Bulletin: Good evening everyone!

Well, it looks like we're suffering from the lack of holidays this week, as things have been running pretty slow. Hell, it's taken me 5 days to finally send this out, which is usually sent on Sunday. =X I suppose we're just getting back into the swing of things, and hopefully next week everything gets back to normal.

We've got a few updates for the week...

I'd like to announce this month's Art Battle winner for the Holiday Character Battle: Kangarookid. Unfortunately, he was the only entree, but it was an awesome entree none-the-less. Loved his rendition of the Easter Bunny kicking the crap out of Frosty the Snowman. Congratulations to you, Skot, and thanks for the title change. Very much appreciated. ;P Let me know when you have a personal web site, and I'll hook you up with a week's worth of free advertising on the site.

Check out Skot's winning submission here: http://forum.valhallacomics.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=971&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Right now we have two art jams going on:

1. The third Sketch of the Week, focusing on extreme flexibility, where you're asked to sketch one or two drawings of people in various poses to the human limit. Find out more info about that and place your submissions here: http://forum.valhallacomics.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1009

and 2. We have our second Concept of the Month, focusing on Rulers of Hell, where you're asked to draw a figure of a God/Demon/Ruler of Hell (from any religion/mythology) OR create your own. This is to be a finished piece and we already have one completed with hopefully more on the way. You can find out more and place your submissions here: http://forum.valhallacomics.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=998

January is almost coming to an end, so we'll spark up a new Concept Jam and Art Battle in the beginning of February, but until then, keep on creating and partake in some sketch of the week jams and the concept jam, or just post some art you're working on in your galleries (and if you don't have one... shame on you!)

I'm just finishing up a couple of interviews with Buz & Ken, as well as John Rauch. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some art from the Corpse Brothers soon, so I can post theirs up. I may not receive it until next week, though, so I'll be able to post it next week, at least. I know these are coming along rather slowly lately, but that's because I've been crazy busy trying to put the store together. So, please bare with me! =]

In the meantime, you can catch up on your interview reading here:

Someone who hasn't been slacking, is Anton Curley, as he's got yet another comic series review up at the Sagas O' Scrutiny. Head over to http://reviews.valhallacomics.com and check out his scrutinization of The New Avengers!

Helping me with the Lil' Gods comic this week, was EMC (Elizabeth Cowdrey). She applied some colors to the new script that hasn't been posted yet. I'll definitely have that up tomorrow night, though, so don't worry... It's coming! This will mark the first appearance of a Frost Giant! DUN DUN DUNNNNN If you haven't been keeping up, take a look at the comic strip here: http://comics.valhallacomics.com

Well guys, it looks like no one's taking advantage of the Artist Alley at www.Valhallacomics.com, so I'm not sure what the turn-off is. Do people not like alternative venues for selling art? Is a 15% or 20% commission fee too much to ask for selling art through the store? I'm just curious what the problem is. If you can give me some info/crits/etc about how the Artist Alley should be, ideally, please let me know. I want to know what you have to say.

Finally, I wanted to announce that Pre-orders for March comic books are not ready for purchase at the store. Head over to Valhalla Comic's Pre-Orders Page to pre-order over 200 titles that are coming out in March. If you order 1-10 comics, you'll receive a 10% discount, if you order 11-19 comics, you'll receive a 15% discount, and if you order 20+, you'll receive a 20% discount. These discounts apply to all comics: back issues, new releases and pre-orders, so please feel free to browse around and add whatever you'd like.

The deadline for pre-orders is JANUARY 28, 2008 @ 11:59pm EST.

Again, if you have any suggestions for the site, what I carry, the subscriptions, artist alley, etc... PLEASE let me know. Remember, you must be logged in to subscribe to anything, so create an account! =]

Take care guys and I really hope to see you at the store. I'd love to be your comicbook/graphic novel provider, and if you don't see something that you want, just let me know what it is and I'll add it to inventory.

Better things to come in '08 guys, so stick around!

Have a great rest of the week and I'll see you on the forums.
