OUR TOP STORIES...
HOLY SHIT IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING!
Got yer attention? GOOD! Because Awakening Volume One has just
arrived in the states from the printer and should be hitting Diamond's
warehouse tomorrow! That means if we're lucky, the books will be
hitting stores next Wednesday or, at the absolute very latest, on July
22nd. Get ready, kids.
And for all you California natives or intrepid travelers heading out
that way in, oh I don't know, two weeks or so, be sure to get your
books and head on over to the San Diego Convention center to say hello.
Don't panic, ye of little faithers who might not have pre-ordered -
we'll have copies at the show too.
Those of you who want to take advantage of Amazon's sweet discounting, though, can still do so of course!

AWAKENING IN THE PRESS...
Check out the newest issue of Rue Morgue (July - #91) for a full-page interview/preview (page 50, "Blood in Four Colors") of Awakening
Volume One! It's just hit newsstands last week so be sure to net your
copy (not just because of us - it's one of the best horror mags around
with an eye towards culture and quality some other gore mags lack).
And in case you missed my ecstatic update last week, check out our sweet trailer for Volume One on the ol' YouTube:
Or, if you prefer, hit the direct link (with embed code for all your interweb plastering needs) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qJQB68NkP0
Big thanks to all our pals who've posted this puppy up for the world to
see. Spreading the word about a new book these days ain't easy and
everybody's help and support is HUGELY appreciated.
Last, though certainly not least, I'm happy to announce the launch of NickTapalansky.com!
While some of it is still a work in progress, the site is up and mostly
operational. It was designed by the illustrious Kate "Monster" Glasheen
(http://www.katiecrimespree.com), the illustrator of Archaia's Hybrid Bastards!. Check her out, check the site out (http://www.nicktapalansky.com), and check YOU out. Wrrd.
Not familiar with Awakening? Unsure still what it's even about?
Check out a sweet preview/interview and an exclusive preview of the
full first chapter of Awakening Volume One, supplemental material and
all! Get over CBR STAT!

OUR TOP STORIES...
Thanks to everybody who stopped by the table at Wizard World Philly this past weekend! Thanks to you, we SOLD OUT OF AWAKENING VOLUME ONE
AT THE SHOW! Wooo! We've finally arrived and Alex and I are PUMPED!!
It's been a looooong wait but we've made it. Thanks to everyone for
your support so far and we can't wait for the metric ton of you guys
out there who couldn't make it to the show to get your copies.
For those of you who didn't get a copy, this weekend don't fret. It's coming...
But that leads to top story number two. Brace yourselves, kids...
There's been a SLIGHT delay in shipping.
I know, I know, ARRRRRGH I know. It sucks. Everybody did
everything they could but, somehow, the book just didn't get out and on
the way in time to make this Wednesday. They're in transit now and, to
be on the safe side, have a street date of 7/29. There's a very good
chance, however, that it'll get to Diamond sooner and, therefore, shops
sooner as it'll ship as soon as it arrives.
Hang tight, I promise it's coming. It's a real book as Philly can
attest, it's been printed, and it's on the way. We've waited this long,
right? Believe me, when you see it you'll agree - it's been worth the
wait. Maybe I'm partial, but whatever - it's a freakin' gorgeous book.
This means there's still time to pre-order, of course...
http://www.amazon.com/Awakening-One-Nick-Tapalansky/dp/1932386483/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242403586&sr=1-1
As always, your friendly neighborhood Barnes & Noble is able to pre-order for you too.
AWAKENING IN THE PRESS...
This past weekend I had the great (surprise) pleasure of moderating not
one but TWO panels at Wizard World Philly. One was a "How to
Self-Publish" panel ("But Nick, you've never self-published before..."
More on that in a bit) and the other was the "Archaia Returns" panel,
which was covered by your favorite comic gal and mine, Jill "The Nerdy
Bird" Pantozzi (Twitter - @TheNerdyBird) and Chris "Needs A Clever
Nickname" Mautner. You can check out the coverage and see my name
re-printed way too many times (I talk a lot...) here -
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21688
and here - http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21705
And in case you missed it, a sweet preview/interview and an exclusive preview of the full first chapter of Awakening Volume One, supplemental material and all! Get over CBR STAT!
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21437
And then there's this kick-ass little nugget about the new Archaia/Jim Henson Studio partnership (!!!) -
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21700
And though not press related per se, if you're sick of waiting for me
to update on ye ole weekly blog here, check out @AwakeningComic on
Twitter for up to the minute updates as they roll in!
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE PANEL...
So due to traffic, business stuff (publishers are a busy people) and a
wedding, your pal and mine Mark Smylie (publisher at Archaia, creator
of Artesia, and all 'round swell guy) didn't make most of the
show this weekend. As a result, his two panels became mine. Yikes! Now,
the Archaia one wasn't much of a worry since I'm pretty up to date on
the comings and goings there (plus Mark was able to make the back third
of that one). His second panel, however, was another matter entirely:
"How to Self-Publish with Mark Smylie."
I've never self-published. I've thought about it, considered it
actively before hooking up with Archaia, and did a bit of research, but
I've never actually done it, let alone successfully.
Luckily I've got friends who have, and four of us were able to equal one Mark Smylie.
Thanks to Dave Rodriguez (writer of Archaia's Starkweather: Immortal and the immensely popular webcomic Shadowgirls - http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com - and all 'round great guy), Mark Holmes (of www.enigmaworks.net and one of my best pals) and Kensuke Okabayashi (manga artist extrodinaire - http://www.kensukeokabayashi.blogspot.com/
-), for helping me pull that panel together. We might not have the
experience Mark has, but we were able to give a pretty full room a fun
show and talk about what we DID know - some of the pitfalls in
publishing and self-publishing, the advent of the web comic, creative
collaboration, and self-promotion. It started off a bit rocky (my
biggest lesson learned? Don't lead with a bondage joke when you've just
told the room the guy they're expecting isn't coming. Who knew?) but we
were treated to a lively Q&A with the audience and left to a
roomful of applause. Not bad at all!

