Hi All:

We currently are in production of this year’s popular variant issue for Comic Con International. The cover for the issue will feature the cast of Joss Whedon’s new movie, Serenity, and Don Norton’s feature story will shed light on the new movie and card series from Inkworks.

Similar to the three previous Comic Con variant issues, Inkworks will be handling the bulk of the distribution. Copies will be on sale at the Inkworks exhibit at Comic Con as well as through some of their retailers. We’ll be holding a few copies back for those of you who are not able to make the show. We’d prefer that you buy the issue from Inkworks or a retailer at the show but realize that this is not in the cards for many of you. So that end, we’ll be pre-selling our small quantity beginning late next week through the NSU Store. Copies will not ship until Comic Con has ended in mid-July.

The two versions of the Aug/Sep issue will be identical inside. The differences, however, are the covers and promotional cards. The variant issue will have the special Serenity cover and one exclusive FOIL serenity card available nowhere else. The regular issue has Frankenstein on the cover and four different promotional cards. Only 2005 copies of the variant issue (and promo card) will be available wordwide.

I wanted to give everyone a sneak peak of the beautiful Serenity card that Inkworks has supplied. I hope to post an image of the cover sometime early next week.

Enjoy!
