Looks good, oh and by the way as a retailer, I just want to thank you for having most if not all of the project done before you solicited it.

Sure dude. I know that you are a hard working guy so we are on the same page. I will be colorizing yours personally, so I'm good when you are. I can't wait to see them. Do you have a hires logo that you can send to me as well? I will need it for your covers.

Thanks! I always have the book compleed before it is solicited. Besides, Diamond has been giving us a hard time about if they are going to distribute this or not. I'm begining to think that they just don't like us. It doesn't matter to us either way because this book is going to kick major butt. And it will get published with or without Diamond. Anywho, Cold Cut will be distributing this as well. That is a definite. We have also opened a retailer section on our website, so all of our books including Shi / Jetta will be offered there as well. This book will not be hard to find for fans of Shi and Jetta. We just have to make sure everyone knows where to go to get it. If you know a retailer, and you want to make sure this book hits your store, tell them about us and the site. They will not want to miss this one.

Unless you have been living in some dark cave, you know about the upcoming Jetta / Shi: Arrow of Destiny crossover that will be hitting comic stores and toshigawa.com this July. To show some fan appreciation, we at MAW Productions in conjunction with Billy Tucci have decided to hold an art contest. JETTA / SHI: ARROW OF DESTINY (July 2008) After years of undisturbed peace, an unknown evil threatens Honno-Ji again. Tenkai, a mysterious monk, must call on the help of a descendant of the Sohei (Shi) & the descendant of the Toshigawa (Jetta) to honor an age-old promise to protect the Arrow of Nobunaga. To celebrate, we are holding an art contest at TOSHIGAWA.COM. Illustrate Jetta and Shi and win two free copies of Jetta / Shi: Arrow of Destiny. One will have a Jetta cover and the other copy will have the Shi alternate. Both copies will be signed by the creative team. As an added bonus, both Martheus Wade and William Tucci will include sketches that will go to the winner. It’s that simple. Log in to our message board at www.toshigawa.com to enter. •1st prize winners win a JETTA / SHI prize pack featuring two Jetta / Shi: Arrow of Destiny comic books (Jetta cover and Shi cover) each signed by the creative team, a sketch by Martheus Wade (creator of Jetta) and a sketch by William Tucci (creator of Shi). Contest ends June 01, 2008. Winners will be notified July 2nd via email. Log in to www, toshigawa.com message board to register. All of the artwork for the contest should be placed in the message board under contest. Please include a PM in the message board with your full name, contact email and mailing address with your artwork submission. All artwork that will be submitted will be used for contest and contest promotional purposes only. No prizes can be exchanged or refunded. GET THOSE PENCILS CRACKING!!

Since it is not SHI/Lady Death, there won't be 18 zero cover variants.

Yeah, All ten of them. I believe those 18 were over $200 - a rediculous amount for a single zero issue. At that moment, after paying for those, I told myself this is insane and stopped collecting SHI comics as a purist, having to have every variant issue printed.

Sorry I haven't been here in a while. I have been under the weather. There is only the 2 covers guys. I also am a collector and I hate it when there are a gazillion covers on books that I'm collecting.  The date for release is set for July! But, if you guys have used DCBS before or order your comics online, you can pre-order your books now! DCBS (Discount Comic Book Service) has Jetta/Shi: Arrow of Destiny up for pre-order for MAY. :laughingsmiley: If you order through DCBS, you will get a free sketch from me as well as a 45% discount off the cover price. You can't beat that with a stick. (Where did that saying come from anyway? :guiltysmiley:) Here is the link!! http://www.dcbservice.com/category.aspx?id=6Check it out!!!
