It sure would be nice to get issue 6 of Mouse Guard series 2 and the next Artesia collection.

Gunnerkrigg Court is one of the nicest physical books I own. The printing quality, the paper, the hard cover, the art under the dust jacket; everything about it is very nice. Glad they got their act together, got that book out, and are going to publish more in a quick fashion.

Glad to see Archaia is back. Looking forward to new Robotika, Primodia, Miranda Mercury and (of course) Mouse Guard books.

Thanks for the info. I'm really looking forward to Mouse Guard: Winter 1152's conclusion.

It's a shame about Long Count, somehow I was hoping that the series would resume one day, the first issue was really interesting.
What is the status of "The Sisterhood"? Did the third and final issue ever arrive? Because I'm still missing it.

[Nick Tapalansky]

The Sisterhood #3 did come out - you can pick up the back issue at TFAW: http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Profile/S...of-3)___316006 or your LCS (sorry, couldn't pull up the Previews order code...).

While you're shopping, I can't help but recommend Awakening Volume One... It's a fantastic read with an irresistibly handsome creative team. You can even pick it up at 45% off, a scant $10.97, from DCBS AND get an exclusive signed art print for your troubles!

Did I mention how handsome we, er, THEY are?

[Libaax]

All i care is finish The Killer. A great little story. Me and my LCS has wondered what happened to it.


The article talk about other french titles they will finish, which series are they talking about???

Artesia: Besieged #3 in July.

I was happy that a publisher like ASP came to exist, but my fondness for Artesia always came first.

Although pretty much all my hopes for the series as the epic saga it set out to be are gone because of all the time that has gone by, I still really want to see as much of it as I can.
Well, July isn't that far away...

[DeeSnider]

Great to see them putting out books again. I'm eager to get the final issues of The Killer and Secret History.

So, the articles I've been reading all talk about Archaia moving on and new personnel, Mark Smylie now CCO, etc... But no mention of Artesia, not by Mark at interviews, not anything.... Everyone's talking about MouseGuard and other titles being worked on, again no mention of Artesia.

The only title I ever cared about was Artesia. It petered out in what? 2003, when work on the RPG started taking up time. It's just about 2011 and apparently Artesia:Beseiged series still hasn't been finished. Artesia:Afire #6 was published April 2004, 7 years ago....wow...

Beseiged itself only made it to #3, in 6 years? It's so disappointing. I don't read any of the other works put out by ASP/Archaia. Perhaps if my first love, Artesia, had continued to be published regularly, I might have branched out to the other titles. But without even getting the one series I truly adored, I wasn't interested in anything else.

I guess I'm still dismayed by the lack of the Press' interest in Artesia and bringing it back into the forefront of business. I don't see any plans anywhere discussing continuing to work on it, so perhaps it is finally defunct?

[Paul Render]

I'm reading Feeding Ground, Lucid and have read a few of the graphic novels and I'm totally impressed with their output. They have this really good, unique feel to their line of books. It's alternative, but almost european in feel. Top quality books all around.

I too enjoyed Artesia, but haven't heard anything about it of recent.

[blackpariah]

I asked a question about this a few days ago, and Besieged #4 will be out this spring. At least that's what I ve heard.
