Robo Vol 2 TPB on sale this week!

Brian!

Yessir, the collected edition of Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War hits comic shops and book stores this Wednesday. Within its covers ye shall finde: all five issues of Vol 2, all five back up stories, and last year’s 16-page FCBD story in case you missed it or, if you’re like me, just prefer to have a whole series in trade ’cause they look so fine on a shelf. You should buy the damn thing!

In Volume 3 news, I finally finished the fourth issue. There were so many damn obstacles to this thing and only a few of them were from the issue itself. But it’s done and it has the Scott and Lydia seals of approval, so who cares! On the bright side, the fifth and final issue of Volume 3 ought to be way easier and I’m way ahead of schedule anyway. I should probably use this buffer to write some more of those back up stories come to think of it…

If you’re a nerd in Florida, you probably already know that Megacon is next weekend. I might be there? Y’know, in a sitting and signing and selling and smiling capacity. More info on that Monday afternoon. I will be there at the Bad Apple Comics booth. I’ll have some trades for Vol 1 and both issues and trades for Vol 2. See you there.

OR ELSE.

    A little early to ask, but will they're be a volume 3 TPB? I usually just wait for the TPB's to come out instead of ordering individual issues, because of the convenience and coolness.

    Also, Volume 3 is longer, page-wise?

    Are you guys planning to be at WizardWorld Chicago this year? MegaCon's too much of a strain for Mr. Wallet right now, but Chicago I can make.

    We are very confident that Vol 3 will be collected into a trade. The last issue should come out mid- to late-August, so I'd expect the trade to hit in Q4 of 2009.

    I'm not sure what the page count will be for Vol 3, but I suspect it'll be close to Vol 2's which is slightly longer than Vol 1.

    Chicago is absurdly far for both Scott and I, so no. Sorry!

    Y'know, after they asked me how we could get you down here, and how there should be a Robo after party and all that jazz, they've yet to get back to me about any of it. :

    Hot damn, sucks I'm not going to be anywhere near Florida in the foreseeable future. But on that note… do you guys ever plan on making a pilgrimage to the San Diego comic con?

    We did last year. Red 5 should have a bigger and better booth this year. Not sure if Scott and I will make it there or not yet.

    Is there any chance of Red 5 selling signed copies of Robo comics/trades through Diamond for those of us who can never make it to the big cons due to oceans? :)

    Amazon.com has informed me that they don't have any copies in stock and are unable to find them. Is this just a problem on their end or has anyone else who ordered online encountered this?

    We asked our publisher about this the other day. I think it basically meant that they sold out their initial order, but they'll be getting more.

    I just found out about this title today, and wow, it looks *amazing* – just the sort of thing I love! I quickly whipped out my credit card and ordered the first graphic novel. Can't wait to read it. You've already got me hooked by the description of the comic and the rotating images in the banner! Currently digging through this site to find out all I can about it.
