    Congratulations to all. Here’s hoping for massive sell-outs, and in to season 2!

    I was in BORDERS this morning looking for anything by First Second…no luck! Are they not carrying your books?

    I’ve called around everywhere, and it seems like none of your books are available in the Bay Area. I look forward to when they are not only released, but ready for capture!

    I’m really forward to seeing these books. Best of luck – I hope these rock everyone’s world!
