    Looks awesome, as per usual.

    ...I should just stay out of this thread. The fangirling is becoming embarrassing.

    I went to Birmingham, and Jamie's table seemed to be staffed by a skinny eight-year old wielding a potato peeler angrily at people.

    Or maybe it was the combination of 'flu remedy and hangover.

    Shampoo were fucking awesome.

    I'll fight anyone that says otherwise.

    Here's issue 3's cover.



    Hurrah for comics!

    Since I didn't say anything in twitter, that cover is great! :)

    Still looking forward to its release.
    The covers are a nice way to keep the old interest piqued, though.

    Benedictions!

    Warren says we're lovely. We would like to take this moment to reject the rumours that we've kidnapped Lili and will only feed her if he's nice to us.

    I just read the abovenamed comic, by Kieron Gillen
    and Jamie McKelvie. It comes out on or around
    December 10. Make a note. Here, I'm even linking
    you the cover:

    http://www.phonogramcomic.com/blog/?p=97

    Save up your local equivalent of three dollars fifty.
    Because if you don't go out and buy this on or
    around December 10, you essentially fail at comics.
    I've just read this thing and I've got an ache in my
    chest and I'm looking for something to hit because
    the bastard Gillen has outwritten me. Also, McKelvie
    has turned in the art job of his career. This comic
    makes them both Premier Division.

    And to think Jamie did that while playing that much Guitar Hero during issue 1....

    Looks bloody awesome.

    Any possibility that the covers from both volumes will ever be collected into a HC or similar deal?

    Ananzitusq: I'd guess anything would be possible, but it's not something we've even considered.

    Dear Mssrs McKelvie and Gillen,

    You're (both) the ginchiest. (Or, that looks and reads f*cking gorgeous.)

    ...and now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of my natural life. THANKS, FUCKERS.

    But seriously, it's gorgeous and I wants it. If it appears on the 10th, it'll be the best totally unintentional birthday present ever.

    i don't know anything about cool music, but the girl on that last piece of art is cute (i have a thing for girls like that). and i shall support yous guys single issues. It's all about the monthlies!

    It's coming out this week. Woo!

    Er... quick thing. If you haven't actually reserved or pre-ordered a copy of 2.1, you may want to give your shop a call and ask them to keep a copy for you. Pre-orders were less than we were hoping - not terrible or anything, but about the same of the first issue last series. And since the first issue sold out and went through a second printing, we've shifted over 10K trades, it's in colour and we've done so much to make the singles be a totally unique thing this time around, that's a bit of a disappointment. C'est la vie.

    Your shop should be able to order more at least initially - we over-printed a lot - but I suspect what there is out there will sell out quickly. So well worth bagsying one.

    Pre-ordered and eagerly looking forward to picking it up, guys.

    And, it's out in North America and - in 12 scant hours - in the UK. Anyone read it?
