Issue 2 and Shipping Costs

Mike and I have officially begun work on the second issue of Horsemen. We're also working to really up production and distribution of the book itself, through Facebook and a proposal to a certain indie comic company. Tiffany whipped up a great Basement Comics logo for the new front covers, which should add a little something to the overall look of the book from now on.

We're thinking of going with Ka-Blam publishing for the new issues (including reprints of the original first issue). All new prints will have the following changes done to them:

• A set cover price will be printed on the cover.
• The Basement Comics logo will be seen.
• The issue number will be more appropriate.
• The names of the creative individuals involved with the issue will be seen on the front cover.

Two of them should have been fixed in the first run of prints, but you can thank me for fucking that up. With the help of mighty Photoshop, we will remedy the other details.

On another note entirely, I thought I'd put in shipping costs so people knew how much the book would be:

• If you want Priority shipping, it costs exactly $4.25 to send in the United States, along with one issue.
• If you don't care when you get it, it costs about $3.00 to send in the United States
• If you don't live in the United States, you have to get Priority shipping, and it's an additional $6 to ship an issue overseas (or to Canada).

I'm sorry for the price hike, but that's how much I'm spending out-of-pocket each time I send an issue. I usually wouldn't care, but the book has already cost me quite a bit. It's worth it, to get the story out there and have it enjoyed, but I do need to at least try to recoup my losses, to say nothing of making a profit.

Thank you all, to those who've joined the Facebook group, checked out the site, and/or picked up an issue. If you haven't yet, go ahead and get one! It's 32 uninterrupted pages with only one ad, and it's on the back cover! So pick one up!

After issue 2 is finished, and we hear back from our hopeful publishing saviors, we'll start thinking about t-shirts, buttons, and so forth.

What we're really seriously looking at right now are dolls.... Interested?
