I thought about it after the fact and realized I really didn't give it the weight it deserved. The changes to these order numbers WILL KILL comics publishers. Hopefully not your favorite one, but somebodies favorite one will be killed. To try and put a point on this, I decided to talk to some smaller publishers who may be effected by this. And with some luck, I hope to get a comment from Diamond Comics, as well. We'll find out tomorrow morning. But for today, we have Dan Vado, Publisher of SLG Publishing. They put out a lot of great comics. Follow the link and find out for yourself.

Another one of my favourite type of episodes, an interview. This time around I sit down with Mark Sable, Dave Roth, and PJ Holden, and talk about their upcoming book Fearless.

August 28th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - This November GROUNDED's Mark Sable, 2000 AD's P.J. Holden and industry newcomer David Roth reinvent what it means to be a man without fear with FEARLESS, an all-new full color four-issue miniseries. "If you're going to do a superhero book these days you really need to do something unique," says Mark Sable. "FEARLESS is far from typical. The lead is a literal man without fear, as behind the mask he's paralyzed with a crippling anxiety disorder, but an anti-fear drug enables him to fight the war on crime. A life of dependency crashes down when his supply runs completely dry. What comes next is the crux of the series." Sable is best known for his work on the critically-acclaimed GROUNDED and artist P.J. Holden is revered for his work on 2000 AD, while co-writer David Roth has a background in film and television. However, the itch to work in comics has been a long time coming. David Roth explains, "This has been an amazing experience. Working with people as talented as Mark and PJ in this new medium has been a creative windfall. From inception to execution, it seems like every idea becomes a possibility, while this unprecedented level of control over the process has been both rewarding and educational. I couldn't be happier with the results of our collaboration on FEARLESS." FEARLESS #1 (SEP071951), a 32-page full color four-issue miniseries with a cover price of $2.99, will be available for order in the September issue of Previews and will go on sale November 7th.
