Oh no, Thompson, you don’t get off that easy... finish the quote! What is Lux’s real favorite movie? And she is my fave so far.

That was going to be my first thing to say, too! LOL.

Exactly the same thought!

This looks so awesome! Can’t wait to read it.

Gonna go out on a limb here, but is Lux’s favorite movie Universal Soldier (1992)?

I have Cull on my pull list. I’m very excited to read it! Is Black Cloak going to continue as an ongoing? I really hope so, because I am loving it!

YES! We are doing more! The trade of the first arc is out in September and we're planning for issue 7 to hit in November or December.

I'll be making a more official announcement here shortly -- hopefully with some art -- always goes over better with art! ;D -- but there's talk of it in the FIRST BLACK CLOAK LETTERS page in issue #6 in stores in two weeks.

Meredith and I are very excited about what's next -- we hope you guys will be too!

I think I'm subscribed to the Cull at Cape and Cowl in Oakland if folks are in the Bay Area. Great shop.

And the little tastes of this book just make me more excited for it. Can't wait. I'm just happy we have Black Cloak to tide us over until it drops.

I am lucky enough to have All Star as my local Comic shop. Excited about The Cull!

Can I add for other Aussies like me who might be over an hour away from a comic book shop, Comicbookeroo is an online Melbourne shop where you can pre-order The Cull (and all the other goodies we read about) and they have something akin to these pull lists that we read about. (No affiliation - just discovered them as an easier alternative to our semi regular family trip to the city for comics.)

This is great!

Actually this little mini-discussion has me thinking I'll ask people to tell me about/link to their great local shop in a future post -- so that I can gather them up and feature them.

Yeah all star comics is my local Comic Shop.. Melbourne nice shout out.. and they do do it hard.. three different suppliers..

Expand full comment

Yeah, I talked with Mitch and he was just terrific. Super impressed and was bummed I couldn't get him a package in a timely fashion for this. Will try to think of better options for International next time.

Oh I can imagine. Retail... books... it's hard. There used to be a comic shop near me, but they closed during lockdown. Now it's just an occasional family trip to the city for comics and dinner.

Expand full comment

Yeah it is my local Comic Shop but it's still 2-hour train trip.. so once a fortnight for me...

Nice!! The cast reminds of your Storykillers crew a bit. Probably a dumb question but will this be available to read on Substack like Black Cloak or do I need to track down a LCS or comiXology subscription Kelly? Regardless sign me up✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Expand full comment

It will be on Substack. And for all year one subscribers like you -- I'm trying to make sure all 5 issues are available to all of you -- but it's a little tricky with the paywall. I'm working on it!

Expand full comment

I can't wait to read Cull too!

Expand full comment

Yeah Mitch and Troy r great.. they do their best..very much looking forward to your creator own books they are magnifique.. keep up the good work

I will add to the chorus of " what is favorite movie??"-- but also--

I manage Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles, and we've ordered a mountain of the Cull #1 because you're the best and the art is brain melting. We also offer pre-orders through our online sister business for those in need of shipped books, and I would post a link but that feels...crass? There's a search bar on goldenapplecomics(dot)com, you'll figure it out.

Also, I don't know what these comp packages are but I hope we're getting one! 😎

Hey Joe!

Nobody from Golden Apple (great shop!) responded to Image's email (they basically send a letter from me to all the retailers) asking for a package -- but I have a couple left if you want me to send one! Just send me the Golden Apple address/confirm you want it and I'll get it out ASAP.

Whaaaaat, I gotta figure out where image is sending emails and fix that- but yes please! Can confirm the wanting of package.

Have you been in before? Lemme know if you're ever around! Just to say hi and / or if you wanna do a signing (private or public at your preference)

Expand full comment

I can ask for you if you like -- I can't actually see the list myself but I can ask what they've got listed -- I'm sure Image would love to update it if it's not going to the correct person.

I will get this out on Monday! Thanks so much, Joe and I hope the stuff is helpful to you!

I HAVE been in before -- more than once -- when I lived in LA -- many years ago. It's a great shop.

Thanks so much Kelly, really appreciate it! You can let them know our preferred email is now goldenappleonline@gmail.com

Email sent! Let me know if anything concrete comes of it!

Thanks for the shout-out to all-star comics in Melbourne Australia they're my local Comic Shop.. and I have this one on order and I am loving black cloak.. keep up the good work

Expand full comment

I subscribed at my local comic store. But you can order the physical copies from midtown comics? That would be very cool as well.

Expand full comment

Yeah, Midtown is a great option for people that don't have a close enough local shop. You can even do pull lists with Midtown -- I think you get 20% off everything on your pull list? And they just ship to you. Pretty great.

The Raid is a FANTASTIC CHOICE to give as a character’s favorite movie.

When I decided my main character’s favorite movie, I invented one. And then the lead actor. And then the plot of the movie. And then the themes. And then the final shot. And then a fan theory. And then his filmography. And the novel the favorite movie was based on. And the author of said novel. And another novel by the author. It was..a lot. I went deeper into that rabbit hole than was strictly necessary or completely healthy, but it sure was fun.

That is... a lot of work, but also DOES sound fun. ;D
