No More Heroes - my debut comic (first half's FREE!)

[GordyM]

Here's a brilliant piece of art Caio's done that shows off Pieces - a nasty SOB who gives Sid a hard time in #2.

Issue 2 is almost ready to go to print. Here's the teaser ad for it:

[Mardroid]

Great. I enjoyed the first issue. I copied it over to my new ereader and it worked pretty well. That's one thing about the stark black and white, it works with ereaders better than colour which - while readable - looks a touch odd.

[WhitBloke]

Excellent news!  Kiddiwink hostages, Jack Slaughter and poor Sid stuck in the wake.  With apologies for that pun.  You and Caio have bought out the sick sod in me; I've been looking forward to seeing that polar bear get some boom.     Unhealthy, maybe.  Damn fun read, definitely.

Anybody reading this who's not picked up #1, a rollicking good opener, then you really, really should.  It's a good 'un.

Gordy, Issue 1 was fantastic and looking forward to the next one.

[GordyM]

Thank you! I'm always genuinely happy when I hear that someone liked our comic. Only for a moment, of course, as I'm a cold-hearted, gruff Scottish SOB who can't show weakness in my clan. Maybe.

I'm also very chuffed to say 3/4s of the limited edition print run of #1 are now gone. I'm amazed to see how well it's done and been received, especially considering it's the first title from a couple of unknowns. I can't give enough thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy.

Anyway, #2 goes to the printers next week. Meanwhile Caio's started #3 and the script for the fourth and final issue will be finished today. Both nervous and excited to see what people make of the ending and the big reveal (just hoping there's no Mass Effect 3-style backlash. I'm changing nothing!).

I'll post up some pages from #2 as soon as I can. Promise!

Here's that pin-up in shiney colours.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Those ARE shiny colours - will you be at any cons, sir?

[GordyM]

I'll definitely be at Glasgow Comic Con and Kapow.

90% sure I'll be at Thought Bubble.

Issue 2 is now available! Full info: http://nomoreheroescomic.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/issue-2-is-here-4-2/

Going to KAPOW this weekend? I'll be at stall 23. Pop by, pick up an issue, please.

Here's a bit of #2:

Screw you, Shako! - No More Heroes #2 kicks your shaggy white arse.
I suspect you're just too polite to further push No More Heroes #2 on this here forum, Gordy, but being a reader and in no way tied to the project I'm not. 

Guys, buy it.  Check out the preview, buy it, enjoy it.  You should, you should, you will.  No surprise seeing it referred to on Bleeding Cool as a sleeper hit.
Never mind the actual plot, which is developing with all the darkly grinning momentum #1 led me to expect after so unique an opening set-up.  Never mind the rest of the art, which is just plain great.
Issue #2 has the best polar bear sequence in it since Shako.  I know we're all expecting some polar bear action with Lenny Zero's upcoming return but... nah... it's going to have to really push the ice-breaker out to beat what NMH manages to deliver in just two pages.  Effing beautiful stuff.
And then there's the whole rest of the issue...  which has me feeling all kinds of cheap about for buying digitally.  Still, if I didn't save money that way how else would I have spare cash to buy beer to spit out while reading this?

Gordon:


I already shouted out on this over on The Other Board We Frequent, but...

Just got this today. Really unsettling work. Digging it greatly.

[Zarjazzer]

Issue 2 arrived this morning. Really good stuff especially the bits in the hell hole bar  even the Mos Eisley cantina looks a bit tame after it.The story's moving along very well and that poor Polar bear!!!

Will pick up number 2, loved number 1.

than pin up is odd, because the arm round whatsisname is well out of proportion.

or have I missed something? I usually do...

You did miss something. It'll be obvious why once you read #2.
