The third E-Man comic from Digital Webbing was sent to the printer today. This should put the book in the distributor’s hands for Jan 5th, giving it a in store date of Jan 14th. Yeah, we know it was originally slated for October but we had to pack all kinds of extra stuff in the pages. The story itself runs 25 pages, and the extra stuff includes a 35th Anniversary editorial and a great interview with Joe Staton. Oh yeah, we swapped out the cover at the last minute.

Special thanks to Michael Watkins and John Anderson for delivering the colors to us. Also a big shout-out to Kel Nuttall for stepping in to letter the issue.

This is a very limited run, so if your shop didn’t order it for you, you may have a tough time finding this book. We printed pretty close to the print run with only handfuls to spare being sent off to the creators.

Our next E-Man appearance will most likely be in an issue of Fist of Justice, you are reading Fist of Justice, right? Stay tuned to this blog for updates.

A while back when we were still publishing Digital Webbing Presents, there was a plan to run an animated Fist of Justice story featuring the debut of the Justice Mobile. Now here it is almost a year later and we’re currently in production with the story in FOJ’s regular book.

The animated story is illustrated by Bob LeFevere and Jamal Walton. Jamal is also the master of all crafts and colors the story as well. Since the art is still kicking around, don’t be surprised to see it pop up as a splash page, back cover, or some sort of editorial art.

Speaking of art, we’re currently in discussions with a very talented artist who may become one of our regular FOJ artists, stay tuned for developments.

Here’s a page from the animated Fist of Justice issue planned for #5. Illustrated by Bob Lefevre (Aletheia, Transformers); inked and colored by L Jamal Walton (Warmageddon).

It’s gonna be a sweet issue. Look for it sometime in 2009.

With that said, we’re also in production with FOJ #6. You see? We’re trying to get issues finished before we solicit so you’ll have a regular fix of Fist of Justice instead of the 4 times a year format you’ve been experiencing.

Also, don’t forget Digital Webbing’s Free Comic Book Day comic is Fist of Justice #1 (in case you missed the original the first time, since it’s sold out!).
