Look at all this goodness! Congrats on the Eisner noms, once again. You absolutely deserve *all of them*! Can’t wait for all these new stories too (and the return of Black Cloak!!!) going to be amazing!

Thank you.

I am very excited about the return of Black Cloak, I just wish -- for all our benefits -- that it wasn't taking so long!

Just got back from my local comic book store and got every cover they had! The story is amazing! Between this and Birds of Prey you are absolutely rocking it.

Finally caught up on the first 3 issues of Scarlett! Great stuff Kelly!! (really makes me miss your Black Widow though)

I do have a question though, how close are Shana and Jinx? Because there definitely feels like (to me, at least) that's there's more happening than friendship 👀👀👀👀 [but if you can't answer because of Spoilers] I understand

Thanks, David!

Glad you enjoy it! I miss Black Widow too. :(

They are like sisters. So definitely not romantic. Sorry!

No worries! Sometimes you just read a vibe wrong, it happens. But anyway yeah I can't wait to see where you take the book!

I just read Scarlett 1. I preordered 6 covers, but I still had to buy the digital to read it early.

I’m super excited to see where it goes.

Ah, thanks so much, Joe! <3

Finally able to preorder Scarlett #1 on Amazon/Kindle! No image for cover, which is weird. And I couldn't find a subscribe link. But some progress.

Good! I did hear from Skybound that it was fixed (and when I checked it still wasn't there, but it is now, as you said, without the cover) so hopefully it's just taking a while for all the data to populate or whatever. Thanks for checking and staying on it! <3

Glad you and Meredith are doing okay Kelly! Sorry I am late to the comments as usual but this time i have a legit excuse, lots of driving today and this was a top notch update that i needed some time to read thoroughly:D

Those covers look amazing and congrats on the eisner nominations. Well deserved. I am excited about more black cloak as well and totally worth the wait too. Looking forward to the story and also seeing more of the city too. It’s so very cool

Thanks so much, Mike.

I'm glad you mention seeing more of the city, because the city has obviously changed a lot, given how it looked when we left it. But -- and I don't know how this is possible -- because when I look at Black Cloak Vol 1 I am simply amazed by how beautiful it is -- but SOMEHOW what Meredith's done for the new volumes is even better and richer. She's a marvel.

Sure thing!

Totally agree. Meredith crushed it with the first books and that’s amazing she’s surpassed those. Can’t wait to see where things are going.

Those flooded ruins full of mermaids look spooky. Something about an underwater building. especially when it’s full of mermaids

AGREED.

Can;t wait for more Black Cloak!

I tried again yesterday to find Scarlett #1 on Kindle on Amazon and it's still not there. Thought you might want to contact them. Or maybe I'm missing something. :/

Yeah, it's very odd. I did get a few comments about that over the last few weeks and so I reached out to Skybound -- they're looking into it. Hopefully it's just a glitch or oversight, easily corrected.

I can’t remember being as excited for a book as I am for Scarlett. Kelly Thompson and the Arashikage clan? Yes please!

Well now, let's bring those expectations down to the reasonable level! Haha. But thank you! <3

Those Covers! Wu! Takara! Canete! I rejoice while my wallet weeps! (as usual)

I hope these variants are plentiful enough that they're not too hard to get. I'll definitely try to get them specially noted on my pull list at my LCS but their track record for fulfilling those is... not the best. That's my one and only real complaint with them though. Sometimes it's outside their control too, like an issue with a distributor or delivery.

Yeah, they're really great. I was super happy!

Good luck! I'll definitely have them in my shop if you can't find them later -- although I've never gotten comps from Skybound before so I'm not sure how many I'll receive?
