That's right folks, you too can now know every shit and sniffle Team Awakening takes thanks to the 140-character messages of Twitter!
http://twitter.com/awakeningcomic
Come follow us on our ridiculous adventures in making comics, keep abreast of our every whim, and (ha! I said aBREAST!) make merry with us.
Now you can say "But moooom, all my friends are doing it!" and mean it!
And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention yet again that Volume One is available for pre-order at Amazon.com at 32% off! That makes the book a scant $13.57, impossible to pass up (and if you sleep on this discount, you might just find a certain Mr. Eckman-Lawn sitting on your bed in the darkness of night, sucking your breath out as your dreams fade and your heart slows. Save yourself!).

Awakening Pre-Order Intiative: Week 6.5
OUR TOP STORY...
"What the HELL, Tapalansky? It's freakin' Tuesday!"
Yeah, yeah, YEAH I know! Truth be told, when I started these weekly updates I knew there'd be a bit of a lull right about now but I figured I'd have something exciting to report last week. Turns out I'm all out of exciting for the present, though the coming weeks are going to be some doozies. Maybe another light news week or two and then BAM! All sorts of stuff to show you and tell you about. In the meantime...

IN OTHER NEWS...
I'm sorry to report that our free print promo with DCBS has come to a close as it was only for pre-orders and that cut-off has come and gone. Until we're up and running with Amazon (hopefully in the next week or two - there was some mixup between them and Diamond), may I recommend the always reliable TFAW for your pre-order desires. You an find Awakening Volume One for 20% off cover price at the following link:

LOCAL SIGHTINGS INCLUDE...
Convention season is upon us and with it comes your opportunity to meet your favorite creators (and most handsome guys on the internet that you know of) in person! As we move into the summer you'll find table/booth information and panel announcements along with store signings and more in el bloggo. Updates will always be highlighted and noted and, as the conventions start coming and going, we'll have some geektastic pictures of ourselves, our friends, and all the insanity that is a comic convention.

AWAKENING IN THE PRESS...
Recently, those crazy guys behind Archaia's Some New Kind of Slaughter (also out this June!) and The Lone and Level Sands put together a lovely roundtable discussion regarding the return of Archaia. This love-in has since found a home on The Pulse, where you'll find the comments and musings of madmen (including yours truly and Alex). Find out more about Mark Smylie's morning routine, Josh Finney's shady black market organ farm, and see Marv Mann use the word lassitude in a sentence. Direct link below:

Awakening Pre-Order Initiative: Week Five
A bit of a short one today, lads and ladies, as we continue onward. Steady as she goes!
OUR TOP STORY...
It's all official - Archaia is back in action! Check out the interview with PJ Bicket, Mark Smylie, and Steve Christy about the re-launch this June and what's in store for the coming year...
http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20991
Give it a read and get excited, people - we're coming...
IN OTHER NEWS...
Haha! Honestly there isn't much else to report right now. We've got a ton of interviews and reviews on the way in the coming weeks, a badass something-I-can't-mention-yet, and a listing of all our confirmed convention/signing appearances for the rest of the year. I'm thinking next week or the week after should be more eventful so stick around!
SOME LAST MINUTE REMINDERS...
If you haven't already pre-ordered the book, do it now! Get to da choppa! Currently there are two ways you can do this:
- Print out the pre-order coupon below and bring it to your local comic shop to guarantee your copy this June!
- Go to DCBS and order the book through them at 45% off to get yourself an exclusive signed art print! The direct link for Awakening is http://www.dcbservice.com/product.aspx?id=303661#dt.
The print is below, if you're curious...
And maaaaybe you want to add a little something to that order - I'd recommend Perhapanauts: Triangle personally - only $8.99 at DCBS, which means you get both books AND the exclusive signed Awakening art print for the regular cover price of Awakening Volume One! How can you pass that up?!
We love you.
