I’m starting to get letters so…
Fear not! Mankind Book 3 is in the pipe. It’s on the way. It’s written, it’s drawn, it’s lettered, it’s being coloured as you read this. That’s right. Right this minute.
It’ll be worth the wait. This, I promise.
In the meantime… How many people have you infected today?
Book 2 of my six book graphic novel, Mankind, is now available to download.
Mankind - The Book of Tash, delves into the terror of love torn apart by a zombieic plague that has ripped all the men of the world away from their women. 28 full colour pages of post-apocalyptic tension and anguish.
Download it:

Do I seriously only have one week left before the next book of Mankind?
No worries on this end for that deadline, the book’s all but ready to go. But jeez, that means I’ve got another deadline just over a month away… That may be tight.
Anyway, Book 2, as I said, is all but packaged and uploaded and Book 3 is well on its way. It’s the damn colouring that takes so long. Back to work for me and stay tuned: The Book of Tash will be here before you know it!
Just a little FYI for you all:
With its extra wide comic book format pages (totally intentional) and sharp resolution, Mankind looks awesome and reads like a dream on the iPad.
Naturally I planned it this way and didn’t just happen to see a copy of it on a friend’s iPad this past weekend.
Because I’m just that cutting-edge.
Naturally.
So the launch of Mankind, my first non-motion picture in a while, went off quite well. The book is regularly being downloaded. Happy to see that. Would like to continue to see more of it.
And I probably should have mentioned this off the top but the plan here is to go monthly with these six books. Barring December when, I don’t know, I think we can do without the blood and guts for a few days? At least that’s the plan. As long as I continue to see those downloads happening. Maybe get some more folks signing up to the mailing list. Maybe see more action on the social networks. Your interest fuels my interest.
So that puts Book 2: Mankind - The Book of Tash, on the slate for October 1st, 2011.
Mark it on your calendar with a big, bloody, red X.
The Book of Eloise was an introduction to the world of Mankind. The Book of Tash is where we really get down to it in terms of story and character. Oh, and for those of you who think the ladies got away with a lot in Book 1… Things are going to get a whole lot more real in The Book of Tash.
October 1st.
