REED GUNTHER IN FISH OUT OF SLAUGHTER in stores now!

Issue #4 hits stands across the country today! Reed and Sterling finally make it to New York City in search of Mr. Picks and the stolen monster-creating Idol! However, a bear-riding cowboy isn’t the most natural thing in the big apple and Reed quickly attracts the attention of a government special agent! Reed must traverse this urban jungle while eluding capture in order to find Starla and stop Picks! What a wild mess!

REED GUNTHER AND THE FREAKSHOW SHOWDOWN in stores now!

Finally! Chris and I have been waiting to release this issue for over a year! This issue was completely finished right before the deal with Image went through so we never ended up self-publishing it in black and white. This is the first (of hopefully many to come) “Image Exclusive” issue of REED GUNTHER!

Hopefully you awesome fans will think that it’s worth the wait! In this issue, Reed and Sterling catch up to Mr. Picks at his New York City freak show where they find Starla imprisoned and forced to be a part of his diabolical show! Reed must take back the monster-creating Idol and hide it someplace no one will ever disturb it so it will stop making monsters. But where can he hide an Idol in one of the most crowded cities on the planet?!

Also, Image just announced that they will be releasing digital versions of the book the same day as the print versions! Issue #4 still isn’t up on the site just yet for some reason, but hopefully we’ll see all future issues available digitally the same day as print so no one has to wait for anything!

Digital versions of REED GUNTHER are available here!

If digital comics is your jam, then you’ll get to check out the comics just as quickly as the print collectors. Regardless of which medium you prefer, we love you for checking out our adventures!

We’ll be in New York next week at the New York Comic Con so I hope the East is ready for a little Wild West action! We had a heck of an awesome time at APE in San Francisco this past weekend. Thanks to everyone who swung by our booth and snagged advanced copies of the fifth issue!

Thanks everyone and happy reading!

Hey folks!

We’re only a few short weeks away from the release of our first REED GUNTHER trade paper back collection!

Matthew from PanelBound.com asked us to chat with him about all sorts of stuff! We had a super fun time chatting with Matthew about what it’s like to create Reed Gunther, who our mentors are, and how we got started in the comic book industry.

If you’ve got some time to listen at work, or while driving around, or doing laundry, this podcast will definitely spice up those otherwise boring tasks!

Give it a listen here!

Thanks for the fun interview, Matthew!

Axel Medellin Machain is currently doing a sketch-a-day. Thanks to the prodding of our good friend, Richard Starkings, Axel drew this AWESOME illustration of Reed and friends!

We’re extremely excited to have our first trade out. We really appreciate all the folks who have bought our black and white self-published issues, the colored issues from Image Comics, and the people who are pre-ordering the trade.

Thanks everyone!

Just because our trade paperback is coming out in a couple of weeks, don’t think that we haven’t been working hard on brand new stuff. Oh yeah, issue #6 will be out December 7th and Shane’s written up a great origin story for our heroes. I won’t say much other than that AND the fact that it’s a “one-shot” story. That means you can pick it up without ever having read Reed Gunther before and you’ll totally enjoy it and get a great full story out of your $2.99.

Here’s the cover:

And here’s an interior page:Thanks for stoppin’ by!
Chris

Hope to see you there for the release of our first trade paperback collection!
