Thanks. We're starting in the middle, as a marketability thing.  The earlier episodes will be flashbacks.

Copies of the first issue (actually a trade paperback with 5 issues as a pilot) are due to release on May 1st, according to our distributor.  Which means Nivek has until March 1st to get all the artwork in the can, so we can zing it off to the printer.

I'm friends with a comic shop. I'ma make sure they carry that shit.

AND I WILL STAMP AROUND THE STORE YELLING AND WAVING IT IN THE AIR AND FROTHING AT THE MOUTH.

And then they'll all just chuckle and go, "Aww, it's so cute how she tries to be scary." :argh!:

I can send 5 copies for consignment, I think.  We'll be setting up an auto-reprint with the printer.

I think this is really cool, and I'll definetly make a purchase, but I have a potentially stupid question. What does MSY mean in terms of graphic novels?

Millions of Screaming Yahoos.  It's a heavily Tuckerized series I wrote here over a 4 year period.

Ahh, ok. I was pretty sure it didn't mean "Maximum Sustainable Yeild."

We'll be printing plenty.

We'll begin taking actual orders in mid-April, for May 1st shipping.

Like I said, I can take orders at Anime Boston if you can send me a sample. I don't know how well they'll do, but I can mock up some sort of order form for you, and stuff the cash into a envelope and send it your way. Also cards, do you guys have business cards?

Not yet, I'm still scrambling to get the S corp together.

How long do I have before this anime thing again?

Sweet. I would of course, need them about a week in advance so I can get my things together. I need to buy new displays actually, because my crates take up more space than needed.

No problem.  The whole mess goes to the printer on March 1st, so getting it to you in time shouldn't be an issue.
