Weekly Roundup - and a GIVEAWAY?!

as a reward for your wonderful behavior

Big, huge week at The Scorpio Room. Go ahead and take a breath. You deserve it. You’ve done, like, a lot of reading.

If you’re looking at this email in a panic because I’m sending you yet another one, relax. No more homework. I promise. This is your catch-up note.

If you’ve been waiting for the weekend to catch up on PHENOMENOCITY, here are all the links you need in one place!

• On Monday, artist Phillip Sevy and I released the first chapter - 11 pages - of PHENOMENOCITY for FREE, exclusively at The Scorpio Room.

• Tuesday we posted nearly 90 minutes of video content for our paid subscribers, of artist Phil Sevy and I answering their day one questions.

• On Wednesday we took the day off of promoting and I told y’all a story about meeting George Pérez that was really important to me, so thanks for letting me do that.

• Thursday, Phil took over and did an amazing process post for our paid subscribers talking us through the first three pages of the book, complete with an incredible time lapse video.

• And that’s it! There you have it! Now that you have this post, you can come back to it this weekend when you have some time. Go ahead and leave this tab open on your phone so you can take your coffee/tea/margarita/yerba mate/seltzer to your hammock/beanbag/pool chair/back to bed and enjoy.

OH RIGHT

Let me guess. The giveaway, huh? Okay, we can talk about that.

The Scorpio Room is an entirely reader funded initiative. Every page of PHENOMENOCITY, all of the bonus content, and every minute Phil and I spend here is entirely funded by your support. We’re committed to making PHENOMENOCITY free to read - because we love comics, and we think that’s the best way to let people read this comic we love. But we can’t do it without you, and so - we ask!

And now we offer: the next ten people to upgrade their subscription to the next highest tier will get an extra signed comic from out of my collection. One of my comps, hand signed with a little note, personalized or with a ‘happy birthday mom’ or whatever written on it if you like.

Since some of you kooky art freaks aren’t good at math, that means the next ten of you to go from free to paid members of The Scorpio Room will be getting a signed comic from me, in the mail, for about seven dollars.* (*Shipping not included, never is.)

If you’re already a monthly subscriber but you want an extra comic for this deal, I can suggest maybe sign up a friend in exchange for the book! This special offer is a thank you for our enormously successful first week.

So here’s how we’ll do it - upgrade your subscription and use your (potentially newfound) commenting powers to comment below. If you upgrade from monthly to yearly, or anything else, I’ll throw in this when I send your other rewards. I’ll reach out separately for your shipping information, etc.

(Or you can sign a friend up and take their comic! I don’t know what you do. I’m not your mom. Not anymore.)

Ten new paid subscribers, ten signed comps to send.

If you upgrade, comment below and let me know something I wrote that you liked, so I have an idea of what to maybe send you! No promises, but it’ll be something close. And that’s it!

Happy Friday. Thanks for loving comics and being here. We do too.

Stay weird. Talk soon.
