SSALEFISH GSO FIRST LOOK #74 FOR 9.5.19

I'm writing today, a day earlier than usual, because I just can't wait to make this announcement any longer (and because I'm going to be sequestered in the warehouse for the next two days getting things ready for Greensboro Comicon [tickets on sale now here at the shop]): We'll be getting our very own exclusive variant cover to Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1 in October!

Illustrated by the always prolific Francesco Francavilla and limited to 1,500 copies worldwide, the interior madness will be presented by the original series team, written by My Chemical Romance frontman and DC's Young Animal editor-in-chief Gerard Way and illustrated by multiple-Eisner-award-winner Gabriel Ba. As with our Batman #50 variant, the first copy purchased in-store will be cover price, with each additional copy available for just $10. It's also the perfect book to get signed by G at NC Comicon: Bull City in November!

This is truly another dream come truth for me. Umbrella Academy is hands down a desert island, top 5 series of all time (alongside Scott Pilgrim, DC New Frontier, All-Star Superman, and Casanova for those keeping track at home). I've even quintuple-dipped on Apocalypse Suite in deluxe hardcover, paperback, single issues, mini hardcover, and digital, and this is just another example of how lucky I am to be a business owner, that, with the consultation of my partners, of course, I can see where we're at and the road ahead and make a completely self-dulgent decision to do something that will spread my personal enjoyment of something across the world!

BRING SATURDAY AM HOME!!

​Since starting this whole “DIVERSITY IN MANGA” movement in 2013, we’ve been amazed at the growth that both our brand (and magazine) as well as our mission have experienced.

It wasn’t always easy but it has worked and here we are with creators from all around the world, fans from all around the world, 90 issues, 1 spinoff, and six graphic novels and we’re STILL NOT DONE.

​Whew (feel tired just typing that...!)

​

In 2018, ​we’ve attended a number of conventions in the United States and met many of our fans. From CLEVELAND to PORTLAND to PHILADELPHIA, Saturday AM has been honored to work with WIZARDWORLD to meet our fans throughout the USA. The WIZARDWORLD shows have enabled us to interact with a variety of of manga and amateur comic book enthusiasts via a number of FUN panels. PITCHING COMICS, BATTLING OUR ARTISTS, and LEARNING ABOUT DIVERSITY have all been incredibly cool opportunities but we’re NOT DONE!

​

Our next stop will be in CHICAGO and will feature a NUMBER of our TOP ARTISTS:​

​ANDREA VOROS - creator of SAIGAMI

JEYODIN - creator of HAMMER​

MORGANNE WALKER - creator of SOUL BEAT​

ANTHONY JACKSON and BERAT LJUMANI - creator of MUTTON CHOP​

TONY DAWKINS - creator of TITAN KING​

ROBERT BURHANS - creator of ​YASUKE, BLACK SAMURAI

We expect MORE CREATORS to join us but for now what we can say is that we will have MANY PANELS:

PITCH SESSIONS - our POPULAR YOUTUBE SHOW will continue with additional reviews of amateur comic pitches. 

FIRE ART LEAGUE BATTLES - WIN PRIZES when YOU FACE OFF with OUR artists as they duel against each other in LIVE QUICK DRAW BATTLES sponsored by Plasq’ COMIC DRAW.

AUTOGRAPHS - Signings for SAIGAMI Vol. 1 and 2 and MUTTON CHOP amongst others.

DIVERSITY IN MANGA -  learn why DIVERSITY is important to comics and pop culture and how you can successfully utilize it within your own works.

GROWING YOUR BRAND - how Saturday AM has grown into a variety of media and what we have next including our Animation and App plans. 

And more! 

Will we attend more shows?

Time will tell but we DO GET REQUESTS about shows here in our Base of Operations - North Carolina. 

We’ve really been happy to see the growth in the CONS here in NC. ANIMAZEMENT, NC COMICON, GREENSBORO COMICON, OAK CITY COMICON, WIZARD WORLD WINSTON SALEM, and RALEIGH SUPERCON are really becoming insanely huge, well-run shows. That said, the grand daddy of them all, HEROESCON is another EXCELLENT showcase for large and small creators and publishers. 

We’re hoping to ​attend them all in 2019 but please LET US KNOW (and THEM) WHAT SHOWS YOU’D LIKE US TO ATTEND!!

SSALEFISH GSO FIRST LOOK #74 FOR 8.29.18

(DVD Box Art by Bill Sienkiewicz.) I've been on a Venture Bros. deep dive. The only thing I can trace it back to is thinking about heading up to New York Comic Con in October, where five years ago I saw the best panel I've ever attended, Let's All Smoking, hosted by show creator Jackson Publick and his main man Doc Hammer. Whatever it was, I've been rewatching the whole series from the beginning (if you don't like that episode, you don't like one of my all-time Top 5 moments of TV), reading all of the behind the scenes junk on every episode in the Go Team Venture art book from Dark Horse, and completing my 8" Biff Bang Pow figure collection.

The two things that have struck me the most are 1) how many comic people were involved (Power of Shazam's Mike Manley, The Tick's Ben Edlund, Black Canary's Annie Wu, the legendary Bill Sienkiewicz), yet no comics were ever created for it even though Jackson Publick originally planned to do the series as a comic and 2) I wish we had done more of an Astrobase Go aesthetic with the store's decor and our personalities.

Also, I'll be at Geeksboro Battle Pub's Totally Free Craft Fair on Saturday, August 25th from 11 AM - 3:30 PM testing out our wares for Greensboro Comicon, so come by if you'd like first crack at a deal on comics or toys and grab a plate of the best tater tots in town!
