It's been quite a while since we've uploaded any preview images for #2. Here's a promo image and an 'unedited' excerpt from The Territorial Rangers. The Ranger looked down on the mutilated form of Ricky Ford. They had grown up together, Clayton and Ricky, although they weren’t really friends. Ricky was a hellion in his youth, the perpetual Town bully. Ricky reached out his hand to the Ranger. Reluctant, Clayton returned the favor and clumsily attempted to hold the stump of a hand that only had two digits left. Ricky pulled him close as if to speak. Clayton leaned over and Ricky’s features suddenly changed. Snarling and bearing fangs Ricky attempted to hold Clayton close enough to bite him. Quickly The Ranger pulled out his pistol and blew a hole in Ricky’s forehead. Smoke wafted from the hole and his forehead collapsed in. Clayton turned to the Doc, “Where?”. The Doc had a look of shock on his face as he spoke “He said they’d been out by that ghost town, Bloody Gulch. They’d been chasing some natives who’d been stealing horses,” said the doctor. “I still don’t understand how silver does so much damage to those who’ve been turned.” “I don’t care,” said the Ranger, “as long as it works.” Please remember this is 'unedited' and may change in the final version. The book will be shipping to the printers very soon and I'm awaiting the Editors notes. Hope you enjoyed this preview of The Territorial Rangers from Bushi Tales #2.

Fantastic, I really can't wait to see the story in paperback. Looking foward to "Rangers" too, it's nice to see that the ninja turtles-- I mean Bushi Tales women, aren't the only ones who can dish it out in your stories ;P .

Page 17 looks fantastic, I love the twist ending! I knew there were werewolves in the story, but day-yem. Didn't see that coming.

Nice to have the work done. There should be a lot of cool new BT projects/products hitting this year. We're trying to get a few done for the Phoenix Comicon this month.

We got the proof of #2 back from the printer and approved it for printing so for sure to have it for Phoenix Comicon at the end of the month. I am so excited! I can't wait to see how people receive it. It looks much better than #1 and the story is starting to develop. Even though you won't be able to see it in "Bushi Color", Lin did an awesome job on the colors and you can tell by how well they translate to B&W. It is pretty cool.
BUT we haven't heard yet from the On Demand Printer that we are using for the art book yet so I hope that we have those for Phoenix Comicon.

Books will be in hand on Monday! Indie Artists Announce 2nd Comic Book Release Memphis, TN and Prescott Valley, AZ: January 19, 2007- David Beaty and Lin Workman announce the release of Bushi Tales, Issue #2 “On Deadly Ground”. This is the self-published version of the popular online comic story which follows four heroines in the 31st century when the ancient world has returned and a new civilization has been built by warriors who must battle the evil traitor, Chozen. It is full of extras such as 2 back up stories, one drawn by Martheus Antone Wade. Printed versions of this 32 page book are available (at the suggested retail price of $3.95 plus $1.80 s/h) online at www.BushiTales.com, with an alternate cover by Janet Wade. Both versions have a full-color cover and black-and-white interior pages. It is also available online as a full-color downloadable PDF from BushiTales.com ($1.25). The downloadable PDF version will soon be available on the Bushi Tales soundtrack and for sale online and at convention appearances. Issues #1 and #2 as well as the soundtrack CD are now available at several locations around Memphis, TN, Southaven, MS, and Arizona. Issue #3 is scheduled for a summer 2007 release. Why does this team effort stand out behind other self-published comic books? It has taken almost 10 years of development to fine-tune the story and characters—and for technology to catch up to where they needed it to be. It is also one of the few comics to have its own soundtrack. Bushi Tales has been brought to fruition by two best friends who now live over 1400 miles apart. The creative team uses the internet to send pages and sketches back and forth to each other, as well as running an online store and posting their comic project for fans to read on their website—for free. The Bushi Tales crew has also been making appearances at comic book and fantasy/sci-fi conventions across the country promoting this popular online title, and meeting their fans from around the world. Both artists along with Micah Stewart and Bushi Tales soundtrack composer Joel Gamble appeared in April 2006 at AniZona in Phoenix, AZ as guests, and worked with other members of the Mid-South Cartoonists Association on Con-Sequential- a comic convention this past October 14th and 15th in Memphis, TN. (www.con-sequential.com) The Bushi Tales crew will be guest artists this January 26th – 28th at the Phoenix Comicon and in June at the Metropolis Superman celebration. Artists Antone and Janet Wade will also be in attendance at both shows. ###

Checked the UPS site- the books have made it to Memphis and will be delivered on Monday! Gary and Morgan Printing did one heck of a turnaround on this issue.

Great. I'm supposed to hear back about a signing at Comics and Collectibles after I get back from the Phoenix con. If dave is going to be in town later that month I may schedule it for his trip if he wants.
Comics and press releases have gone out for reviews and news. I'll start a new thread as soon as we get some.
