Hello,

At one time or another, you have supported me in my comic book endeavors. I am emailing you to inform you that my Graphic Novel Shadowflame is now available for Pre-Order. I am very excited and want to thank Marty at Bloodstained Productions for having the confidence to take the book on and publish it through his imprint. I have received permission to offer a pre-order at $1 off the regular sale price.

Here is a brief synopsis for those of you who forgot;

Shadowflame 10th Anniversary Special.

Full Color, 144 Pages.

Joe Martino, Peter Palmiotti, Dash Martin, Ian Sokoliwski Naser Subashi, Rick Buckler Jr.and Johnny Lowe

See where it all started in a whole new light and in brilliant color!!! It has been 10 years since Shadowflame has been released in its original 4 issue mini-series. Now Joe Martino is pulling a George Lucas and retooling/revisiting the character that he loves. This is NOT a reprint!!! Joe has personally redrawn 60% of the book with Peter Palmiotti and added over 12 pages of story. This Graphic Novel Boasts 144 pages of full color, non-stop action with additional art and pinups by, Bob Layton, Jon Malin, Andie Tong, Paul Ryan, Rudy Nebres, Jeff Austin, Buzz, Rob Stull, Steven Perkins, Fernando Carvahlo, Rob"Doc Monster"Roman, Darren "RoadKill" Taylor and G.A. "Paradoxx" Perkins.

I have already received a few very nice comments and reviews on the book and I am very happy with the response so far. If you are interested in pre-Ordering Shadowflame you can go to the following link:

Alternatively you can order the book through Diamond or your local comic shop when it is available for $14.99.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you will take a shot and check out Shadowflame. It has been a long time coming.

Don't worry, folks, Greedo still shoots first

Greedo shoots first but he is colored so much better.

Where's the sticky love? Linda? LINDA????

Sticky? Well, we can bump it up until it gets sticky...

I'm here! I'm here! Sheesh! Yo yo yo, up we go for Joe ...

Oh! Lemme post a larger version of the cover here as well:

Thanks Linda.

And everyone else.

This is an awesome looking book! I am SO in!

I don't mean to toot my own horn but I received a copy from the POD printer and I have to say the book looks amazing. It can sit next to any Marvel book and give it a run for it's money.

It came out perfect for me.

Thanks for the support. If any of you are impatient you can buy it from Lulu at the following address. I would rather you pre-order it to save yourself some monsy or go through Diamond at the time it is released but I will give you the option.

Congrats, Joe!

Congrats to you. People really dig the colors!!!

I'm giving this a bump before I unsticky it. According to the other thread, the release is on hold for a while longer.
