"Train Me, Gamble" in stores this Wed! Join us for the Comic Crawl!

Hello Friends, Loved Ones, and Fellow Comic Creators!

We are now less than 72 hours away from the release of "Train Me, Gamble!" Finally, the wait is almost over and the greatest graphic novel of all time is almost here! (Okay, maybe not the greatest graphic novel of all time, but definitely the 5th greatest graphic novel of all time. Or arguably, a solid 7th place.) We are so excited to share this book with you. "Train Me, Gamble" marks the first step in my career as a comic writer and words fail to truly express how thankful I am that IDW Publishing gave us an opportunity. I'd like to directly thank Andy Schmidt, my Editor at IDW and Instructor at Comics Experience for his guidance and constant help along the way. Thanks Andy. You're the best.

So once again, here is the Diamond Code if you haven't had a chance to order yourself a copy. It's pretty late in the game, so chances are if you order the book from a retailer now, it won't show up until next week, but that's okay, I'll still sign it!

"Train Me, Gamble" DIAMOND ID: OCT100436

And here are the links to several places you can order the book online. For those ordering the book online, please not that the book will be released on January 4th, not this Wednesday. You can't hurry greatness.

I got a preview. So you do too.

William just sent me an inked version Page 5 of Issue 2. It seemed only fair that I shared it with you guys as well. Check. Study. Discuss amongst yourselves.
