Okay, well I guess the header says it all. You can now pick up UA 2 & 3, along with #1 if you haven't already grabbed a copy.
More news! I will have a table at the next "Art at the 625" in downtown Flint on June 12. I'll be surrounded by painters, photographers, and jewelry makers; in other words, I'll probably stick out like a sore thumb. So come on down, buy a comic or two, and make me feel like I belong there!

Art at the 625
Last night was the Art Walk in downtown Flint, which I spent with Sarah, assisting her with her table. Aside from assisting ME with the publication of USED ADDICTIONS, Sarah dabbles in photography. Well, maybe "dabbles" isn't the right word, since she has begun to devote much more time to her work. Anyway, we had a blast, saw some great artwork, and had the privilege of meeting some great people.
When I wasn't helping Sarah, I was outside the venue, handing out sample copies of USED ADDICTIONS to anyone willing to take one. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that many people had already grabbed a copy from places like The Lunch Studio and Comic Relief. But what suprises me more is that sales have been virtually non-existent. Everyone I've talked to has said they really enjoyed the 3-page preview, so I'm wondering if people realize it isn't the complete comic, but only a preview of issue one. When I put the preview copy together, I thought the last page sufficiently explained that if people wanted to read the entire story, they would have to order a full copy at the web site. I'm concerned because if someone does think the preview issue is the complete comic and then they purchase issue 2 when it comes out, they will have no idea what's going on, since UA #2 picks up where #1 leaves off. I'm thinking maybe I should just go ahead and hand out full copies of #1 to avoid any confusion. Then again, I do enjoy being paid for my work, and I think the comic is worth the $3 price. Oh well. Hopefully I'll have things figured out before Motor City Comic Con next weekend.
Speaking of the Novi con, I am going to bust my butt (and enlist Sarah to bust hers) to ensure that UA #2 is ready for sale by then. So if anyone is interested in picking up the next issue, be sure to check back next weekend to order your copy.
