    Yup, I can believe it. Comics are having a hard time anyway, and books NOT being published by the Big Two can easily get ignored. I'd love to see the comic catch on, though, so the shops would have to go to "re-orders" (can you be re-ordering if you didn't order in the first place?).

    There are lots of online comic sellers (most of which offer pretty substantial discounts, considerably lower than cover price). I believe you can also buy individual issues from Top Cow. If all else fails, I'll pick one up at my LCS (as Top Cow doesn't usually send me contributor copies) and mail it to you. Take that, Bendis!
  3. Newsarama just posted an interview with me about TG. Check it out!

    Click me baby, one more time

    Oops.

    I'd suggest every power by accompanied by "Buy the Twilight Guardian mini-series, coming in January from Top Cow!"

    It shows that your hero is a caring individual, as he's going to send the villains to jail, but he's suggesting some reading matter that will make it almost worth the trip...
  5. It may sound dumb, but I quite literally stop and salute Cyrus every time I use that train station. I get a little misty-eyed, too.

    We should have an ego-off. Loser writes the winner's biography.

    More like Meatloaf and Charles Manson, but close...

    It'll be a fantastic bootleg, too, indistiguishable from the real thing.

    And you only call me "idol" because I look just like Adam Lambert.

    If he really let himself go.
  10. CoH's own Amber Love just posted an interview with me about Twilight Guardian, comics, and a bunch of other goofiness. Check it out here.

    Sure. You can download it from www.kisstroyhickmansbackside.com
  12. For those of you who do "the Facebook," I've helped Twilight Guardian start her own fan page there. Read her journal entries, ask her questions, submit your fan art, check out her Crimestopper Tips, and become a member of the Midnight Squad! Now get going before it gets dark and she has to leave...

    Time to go
  13. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

    Now, time to insert a meat thermometer in the turkey without buying it dinner first...

    I wouldn't have it any other way.

    All right, Ms. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up...

    Maybe we can get Fillion for the TG movie they're supposedly making...
  17. In case you're interested (if not, go about your business, citizen), here's the cover for Twilight Guardian #2, which will be solicited in the new Previews:


  18. And I will accept the nomination and seconding, assuming that I get to kiss some babies during the campaign.

    When you read Twilight Guardian #2 in February, you'll see how close to the truth you are.

    I've become close to a lot of the RLSH people in the last couple of years, by the way, mainly BECAUSE of TG, and they actually do a lot of good. Because it's rare that they're around when a crime occurs, they tend to do a lot of public service stuff like giving food and toiletries to the homeless, walking women to their cars, helping stranded motorists, etc.

    Or maybe not, if there's like eleventy-billion Twilight FB pages out there...
    I wonder if there's any crossover audience from sparkly vampires to Twilight Guardian...

    I've never heard of that. I'll look into it.
  22. So I'm looking for some good ways to promote the comic cheaply. Anyone have any ideas?

    Fried chicken drizzled with honey.

    You heard me right. Honey on fried chicken. The sweet of the honey is oh so good of a counterpoint to the salty and greasy of the chicken. The trick is not too much, such that the chicken becomes sticky, but rather just enough so that you get some with a bite.
    This is why fried chicken is so often eaten with biscuits and honey.

    You know, you can make some tasty sandwiches with waffles...
