Posted by: Stacey on December 14, 2004 4:23 PMI'm totally going to get my local shop here to order your book. And then I'm going to read it.
How awesome is that? I'm very soon going to want to talk to you about how you did it all.
Also, Adam Kubert was at my shop on Saturday. I nearly fainted when I got to shake his hand. I'm such a geek.

Posted by: Karl on December 15, 2004 9:49 AMThank you all for the kind comments (even Karl).
This is one of the most exciting things to happen to me yet, and I'm really excited to see what happens when this thing actually comes out. It's still a long road between here and September, but I'll keep everyone posted on what's happening.
How 'bout that artwork?

That's one sweet phrase, my friend.
Congrats, and lookin' forward to September.
Posted by: Stu on December 15, 2004 1:16 PMSo it's a fraternity of superheroes? They could probably have some crazy shit going on as far as hazing goes.
Posted by: jankowski on December 15, 2004 2:20 PMHazing, eh? Interesting idea.
Just cause you're all so nice, here's the teaser info for issue 1.
Hero House # 1 (of 4): Join the world’s first super-powered college fraternity! College is college for super-powered young adults – they party, sleep through classes and get shot down by girls like the rest of us. But in order to band together to learn what it takes to be the heroes of tomorrow, they join Epsilon Epsilon Psi and move in to Hero House! Nate Hedges was the star of his high school as a teen hero, but at college he’s a nobody. So when he’s tapped to go undercover to investigate the Eps, will he find the super-powered hazing that the administration fears, or a place where he finally belongs?

Posted by: Deuce on December 18, 2004 8:18 PMCongratulations, Justin. You deserve every bit of success you're getting. I will buy your comic book, and when pompous law students ask, "Is that a comic book you're reading?" I will punch them in the nose. Just for you, Justin. Because you deserve success and other people's getting punched in the nose.
