RASL no.7 cover art
Just got back from the Retailer Summit in Baltimore on Tuesday where I met and talked with over three hundred comic shop owners and managers from all over North America. Got a lot of great feedback on RASL, which was nice. Above is the art for the cover of #7, which will be in the Diamond catalog for items shipping in Feb. Starting with #7 next year RASL will begin shipping bimonthly. The second collection, RASL 2: The Fire of St. George should drop in April. Amazing color from Steve, huh? Wild!
One surprise for me at the summit was learning that so many comic shops were doing well with the BONE color editions from Scholastic. For some reason, I thought those were mostly being sold into bookstores, schools and libraries, but I heard differently this week! So thank you, retailers, for continuing to support for BONE.
Another happy event last weekend was Terry Moore’s win at the Harveys. ECHO won for best new series! Much deserved! Terry has worked hard to bring that story to life, and we’re all crazy proud of him!
Great job Terry is doing on Echo as well, I love the series. Also I see that Alex Robinson won for Too Cool, which is great. That was by far my favorite book of not only the past year, but the past few years honestly.
Can”t wait for the new Rasls Jeff!

Echo definitely deserved the Harvey; They actually sell it at a local comic shop in the mall, so it’s great to see indie stuff there.
The cover looks fantastic by the way! Very foreshadowing…

Hey, by the way, will there be a post of the cover to RASL #6? There really hasn’t been a nice full picture of it, just suggesting.

This new cover is fantastic! It’s still in the style of the previous covers, but with these colors, it’s truly unlike any of the other covers so far. February is too far away! With this cover, I’m guessing that #7 is going to be a big deal in terms of the story!
