Hey Guys,
Just a quick note to let you know I've posted the 3-page preview of QUANTUM #2 on the website. Now you can steer all of your friends over there to show them the current greatness.

Issue #2's just about in the can, and should be going to Brenner on Friday. With the creative shake-ups that occurred this time around, this issue almost didn't happen. I've subsequently come to think of ish #2 as the "issue from Hell," but I do feel it's better than ish #1. The story is finally starting to unfold, and I can finally get to some plot and character development.
I'm sorry Ozzy and Mauricio decided they couldn't play ball. I just wish they would have at least kissed me before they decided to fuck me.
I'm not bitter or anything.
Maybe someday I'll elaborate, but not today. Just a lesson that I'm in an artistic business, and sometimes artists can be flaky. I'm just glad I got it out of the way early in the game.
The good news is that I've found a true team of professionals to take the book to a better place from here. My personal thanks to James, Supriya, Robert, and Meg for sticking with me and believing in the mission.
Just you wait. The fun is just beginning.

Hey all,
Just popping of a quick line. Yesterday, James Rodriguez and I hopped on a Chinese charter bus and headed to the Philadelphia Comic Convention. The folks over there were nice enough to have a table at the last minute. Anyway, it was a really positive event. We appeared with fellow comic book luminaries Vince Argondezzi (Next Man) and Rudy Nebres (Wonder Woman, Vampirella). It was great getting the word out on the street about QUANTUM, and I'm going to try to make it to every con I can on the Eastern Seaboard. So keep your eyes peeled. Many thanks to Derek Woywood for allowing Dreamchilde Press to represent.
I've started the QUANTUM: Rock of Ages forum at Yahoo Groups. Go here to join:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quantumcomic
As far as the book goes, I need help with three things:
1) I need letters for the letter column. If you have seen QUANTUM
#1 and wish to be heard, please submit a thread. By doing so,
you grant Dreamchilde Press permission to use your comments
in the letter column. So step up and let us know what you think!
2) For a limited time, I am offering free ad space to retailers and
fellow comic professionals and publishers in the back of the
book. Ad deadline is Friday, January 23rd for issue #2 which hits
stands in February. To all of you who have shown your support,
this is my way to hopefully repay you.
3) I am constantly looking for FAN ART and pin-ups for future
issues. The rules are simple: just go to the QUANTUM: Rock of
Ages website, pick one of the seven main characters, and put
them in an action-packed pinup.
I know that even a great comic book is nothing without its fans,
so I hope each and every one of you will consider helping me
raise the profile of QUANTUM and Dreamchilde Press.
Oh, almost forgot. I want to welcome ROBERT ASHCRAFT to the QUANTUM team. Unfortunately, Mauricio Mandara can't make the time to stick with the project, so Robert has been cool enough to swoop in and finish issue #2. He'll also be on for at least the next two books. This guy seriously knows his stuff, and I know you all will be wowed by his style.
QUANTUM: Rock of Ages is available through Diamond Comics Distribution, FM Distribution, and Cold Cut Distribution. Tell your local retailer to order their copies NOW!

Happy New Year, Y'all.
We have a new review over at The Fourth Rail:
http://www.thefourthrail.com/reviews/snapjudgments/122903/quantumrockofages1.shtml
Now that the holidays have wound down, I'm really looking forward to kicking off a brand new year. It's funny how sometimes just a turn of the clock will herald new and great things in one's life. Things are progressing well with QUANTUM so far. Issue #2 is nearly in the can, and Issue #3 is being penciled as we speak. James Rodriguez has really taken hold of Nick and company, and I must say I think his work is leaps and bounds beyond what was previous. James brings a great sense of perspective and proportion to every panel he draws, and he has really been a true professional and a delight to work with.
Well, that's my real quick blurb for now. I want to thank everyone who has supported this project from the get-go. And hey, I need mail for the letter column. So if you've picked up a copy of the book and you liked it, please drop me a line. Wouldn't it be fun to get your letter printed in the back of a comic book?
Anyway, that's all for now. I'll touch base later in the week with more updates.
Peace,
PC