LOCAL SIGHTINGS INCLUDE...
Before we get to the con schedule (which has been amended slightly, no
Otakon this year, so take note), I'd like to pause for a moment and say
thank you to all the convention goers at all these wide and varied
comic-cons we do, just for being you. Over Memorial Day weekend I got
to attend my first ever anime convention. And, while Jackie (http://volatile-tifa.deviantart.com) was hard at work...
I was behind the table with my jaw on the ground. Why?
This, folks, is a Mifa. It's a
man-Tifa (Final Fantasy VII) I can honestly say I'd never even
contemplated a Mifa before, let alone imagined I'd see one.
I love my job.
Other notable cross-dressers include Mikku (man-Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2):
And Meach (man-Peach from Mario):
Some personal faves that I caught through the weekend included a nurse from Silent Hill:
The Thunderkittens:
Darkwing Duck (!!):
Dan (from Street Fighter):
And this guy:
The back reads "Seriously. Freaks."
Love it.
Below is a listing of our upcoming convention and panel appearances - more to be added as they're booked.
PRE-RELEASE! (No hardcover, no Alex - just my smiling face supporting my lovely and talented fiance, Jackie Santiago)

That's right folks, you too can now know every shit and sniffle Team Awakening takes thanks to the 140-character messages of Twitter!
http://twitter.com/awakeningcomic
Come follow us on our ridiculous adventures in making comics, keep abreast of our every whim, and (ha! I said aBREAST!) make merry with us.
Now you can say "But moooom, all my friends are doing it!" and mean it!
And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention yet again that Volume One is available for pre-order at Amazon.com at 32% off! That makes the book a scant $13.57, impossible to pass up (and if you sleep on this discount, you might just find a certain Mr. Eckman-Lawn sitting on your bed in the darkness of night, sucking your breath out as your dreams fade and your heart slows. Save yourself!).

Turns out I'm all out of exciting for the present, though the coming weeks are going to be some doozies. Maybe another light news week or two and then BAM!

AWAKENING IN THE PRESS...
Recently, those crazy guys behind Archaia's Some New Kind of Slaughter (also out this June!) and The Lone and Level Sands put together a lovely roundtable discussion regarding the return of Archaia. This love-in has since found a home on The Pulse, where you'll find the comments and musings of madmen (including yours truly and Alex). Find out more about Mark Smylie's morning routine, Josh Finney's shady black market organ farm, and see Marv Mann use the word lassitude in a sentence. Direct link below:

See you later this week, kids!
We love you.

A bit of a short one today, lads and ladies, as we continue onward. Steady as she goes!
OUR TOP STORY...
It's all official - Archaia is back in action! Check out the interview with PJ Bicket, Mark Smylie, and Steve Christy about the re-launch this June and what's in store for the coming year...

Give it a read and get excited, people - we're coming...
IN OTHER NEWS...
Haha! Honestly there isn't much else to report right now. We've got a ton of interviews and reviews on the way in the coming weeks, a badass something-I-can't-mention-yet, and a listing of all our confirmed convention/signing appearances for the rest of the year. I'm thinking next week or the week after should be more eventful so stick around!
SOME LAST MINUTE REMINDERS...
If you haven't already pre-ordered the book, do it now! Get to da choppa! Currently there are two ways you can do this:
- Print out the pre-order coupon below and bring it to your local comic shop to guarantee your copy this June!
- Go to DCBS and order the book through them at 45% off to get yourself an exclusive signed art print! The direct link for Awakening is http://www.dcbservice.com/product.aspx?id=303661#dt.
The print is below, if you're curious...
And maaaaybe you want to add a little something to that order - I'd recommend Perhapanauts: Triangle personally - only $8.99 at DCBS, which means you get both books AND the exclusive signed Awakening art print for the regular cover price of Awakening Volume One! How can you pass that up?!
We love you.
