Ssalefish GSO First Look #164 for 6.24.20

550.jpg

It’s Thursday, so I’m in that Concord frame of mind! We hung some letters this morning to indicate the new release wall from a mile away, and I like how they turned out so much that I might bring the idea back to Greensboro!

Robert Kirkman has just announced that they’re doing a special brand-new Walking Dead one-shot, Negan Lives, by Kirkman and Charlie Adlard, available Wednesday, July 1st! That should get y’all out of the house on a week that both DC and Marvel have decided to skip!

We’ll automatically pull the regular cover for any subscribers that purchased the final issue of the ongoing series, but anyone else that wants in on the action can let us know via our usual communication channels. The language was a little vague on how the gold and silver foil variants will be distributed, so we’re not taking any pre-orders or quoting any prices on them at this time.

Me and my pal Kanen did this one live on Instagram right before it became frowned upon to hang out with your buddies, so it was fresh in my head during the shutdown when I started playing around with Garageband again. Love the harmonizing guitars!

The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, June 24th (Tuesday, June 23rd for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
