have bought the Tatsulok compilation yesterday, but also to anyone who’s following Kadasig, or any of the other ‘Verse
titles, for that matter (because The Septet pop up in some of the other books
as well).
To the guy who
asked about Kadasig yesterday (and to
everyone else out there who’ve been waiting on it), profuse apologies for the delay.
This isn’t a new
Kadasig issue, but it’s what I can do
for now.
Any good karma
you can send our way to help us grease the wheels and get that particular
engine moving, will be greatly
appreciated.
In the meantime,
please accept a sneak peek at these text pieces (which should worm their way
into the backmatter of one of the upcoming ‘Verse issues that have something to
do with The Septet).
And again, thanx
to all you mighty fine folk for the enthusiasm and support.
Please feel free
to spread the word and the love…
you can’t drink just six,
Dave
