FREE MARS is available for pre-order!

Journal Entry: Thu May 10, 2012, 7:57 PM
Dear watchers and watcherettes...

I apologise for the rather long silence and absence from these parts, but I've been caught up in deadline after deadline on several projects and long overdue commissions that needed some immediate attention. FREE MARS being one of these.

Last week, after an excruciating frenzy of inks/colors, I finished the last pages of the novel. It's been a hell of a ride and I hope it only gets better after its release at this year's SDCC. In the meantime, if you're so inclined, the novel is available for pre-order at these fine locations:

You can also tell your local comic-book store to order it through Diamond's May PREVIEWS. As Dave wrote in one of his latest blog posts over at the website, "we're on page four and 244 (full solicitation), I'm told. You can give the comic book guy (worst character ever) this: Diamond Code: MAY120825. Now, I'm not gonna get all sentimental, but if you've enjoyed the work Nic and I have been doing for almost two years now, this is the way to show your appreciation (I sound like a WTTW pledge drive person). Seriously, the future of 'Free Mars' is by no means certain and this is your chance to help us keep the comic going.  Pre-ordering the book will ensure that we can continue the adventures of Vikki, Sam, and Vexx, but also potentially give us the opportunity to tell more 'Free Mars' tales, including stories focusing on Hannah Valerus and Damien Kessler.

So again, if you've been a fan, now is the time to show it."

Indeed now is the time to show how loyal you're to the Revolution, my friends. The novel is going to be awesome and a real collector's item; featuring all of the work we've done so far, as well as some very special material and exclusive pages.

I hope to be able to poke my head around here more often, and as soon as I can share more of the projects I'm tied to, I will.

Nic.-

As a side note, if you've been enjoying what Dave and I have done with FREE MARS or if you're a fan of the old pulp serials, like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, do check my latest Gallery addition and give us your opinion. If favorable, you may see Dave and myself tackle a sci-fi pulp story soon: [link]

After FREE MARS, Dave Pauwels and I are developing a sci-fi pulp tale ( [link] ); sounds interesting...?

No, you're not dreaming, haha! I'm flattered by your words, mate. You truly deserve it; that illustration's got a lot of atmosphere and well-placed lighting. Excellent work!

I know you're a busy man and all, but when you get back to doing that fan art you do so well, particularly Warhammer 40,000. There's been one "historical" figure that I've noticed is missing from your collection ever sense you did that awesome piece for the Imperial Guard.

That figure is Ollanius Pius (or according to the new fluff Ollanius Perrson), Saint of the Imperial Guard who stood between Horus and the Emperor and died to buy time for the Emperor to save us all.

Again, just an idea I thought I'd share.
