Necessary Monsters:



We’re calling the series a spy-horror thriller - if you were to imagine an episode of Mission Impossible staffed entirely by bizarre supernatural mass-murderers you wouldn’t be far from the mark.

The series updates every Monday and Wednesday, with the first six pages of the story already up at the site. Please go to take a look see and, if you like what you read, tell someone else about it. Right now what we need is eyeballs and if those eyeballs could still be attached to their owners, all the better.

Oh, and as you might noticed from the logo on the site, when NM is done it’s going to be an AiT/PlanetLar graphic novel. Until then it’s going to be (I think) the first regularly updating AiT/PlanetLar webcomic. Much kudos to Larry Young for getting behind us whole heartedly in our little web-serialisation-to-print-publication experiment.

The first Necessary Monsters trade paperback is coming out in February from AiT/PlanetLar. The book collects the complete story so far, including updated artwork across all five chapters and a brand new introduction by Kieron Gillen (Phonogram, S.W.O.R.D, Thor). The book is available for pre-order via your local comic shop using Diamond order code DEC09 0641. Alternatively you can purchase via your online retailer of choice – Forbidden Planet in the UK and Amazon in the US seem like good choices.

If you’ve enjoyed reading the series online, myself and Sean would really appreciate you showing that support by ordering a copy of the print edition. Sean needs to eat, and I need to install a new Jacuzzi in my private Helijet. Hell, tell all your friends to order a copy too - Helijet Jazcuzzi’s don’t grow on trees you know.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=2484&Focus=210171#Comment_210171 2009-12-22T18:49:42-08:00 2009-12-22T19:11:17-08:00 meaninglessnoise http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=5880

So what's up with this? I ordered it from Amazon at the beginning of April, and just got a notice that the release date has been pushed back to October.
