Hey all, hope you don't mind, wanted to point out Therefore Repent! is coming to the direct market this week via IDW. I've got a link here to my personal blog where I've been posting press, and the book info. I'd like to post any reader feed back about it so if you get a chance to look at it, and feel inclined post your thoughts here, I'll keep an eye on the thread and try to respond to people asap.
Also if your into stuff like stand up cut outs i've made a template you can download for one here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/salgood/tags/instoresupportgear/). Designed it with book shops in mind but it's a fun thing to have around at home too.

So quotes from good reviews we've received so far (http://www.salgoodsam.com/blog/labels/repent%20press.html).
"...the type of book that will have you flipping through it again and again." – Popimage
“Therefore Repent! is an absolutely boundless piece of fantasy that he [Jim] wisely grounds in very human relationships” - Quill & Quire
“In a similar fashion to comics like Y: The Last Man or Wasteland, the narrative spends a good deal of time setting up what the world is like after the apparent crisis, and Munroe does a find job establishing a world that doesn't seem as grim and hopeless as the bible does.” - The Outhouse
“Jim and Salgood do a great job of characterization from the very beginning. The two protagonists are so interesting that I had to keep turning page after page to see what and who they were. And yes, Salgood can draw like nobody’s business. There’s some “meat” to his drawings, if you will. They feel solid.” - Chris Pitzer
“ Unfortunately, I opened the book and looked at the first page. See, this is the damn problem with this damn book—you’re screwed if you read the first page, because, based on my experience, you then have to read the second. And the third. In the end, I read three quarters of the book in one sitting, “ - Victor Schwartzman
“…it's hard not to sit up and notice a book that so artfully explores the fundamental truth that even in end-of-the-world conditions our relationships, both good and those falling to dust, still take precedence over all else. Really not like anything else out there, and definitely worth checking out!” - Isotope's New Comics Peepshow
