LOL awesome2 AWESOMER… that’s classic. Hehe, what can I say, it’s just… awesome!
Sweet cover Jeff! You’ve captured so much in a really simple image. It always amazes me how much MOVEMENT you can capture in a single, still image!

What’s that? Can someone tell me? I’m not from the US so I’m kind of not updated with every comic. IS it a comic? It looks pretty cool… or should I say aweosme? Heh, what a bad joke. Anyway that cover that Jeff drew looks pretty cool. What’s it about?

Hah, that is such a neat cover.
It’s an anthology, meaning that a group of writer/artists contributed their work/stories into the book. Indie is short for independent (like Jeff Smith, among others).
If its anything like the Flight books I’ll check it out.

Jeff I love your books and so do my friends. We almost burnt our eyes out while reading them I was the first one in my class to finish the the series I want to start reading your new book RASL. Why did you only make ten Bone books they were all so great? Smiley is my favorite character how did you come up with him?
#1 Bone fan Alex. Bone rocks is a fact not an opinion
