Thing The Forty-Ninth (give or take)...

I figured it was high time I updated my "inner circle" hereabouts as I've been mostly staying the hell away from social media except in the context of promoting The Monitor's Guild. There's an awful lot of steps still to take, between now and the July 4 kickoff date, and I dearly hope this pays off. Some other artists are contributing material, a honest-to-goodness professional pinup model cosplayed as one of my characters, and I've even commissioned a 30-second commercial. I'm now soliciting local comic book stores to carry the title (it's been just about as disappointing on THAT front as it was last year trying to find a publisher).

Some of you might have seen the video on my professional Facebook page where I held the first printed proof in my hands for the first time. I kept a straight face for the camera, but I assure you there were a LOT of emotions winking on and off in that moment:
