Jeff Smith just returned from the Retailer Summit in Baltimore, where he unveiled the cover to RASL #7, arriving in February.
Got a lot of great feedback on RASL, which was nice. Above is the art for the cover of #7, which will be in the Diamond catalog for items shipping in Feb. Starting with #7 next year RASL will begin shipping bimonthly. The second collection, RASL 2: The Fire of St. George should drop in April. Amazing color from Steve, huh? Wild!
My biggest concern with the RASL has been its shipping schedule. Going bimonthly is certainly a step in the right direction, but a monthly schedule would really rock.

So wonderful, and yet so frustrating. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on Jeff Smith’s RASL #5, as I read the final page of the fifth issue.

Man, this series can not come out often enough. I love it from top to bottom. Jeff Smith has posted a sneak peek of Rasl #5 up on his Boneville website, and they are worth checking out. The issue is scheduled to arrive July 15, 2009.
Some answers and a few problems

If you forgot Rasl #4 hit stores this week, you probably aren’t alone. It’s been six months since issue #3 graced the shelves, so it is understandable if your brain blocked the issue from your memory. However, if you didn’t pick up the issue, you are missing out on some juicy new tid-bits of information that will make the conspiracists chatter for months.
Bending space just got a whole lot more interesting

If you haven’t read the first two issues of Jeff Smith’s RASL, stop reading right now, call or visit your local comic shop, and beg your shop keeper to get you those precious issues. Without them, your life is not complete. Okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating just a bit, but the fact remains, RASL proves that indie titles can be good, and sometimes even awesome.
