Bleeding Cool Reviews Wayward Vol. 1 + 2

Over on Bleeding Cool, Christine Marie has reviewed Wayward as part of her Binge Read Catch-Up column right before our third story arc launches this week with the release of Wayward #11. She’s extremely complimentary of the story so far and encourages readers to get on board the series.

Volume 1: String Theory “honest, heartfelt, and powerful.”

Volume 2: Ties That Bind “a fascinating plot that is simply addicting.”

Press Blitz Experiment

WAYWARD11-CoverB-585x900-web

If you even remotely follow me here on my blog or via social media (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr) you may have noticed that Steven, Tamra, Zack, and I have been on quite the press blitz promoting Wayward’s new story arc (which begins with issue 11 arriving on November 18th). 17 interviews in two weeks. That’s pretty nuts, but it’s also a bit of an experiment. I wanted to see if we could push Wayward out to some corners of comic fandom that maybe haven’t had a chance to check it out yet and to see if a burst of coverage on comic-related sites actually makes a difference for our orders, especially since we were discussing issue 11 of an ongoing series, not a new comic or relaunch.

So, when Briah Skelly, Image’s new Publicity Assistant, sent interested parties our way I said “Yes” and kept saying “Yes”. Everyone who wanted an interview over email or audio was welcome. There was one actually night where I answered email questions before signing on to Skype to record a podcast, then more email questions until a second podcast recording that same night.

In the end, it was actually a pretty enjoyable experience. I got the chance to chat with a bunch of comic readers and tell them about what makes Wayward such a passion project for Steven and I. My fingers are crossed for Wayward #11 and beyond.

Here’s a full rundown of the interviews:
