Hi all!

So The Argus issue #1 promotion is in full swing! The first issue hits stores on March 4th, 2020.

I will be doing an in-store signing at Mississauga (Ontario)’s best comic store, Gotham Central Comics and Collectibles:

And to continue this line of promotion, here are a few sites that ran a sneak peek at issue 1 pages:

Here are some reviews of the first issue – all with the same general tone, that Darryl and I did a pretty great job making this thing!

So next week if you see this cover, make sure you pick it up! We worked incredibly hard on it and I can’t wait for everyone to read it!

Hello all (is that crickets chirping I hear?)

So we’re getting down to crunch time on The Argus #1. Our pre-orders weren’t so hot, so Action Lab has extended the pre-order period to February 10th (so there’s still time!) with an expected release date now of March 4th.

So please, please, please consider placing a pre-order with your local comic store. It’s the only way to guarantee you’ll get a copy, and the more pre-orders we have the better chance the book doesn’t get cancelled by Diamond for not meeting the minimum threshold. If you don’t have a local comic store, you can find online retailers to place your order, like Things From Another World: https://www.tfaw.com/argus-1.html

The order code for Diamond is DEC191319.

Yeah, it’s kinda dire right now. We’re not sure which way things will fall.

Which brings me here, now, today – I want to give you, faithful readers of this blog (however many of you there might be) a look at The Argus, so you can see what we’re talking about, and see all the hard work that Darryl, Action Lab, and I have put into this series. We’re very proud of this work and we want to show it off to the world.

So sit back, strap in, and take a trip through time with a look at The Argus #1.

Trust me, you’ve never seen time travel illustrated in a comic book like this before.

I hope you like what you’ve seen here, and you’re willing to take a chance on a new story, a new comic book in a sea of new comic books. The Argus is our blood, sweat, and tears, and I desperately want you to read it.

DEC191319. Like Leia said, a long time ago – you’re our only hope. Thank you.
