Pre ordered!

Hi Stardust,

Pre ordered!

Cool! I haven't mentioned yet since I don't know how they're going to handle all the one-shots and mini-series... Mad Cave will also probably have a subscription offer for the series soon. It will include the first year of books in digital format, followed by a physical version of the trade paperback which will be mailed to you (all for around $25, probably). I just don't know if the trade paperback will include all the extra issues, or just the main series. I'll post details here once they're available.

Hi all,

Here are a few drawings of the team by Mindy Lee, artist for the Ken: Deathmatch one-shot.
