Book. December. COLOR!
(See how I didn’t bury all that good information in some long-winded paragraph with a million silly parentheticals like a usually do? Right up top and totally unambiguous this time. Nice job with the marketing, man!)
“When you’re a witch with night terrors, you might just start conjuring unspeakable monsters in your sleep. That’s what’s happening to Serenity Rose, noted witch, artist, and social-phobic, in the much-anticipated second volume of Serenity Rose by Aaron Alexovich (Kimmie66, Confessions of a Blabbermouth).
In Serenity Rose Volume Two: Goodbye, Crestfallen, due out from SLG Publishing in December 2009, Serenity is doing her best to stay awake, but if that’s not enough to make her crack, the government goons hassling her, the freaked-out tourists ogling her, and the sadistic blond witch that’s been following her will! Add into that some heavy friendship drama and the past coming back to haunt her, and it’s no wonder the stress is just about killing Sera. Can she get her head on straight before she brings the whole town down with her?
‘I wanted to seriously push myself art-wise, and tell a tight, focused, very personal story with a lot of heavy horror atmosphere and some intense, bizarre action scenes,’ said Alexovich. ‘I think people who liked the first book will be really surprised by this one. It’s the best stuff I’ve ever done, and I’m beyond excited that SLG decided to let everyone see it in full, bloody, ectoplasmicky color. I promise not to make them wait 78 years for the next one.’
Serenity Rose Volume Two: Goodbye, Crestfallen is a 144-page, full-color graphic novel full of horror, turmoil — and monsters as only Alexovich can draw them. Its ISBN is 978-1-59362-181-0 and it can be PRE-ORDERED AT COMIC BOOK STORES NOW with the DIAMOND CODE OCT090665.

HEAVENWARDS
OR -WARD
WOOOOOOOO COLOR!!!!!!
Very excited 🙂
can’t. wait.
WAUGH!!!
Awesome! Very exciting news. I’ll definitely be buying myself a copy ASAP.
Fuck yeah! Wooo!
And I’m holding you to that promise about not making us wait for the next one, Aaron. *squint* I know your e-mail address.
I’m pretty sure I can make that 78 year deadline.
79, 80 years TOPS.
@will: don’t worry too much about the 40 copies, Mustard Nut up there’s buying a thousand. That should cover the extras for quite a few of us 😉
(but i’m sure I can squeeze a *few* in, what with gifts ‘n’ such….. nice timing btw, Aaron!)
AWESOME!!!!
I really hope I get my hands a copy as soon as it comes out. Otherwise I will consider moving to da USA so I can get one fast enough. 🙂
Hooray 😀
I’ll be sure to harass all the local shops about it!!
I am totally buying this.
Yay! So exciting! Adding it to my Christmas wishlist!
Seventy Eight year deadline, what are you doing, racing global warming? 😉
Does anyone know a good online comic shop, where I can place my pre order? Will Slave Labor Graphics, be taking pre orders as well?
I *have* had pretty good success with Amazon on that kinda thing, often getting stuff *ahead* of the official release date….
cosmo: I think it’s a little early for the online ordering, but as soon as I start spotting links around the internetosphere I’ll post them right quick.
I’m sure SLG will have it in their webstore before too long. (Should be an Amazon link soon, too.)
Sweet. Now I just need a steady job and a girl-friendly comic store (I hear there are a few in this area, but since I’m broke, I have yet to go check them out).
oy, will this be available at atomic books/ atomic pop? anyone heard of them?
Already on my wishlist. SO excited for this.
🙂 🙂 🙂 Really looking forward to this, but… PLEASE tell me that this one will be bound differently than the first? Please? Even an old-fashioned stapled binding would be better than the pages becoming unglued… you can never get them to go back in just right, and that makes me sad.
They ARE using a different printer this time, actually. So we’ll see…
Same thing happened to a friend’s one. She somehow managed to get it back together again using thin strips of duct tape and very careful placement…
LOL, that happened to my copy. I had to order a whole new copy, cause half the pages fell out, lol.
