Hey all,

So we had a mix-up with Comixology on Free Comic Book Day and issue #1 of Chris Roberson's and my new Oni Press series THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGERS -- it was never released.  But don't fret.  Available as of today on Comixology is the FCBD  version of #1!  Please enjoy the link and an Oni Press sponsored FCBD 2.0!

MYSTERIOIUS STRANGERS, FCBD and the release of issue #1 and #2...

Hey all,

So, Saturday May 4 was the big day!  My latest series, THE STRANGERS, with writer Chris Roberson was released.  The wonderful and supportive folks at ONI PRESS offered-up issue #1 to readers for FREE.  I've heard back from colleagues and fans and the response has been overwhelmingly positive!  Hazzuh!

Now that everyone has gotten a taste of Roberson's and my 60s Supernatural SpyFi we very much hope you, fans and readers, high-tail it to your local comic book shop and let those fine folks know you want issue #2 ordered ASAP.  Your PREVIEWS order #MAY131215.

Issue #1 will be re-released the same month as #2 and I want everyone ordering to know the skinny.  The FCBD issue had a stand alone cover.  The cover to the regular edition #1 will look like this:

While #2 will look like this:

From the outset Chris planned to work this series in a 2-issue plot format.  Meaning, #2 will resolve the story set out in #1.  #4 will resolve #3, and so-on.  Being the entrepreneur he is, Chris suggested we connect both covers to further highlight the format of the book. 

Thus, the covers to issues #1 and #2!

It's a little added incentive to all you cats and kittens to give our creator-owned book from ONI PRESS a whirl!  I was informed by a few friends, colleagues and fans their local comic shop did not have the FCBD version of the STRANGERS, so please, ensure you let your Shopkeep know you want these ordered.  Creator-owned books depend on early fan response and pre-orders really mean a lot.  If your retailer knows there is an appetite for the book, they may give us another look and have a few more copies on hand.

And, please, link or copy this post on your own forums, we would love to have your support on this series.  After all, I love it, and I really want to share with all-of-you-all!    

Thanks all, you're SWELL

ONI PRESS: THE STRANGERS -- Comic Book Therapy Interview...

Me talking!  Out loud.  About my new series with Chris Roberson, THE STRANGERS.  The word I forgot was 'discharge.'  Obviously.

FCBD ONI PRESS: THE STRANGERS...

Alright, panty-waists, May 4th is Free Comic Book Day.  ISSUE #1 of my new ONI PRESS series with writer Chris Roberson THE STRANGERS will be available from your local comic shops.  You'll need to pick it up.  It's very good.  Promise.

ps not the final cover, but you get the idea!

the STRANGERS advert....

Man, ONI PRESS sure has a wealth of talent at their office.  I love the hell out of this ad.  Very 1960s.  Special note:  Robin Herrera (Associate Editor on the book) dreamed-up the tag.  So good!

ps Yeah, that's the MARK WAID endorsing our book.  Bananas.

ONI PRESS STRANGERS preview from CBR...

Found out CBR previewed the FCBD version of the STRANGERS last week ( http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=15319 ).  Visit the link or enjoy below:

the STRANGERS: ONI PRESS FCBD...

2013 is shaping up to be a terrific year!  Announced with all the other Free Comic Book Day titles last month was my upcoming series with [pause for effect] CHRIS ROBERSON!  I know, I know, I don't get it either.  I mean, IZombie, Memorial, MASKS, Edison Rex -- I'm in pretty good company.  Please, ensure to mention it to your local retailer.  Creator-owned relies heavily upon PRE-ORDERS and this rip-roaring new series is well worth your time.  And, hey, it's free! I'm having an absolute blast with it.  More artwork soon!

And the description:

W) Chris Roberson (A/CA) Scott Kowalchuk
"The last thing you want to see is my hands." They're called The Strangers. They're deadly. Dangerous. And you'll never see them unless they want you to. But now they've come up against something big — U.S. government big; a cover-up of international proportions. And at the center of it all is The Strangers' deadliest foe, a man known only as “Capricorn”; a man who knows The Strangers…. sees them.
