any talks of making this an ongoing?

[ningabe]

Great cover...please be ongoing

[Beige]

Whats it about Ken - lets have the story direct from the creative team. Persuade me to go buy one mate!

[KenKristensen]

And here's the new cover for Issue #1 2nd Printing (which is in stores February 20th). For some reason I can't find any online retailers that have the 2nd printing available for pre-order. Weird...because it has been publicized. See: http://bit.ly/VG1VHF

 

Let me know if you find it online!

 

Meanwhile, PLEASE tell your local CS to make sure they've got it on order -- Diamond code: DEC128159

Welcome glad you could make it. You need to come Midwest or East instead of staying out West there in shops. Maybe St. Louis Con in a few months? Glad you got the FB link.

Andy70,

 

First -- let me just say Australia, I love thee. Can't wait to revisit.

 

TODD is a crime story, an absurdist comedy, a family drama, a superhero story of sorts (hey, he wears a mask and has the power to cloud his own mind!), an unflinching look at the underbelly of American suburbia. It's about the ugliest kid on earth, who is actually the most beautiful kid on the inside, surrounded by ugliness.

 

Description from Image's original press release....

 

This series, a collision of comedy, sex, and violence, follows the misadventures of America's most dysfunctional family as they go head-to-severed head with an Oprah-loving ax murderer, a cult-crazy soap opera star, and a neo-Nazi prison gang.

 

That's what HAPPENS, but what it's ABOUT...identity, perception, loyalty, mendacity, strength, betrayal, trust...survival no matter what the world throws at you.

 

Give issue 2 a shot and let me know what you think here: http://on.fb.me/UfOl0H

This in a nutshell is what I liked about the book.

Ken,

 

Any plans to make this into an ongoing series?

Thanks for the time and effort to respond.

You had me at mendacity......

Will browbeat our rubbish LCS to get an issue or two in!

Kevin76,

 

M.K. and I would love to make TODD an ongoing -- or a series of limited series. Bottom line -- we've got countless TODD stories to tell. It's a real labor love.

 

This interview with PREVIEWSworld explains a bit where we're coming from:

The Beauty of the World's Ugliest Kid

Hey Ken - the Aussie Rules footy season starts soon - if you come down in the next 5 months I will take you to the game and explain the rules!

You pay for the cider, natch (thumbs u

[krighton]

I'd say continue the numbering 5-8 even if you're going mini...quite a few monthlies are so inconsistent they may as well be minis. Minis can sometimes be a bit of a turnoff (no offense).

I hope it happens, I liked the book......a refreshing change from most I am reading now.....keep up the great work!

They will be doing some signings in CA over the next few weeks I think in LA and a couple of other shops. They have a Ugly kid contest at each signing. How tough could it be if you live in the area. Get a paper bag and take your kid. Hell if I lived close I would.
