I think this book is going to be really good. I love how these preview pages read and look. Can't wait for the February release.

Can't wait! Wiebe is a super nice guy and a fantastic writer as Intrepids and Green Wake have shown. This looks right up my alley, genre wise, so I'm very excited.

[Awesome!]

I really wish I liked Wiebe's writing because his story ideas are always right up my alley. There's just something about the way he puts sentences together that doesn't work for me. Oh well. I'll keep reading the previews and maybe it won't bother me in the future.

Always up for another Peter Pan project. This could be interesting.

Hopefully if people are digging Kurtis Wiebe's writing then they are also checking out his comic writer's podcast - THE PROCESS :)

I'll convert you one of these days, Awesome. ;)

That's the spirit! And I hope so because, like I said, I really want to like your books. The idea behind this one is so awesome. It seems like most people who read your work really like it a lot though so congrats on the success you've been seeing so far in a difficult market.

Thanks, really appreciate it. And I appreciate your honesty about your thoughts on my writing. I'm definitely the same way, there are certain writers that people really enjoy that I just do not connect with. Just like people in real life, it's similar to a personality clash, I suppose.

But, who knows, maybe something I do will hook you or just maybe you'll continue to be frustrated that the ideas you really like don't pan out in the storytelling haha!

This book looks and sounds great. I am very excited for it. Consider it pre-ordered!!

I'm definitely going to give this one a try. From the moment I heard about, the concept sounded like pure genius. There's so much potential and I'm expecting a really sincere, heartfelt, emotional, gut-wrenching read.

The art also looks like a very good fit for this type of book.

I do wish Peter Panzerfaust was included Stephenson's little rant, however....it certainly seems like a book that deserved to be there.

Thanks, everyone!

You know, I wish he included it in his rant, too. Not sure how to get on his personal radar. I guess if my last name was Vaughn?

Look for a bunch of teasers in January!

Hey, it's SS Captain Hook!

Hey, it's SS Captain Hook!

Goddamn you, Kurtis. I'm going to buy #1 and really, really hope I like it.

Well...either that, or you're good buddies with him (*cough*Keatinge*cough*). Personally, while I'll be giving both Panzerfaust and Hell Yeah a try, I actually think Peter Panzerfaust is the more marketable book and that you're a bigger, more "up and coming" name than Keatinge.

But thanks for the Hook teaser. Bloody brilliant!

It's gotten me to start wondering if you've cooked up a WWII parallel for that tick-tock crocodile....I'm thinking a menacing tank....though surely you'd not be so brazen as to use the actual Crocodile flamethrower tank (which, iirc, was a Churchill anyway)
