Stuart Immonen:
"The art is remarkable -- very accomplished, with inventive, uncluttered layouts and sophisticated character designs."

Chuck Dixon:
"An exciting synthesis of manga and more traditional western-style storytelling. Loads of action and some intriguing mysteries tightly woven into a fast paced story that asks a lot of questions I hope will be answered in upcoming issues. It's a gutsy move; dropping us cold into a violent universe of half-human monsters and utopian cityscapes. But rather than confusing me, this initial story makes me ask for MORE!"

Congratulations! Those are some quality pull-quotes, and from the myspace page, the book looks good, too. I'll be picking up a copy (buying, even).

That's awesome! Congratulations, Steve!

Hey, VERY cool. Congrats on that. Put 'em on the trade!

Very cool! Congratulations!!

Good grief, that looks fantastic. I'll be picking this one up.

Wow. Compliments from a couple of guys worth getting compliments from. Good on ya!

Oh and by the way, from what I've seen so far, I am definitely going to be picking this up.

Congrats

Sweet endorsements, Steve. Looking forward to seeing the book.

Thanks!!

If you really want to help Strongarm succeed, head over to your local shop and add it to your pull list. This will enable the retailer to do what's called an Advance Reorder, thus bumping up the print run beforehand, and ensuring that we stick around for the long haul!

The artist's name, by the way, is Dave Ahn. He did a bunch of stuff for Udon back in the day. If you remember that kick-ass Taskmaster redesign and miniseries, he had a hand in that. He also did some Agent-X with Gail Simone and Vampi for Harris Comics. He even did an Avengelyne miniseries for Liefeld! Marvel and DC are going to be smashing his door down any day now.

Hopefully mine, too, since those are my words he's turning into pitchers!

Here's hoping things go good for you, Steve. Definitely a good start. Overwhelming praise from a couple of talented folks sure can't hurt.

I hope so too! It all depends on these initial orders.

By the way, keep checking the MySpace blog over the next couple weeks - subscribe even - cause there will be all kinds of neat sketches and other crap posted on there. Stuff you might see in a deluxe hardcover edition, hint hint Image!
