Changes/additions to the Multiplex pre-order drive…

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I’ve decided to make some changes to the Multiplex pre-order drive. You can read the new deal on the Multiplex sales page, but the gist of it is this: instead of 250 pre-orders, the goal is $5000 (a whopping $12.50 higher in dollar terms, based on the regular edition of the book). However, all purchases from the Multiplex store count towards the goal now — so we’re significantly closer to the goal than we were before. I think this is a fair change for everyone.

Like before: if (and only if) we reach the $5000 goal by September 18th, anyone who has pre-ordered a book will get a free bookmark, including Kickstarter backers and anyone who has pre-ordered the book to date.

But additionally: if we reach the $5000 goal, anyone who has pre-ordered the book will be entered to win one of TEN Multiplex/Memento mini-posters and one of TEN T-shirts of their choice (dependent upon availability in your size, I’m afraid) — again, including Kickstarter backers and anyone who has pre-ordered the book to date.

NOTE: Only people who have pre-ordered tbe books will receive bookmarks and be eligible to win the free posters and shirts — including $30 and up Kickstarter backers. Donations, while appreciated, do not count towards the goal. I’m not holding my hat out — at least, not exactly. I want to sell you something.

Giveaway ends September 22, 2010.

See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.

Enter to win

The giveaway is valid for Goodreads users in the US and Canada only (sorry). See the Goodreads giveaway page for more details.

Also, if you’re in the Chicago area, please be sure to come to the Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show book release party at Third Coast Comics on September 18th, from 4pm – 7pm. I’ll be selling and signing copies of the book (a full four days before they’re officially on sale!), and fun will be had by all.

Afterwards, at 7pm, there will be the monthly meeting of the Chicago Comic Book Meetup group, and I’ll be a special guest, so you can hear me ramble incoherently about my comics.

P.S. Thursday’s strip is running late, but rather than crap something out at the last minute, I’d rather just take my time and do it right. Sorry!

Welcome to Multiplex: Deleted Scenes!

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Multiplex: Deleted Scenes is a new blog I’ll be officially launching soon. (Up to this point, I’ve just been testing out the design, so the archive only has old reviews, comics and sketches you may already have seen elsewhere.)

I hope to post more comics (both Multiplex-related and not), drawings/sketches and movie reviews a couple times a week. It’s called “Deleted Scenes” for a reason: any strips with the Multiplex cast here will be non-continuity or out-of-continuity. A few might find their way into one of the Chapter eBooks at a later date — but I hope to also have some fun breaking all of the “rules of Multiplex” I’ve established over the past five years. Stuff kind of like the Kurt Comix I did a while back, perhaps.

And, of course, some of the stuff will have nothing to do with Multiplex at all, except for the fact that I made them.

I’ll be including Multiplex: Deleted Scenes updates in my Twitter (@gmcalpin) — but not @Multiplex10 — and you can subscribe to three flavors of Multiplex RSS feeds now:

(1) Multiplex Updates only,
(2) Multiplex: Deleted Scenes only, or
(3) A combined feed with both the regular Multiplex updates and Deleted Scenes.

Most of the movie reviews here will be sort of a Multiplex Movie Club sort of thing. I’ll assign you guys a movie to rent (or stream online, if we’re lucky), and then in a week or two, I’ll review it and we’ll have a friendly discussion about it. Ideally, these are going to all be good or great movies, too, because I’m kind of sick of all the negativity at movie sites.

Since my own choices will probably be a little more obscure and possibly hard to find, I wanted to start out with something that would get a whole lot of you involved.

What movie would you like to talk about first? Bear in mind, it should probably not be something everybody has already seen, like Star Wars. Let’s try for something I haven’t seen yet.
