We have a board member inking the Ron Lim piece. When I had him draw it at comicon, he only penciled the art due to time constraints...

Check www.surprisingcomics.com in the next few weeks for the completed art.

I've added info to the website crediting all creators who worked on Surprising Theater 1, along with a bit about each individual story appearing in our premiere issue.

Great stuff! When can we buy a copy?

StarBrand · Post by **StarBrand** » Wed Jan 27, 2010 9:58 pm

We should be sending the files to the printer around the middle of February. It shouldn't be too long after that. As soon as I have a better estimate I'll post it here.

2.99. Everyone should buy one for each kid. No discounts for multiple purchases.

Hoser,

Get off the couch and turn off Hockey Night in Canada and drive down to Canadian Tire with your tuk on, listening to CBC radio on the way and grab one hundred copies of Surprising Theatre #1 paying with a bag of toonies and sit back with a two-four of Labatt Blue.

It's got Canada's Greatest Hero---The Leaf!

Buy a handful of copies!!!!

Initially Diamond won't be carrying our stuff. We hope to change that at a future date.
Everyone, reader and retailer alike, regardless of location, will be able to order through our website.
