Thanks! I'll get that changed up.

I expect the series to perform well. We could never keep the first series in stock for extended periods, people would always buy whatever we had.

By all means, repost #2. It's an AWESOME cover. Just wanted to help pimp the event for you by promoting the cover to the issue they'll be signing.

I know you're the Shadowline Pimp and I've seen you around here, but I don't know exactly who you are and what you do. Who are you and what do you do?

I don't work for them and only do this out of my desire to get my feet wet doing PR for a comic company. Jim and Kris ran a contest last year to help promote their comics and I took that as a way to help get started (and since I like essentially everything they put out it makes my "job" easy). I won the contest and the new screenname just stuck. Consider me an unpaid intern working on an unofficial basis.

I didn't know any of that. That's pretty cool. I'm pretty much on duty 24/7 talking or promoting comics in real life and on here so I can relate 100%.

I consider myself an unpaid representative for Marvel Comics.

I noticed.

I also changed my name rather than allow my real name to be as searchable as it once was. Especially since most of my posting seems to occur while at my real (paying) job. So what if I'm a manager...I still have to lead by example!

Tell Boatwright and Rubio that "Pimpsquad Marc" says hello when you see them this weekend.

Oh shit, that's fantastic news! Ryan's a great guy. Great to hear Image is now their publisher!

Ahem....and SPECIFICALLY Shadowline.

Also, Deff, I sent a picture of your new tat to Dwight MacPherson (a big Cthulhu fan) and he was impressed.
