If you are in London on Saturday, and really dig the Mouse Guard series as much as we do, head over to Forbidden Planet and meet David Petersen in person. David will be signing on Saturday, November 7, 2009 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
“I’m thrilled to be signing in the UK for the first time!” exclaimed Petersen. “In the past. I have heard from vocal fans asking about a UK appearance, so I hope this can be the first of many.”
Archaia sent Major Spoilers sneak peeks of Titanium Rain Double Size #2 and The Secret History of Book Six, both of which arrive in stores this week (November 4, 2009).

Archaia sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Days Missing #2 that arrives in stores this week (October 7).
Archaia will be attending the Long Beach Comic Con this weekend (October 2 – 4), and sent their booth schedule and guests that are planning on showing up.
Press Release
For five days only, Eisner Award winner David Petersen will tour Southern California, providing fans the opportunity to meet the man behind the small but valiant swashbucklers of Mouse Guard: Winter 1152. Three of those days will be spent at the Long Beach Comic Convention, taking place October 2nd through 4th, where Petersen will sign a limited number of exclusive prints each day.
Petersen will begin his tour with signings at two comic book shops: Comickaze in San Diego on September 30th, and Secret Headquarters in Los Angeles on the evening of October 1st.
Press Release
To help get comics fans in the proper mood for Halloween, writer Nick Tapalansky and artist Alex Eckman-Lawn will embark on a four-stop tour to sign and promote their Archaia hardcover horror book, Awakening, and will even offer exclusive prints and a link to read a free, online preview of the first chapter in the next volume. Fans who are unable to attend any of the signings but purchase the book, or have purchased it already, will also get the opportunity to read the free preview.
“The amount of support we’ve received over the past few years has been mindblowing,” said writer Tapalansky. “When the volume was solicited back in April, we partnered with DCBS to offer an exclusive print to fans who ordered the book through their website and it was HUGE! Now that the book is available in stores we wanted to do something special for all of our fans, including those who might’ve been waiting to try it, as well as the local comic shops that support us.”
This October, Archaia is releasing a 48-page graphic novella by Ryan Schifrin, Larry Hama and Adam Archer, called The Devil’s Handshake. And if the preview is any indication of how good the issue will be, you can bet it will be on my pull list.
Arriving in stores this week from Archaia is the first issue of Days Missing. The company sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue, that you can check out after the jump. For those looking for a cheap comic, it doesn’t get much lower than 99-cents for a debut issue.
