The revised Chapter 1 and 2 eBooks are here…

As some of you know, I’m updating the format of the Chapter 1–5 eBooks, leading up to the release of the very, very late Chapter 6 eBook.

Chapters 1 and 2 have now been updated, and while the first one is free, if you purchased the Chapter 2 eBook (or the full set of Chapters 1–5), I wanted to let you know that you can “upgrade” to the revised edition FREE by simply re-downloading the PDF from your Account / Downloads page at the Multiplex Store. (If you’ve forgotten your password, just click the “Forgot Password?” link on the login page to get a new one sent to you.)

I hope to get Chapters 3 and 4 updated in the next week or two, and then have Chapter 5 and the new Chapter 6 eBook ready shortly after that.

Please note that there is no new content in the revised Ch 1–5 eBooks except for a new introduction to the revised Chapter 1 eBook, explaining why I revised them, so if you’re perfectly happy with the existing ones, don’t worry about it. I have, however, corrected some typos and minor art mistakes that snuck into the earlier eBooks (and even the print book). So there’s that.

If you don’t already have the Chapter 1 and 2 eBooks, buy the set today! As with Chapter 2, you’ll be able to upgrade to the revised versions as they’re completed.

As always, thank you for reading — and thank you for supporting Multiplex!

“Scrapbooking Big-Screen Memories” by Amanda Petrusich (link)

I gave a lot of interview for the two-sentence quote used in a New York Times article by Amanda Petrusich about Cinema Treasures, but it’s one of my favorite websites on the interwebs — and an invaluable resource when I do the strips where Devi and Jason visit old movie theaters — and it was for the New York freakin’ Times, so I was thrilled to do it all the same. Go check out the article over at the Times’ website.

Did I mention the part about getting quoted in the New York Times, talking about movie theaters? Being a pundit is cool.

Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show is now available from Diamond Comics!

As I mentioned a week ago, Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book 1) is in Diamond Comics Distributors’ PREVIEWS “movie comics”-themed June catalog, which is out NOW. (It’s a Staff Pick, even!) Since I’m really excited about the potential to get the book out to my international readers who can’t afford the high cost of shipping, and to introduce the book — and Multiplex, in the process — to many, many new readers, I wanted to share the solicitation with you guys.

Also as I mentioned before: if you want to convince your local comics retailer to pick up the book, point them to page 258 of the June PREVIEWS, download this sell sheet (PDF, 308kb) or just give them the Order Code (JUN110987). That’s all the information they need to order the book from any comics shop in the world with a Diamond account. (Yes, that includes PREVIEWS UK shops!)

Orders through Diamond will hit shelves in August.

From p. 258 of the June PREVIEWS

Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show is a Staff Pick in the June PREVIEWS!

Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book 1) has been available since September, but this June, Diamond (the largest comics distributor in the world) will finally be listing the book in their PREVIEWS catalog (Order Code JUN110987), which coincidentally has a “Movie Comics” theme. In fact, Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show is a Staff Pick! If you live overseas, where the shipping can end up costing more than the book itself if you order it through me directly, this is your best bet.

If you want to convince your local comics retailer to pick up the book, point him at page 258 of the June PREVIEWS, or simply download this sell sheet (PDF, 308kb) and give it to them; it has all the information they need to order the book!

Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book 1) collects strips #1–102 from the Multiplex archives, plus over 40 pages of bonus comics including an all-new, exclusive 12-page Prequel story set on opening night of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, plus character bios, guest strips and more! The book 224-page, oversized volume retails for $19.95.

June’s PREVIEWS should be in comics shops WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1. Orders through Diamond will hit shelves in August.
