All comic stores in the USA get their deliverys of new product on a Wednesday in the UK we are a day later and get a delivery on a Thursday.. of the same product.. a one day delay and this is mainly due to it being air freighted ... !

EVERY comic store should be stocking this HOT book as the previouse Daredevil run and oni projects Kev has done have been BIG sellers..

This book will ship in Feb next year..
The best thing to do is go into your nearest comic store and ask for a standing order of this book so you never miss an issue they will probably ask for a name and phone number... then they will hold you a copy every time it comes in !...

if you have never read anyof Kevs comic projects I reccomend you pick up the Chasing dogma TPB (which collects the 4 part Jay and Bob series) and the Daredevil run and the clerks comics hey pick up all the books Kev has done... ( there is a check list on newsaskew under the comics section...)

need any more help mail me ... from my website...

: hey people,

: okay, so i'm not a comic book kid. BUT having been reading the stuff here and other places, i want to buy some. and, indeed, why not start with Mr Smith's 'Green Arrow' run? that was rhetorical. they sound pretty cool so i want to purchase them. thing is, i don't know how comic distribution works. that is: i live in England. so i want to know how big the release is likely to be. will the comic book shop in my town (Preston) stock it? i'm guessing Forbidden Planet will have them, so i can mooch into Manchester. but when will they have them? is there a delay between US release and UK release? if so, how big is the delay?

: if there is gonna be a big wait, i might well purchase them from the Stash (along with other stuff). so how long does it take for stuff to arrive after ordering and are there any charges added on by Customs?

: thanks for yr help.

: Rob xx
