Howdy folks!

Unfortunately, REED GUNTHER #10 will not be in stores tomorrow, April 25th. Before you tar and feather us, let us say that we are very sorry for the delay.

Please commence with the tarring…

If anyone cares about the why of such things, allow me to explain. Chris and I both live in Los Angeles where we have day jobs in television. I edit reality TV shows and Chris works as a storyboard revisionist and character designer for animated shows.

Chris and I both got on some great shows at the beginning of the year, which severely ate up our Reed Gunther time. Let me tell you, issue #9 BARELY came out on time, but we managed to squeeze it in.

“But WHEN can I read issue #10!” you say? “You dirty rats left me with such a crazy cliffhanger! Is Reed really going to sell his soul?!”

The good news is that Chris and I are now off our respective TV shows and are hard at work on REED GUNTHER #10! WHOO HOO! Now stop tarring us! And put those feathers away!

Although we’re not too far into it (the script is finished and Chris is working on thumb nailing out the entire issue), I can tell you that we’re going to bring you the reader along the way on the creation of this issue! Check back here for updates and exclusive peeks behind the scenes of making an issue!

Our fans are the most passionate and awesome fans out there and we appreciate your patience. I promise that this story will be so awesome, and so epic, the wait will be worth it. This issue is an extended issue with more story pages crammed between the covers so you’ll even get a little extra, all for the same $3 cover price.

Thanks for waiting cowboys! And cowgirls! And cowbears!

Chris is hard at work on completing the pages for Reed Gunther #10! Here’s a photo of him in progress…

No spoilers here folks!

Free Comic Book Day is upon us again! Shane, Chris, Kassandra (Chris’ wife and artist on the Reed Gunther back up story in issue #8), and Matt Whitlock (good friend of the Houghtons and artist on Shane’s Peanut’s stories) will all be signing together in Pasadena, CA!

We’ll be at the Pasadena Library from 11AM-1PM, and then at Collector’s Paradise (not far from the library) from 2-5PM! Come on by to hang out, sketch, and get TONS of FREE COMICS!

See ya there!

Check out this incredible fan art from Mathew Grigsby! Mathew tracked me down at the Emerald City Comic Con to hand me the original artwork from this piece. I wasn’t even doing Reed Gunther stuff (I was on Peanuts duty)!

Thanks for the wonderful gift Mathew!

Sneak peek from issue #10!

Howdy folks!

Thanks for hanging in there while we work through the delay in our schedule. We wanted to announce that REED GUNTHER #10, “Fiends Forever Part II” is printed up and being distributed to stores! Issue #10 will be on sale June 20th!

With the tenth issue of Reed wrapping up, that means the second trade paperback collection is also just around the corner! REED GUNTHER VOL.2, “Monsters and Mustaches” will be available July 25! Chris and I will also have advance copies at the San Diego Comic Con if you happen to be there and want to snag one early.

Whoo-hoo!

Here’s a small peek into RG #10! What’s he saying? WHAT’S HE SAYING?!?!

We gave iFanboy.com a look behind the scenes of what it takes to make an issue of REED GUNTHER!

If there’s one ridiculous, goofy, and all-out strange video you watch on the internet today, we hope it’s this one.

Many thanks to Jennifer Ruiz, Andrew Adams, Ryan Howard, and Willy Roberts for their help making this video.

REVIEWS!

FreakinAwesomeNetwork.net says:

“Shane, Chris and Josh’s work on Reed Gunther always bring a smile to my face and showcases how a comic can dip its toe into the realm of all-ages comedy without sacrificing a witty sense of humor to pander to a younger demographic. Above all, Reed Gunther is a comic about friends, fun and fightin’. And pickles. Who doesn’t love pickles?”

FanboyComics.net says:

“Shane and Chris Houghton have earned many adjectives for their comic series, Reed Gunther – awesome, hilarious, heartfelt – but now they can add epic to their list.”

iFanboy.com recommends REED GUNTHER #10 this week!

“Did you SEE the video we posted yesterday? If that doesn’t make you go buy every issue of Reed Gunther, starting with issue #10, I don’t know what will. Hands down this has been one of the best all ages and best all around comics on the stands. And most importantly, it’s fun.”

CANNED LETTUCE! We made it! After a brief delay, the tenth issue of REED GUNTHER hits stands with a bang!

I don’t want to give too much away about this story, but I will say that Chris and I are extremely proud of this one so we hope you check it out!

Newsarama recently said about this issue:

“There’s just something about this book that’s been hard to explain to other readers I’ve tried to get them reading. It’s just old-fashioned fun. In a market with a lot of grim and gritty expressions and world-ending scenarios, Reed Gunther is like a smile that greets you in your pullbox.”

Hit up your local comic shop to find an issue, or buy it digitally through Graphicly or Comixology!

Thanks for reading everyone!
