Heading out to Nashville for MTAC Ninja
Hey, folks I’m heading out to Nashville tomorrow for the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention (or MTAC Ninja…not sure where the “Ninja” part comes from). I’ll be there doing commissions and promoting the webcomic. 
In other equally important news, the new ETD book is finally out! (much love to KaBlam and Indyplanet ^^).
I’ll be promoting the book officially next week with its own post and exclusive images. I’d do it now, but the listing on Indyplanet literally went live yesterday and today I’m getting ready for my trip to Nashville. I also want to set up the new store link on the ETD website. But anyone’s who’s a serious fan should hit up the link and score themselves a copy. The price is 15 bucks plus shipping, and for ETDheads outside the US, Indyplanet does international shipping to most anywhere (well, their website says so…).
I know it’s a bit pricey for a manga-size TPB, but the book is 352 pages, contains the first 7 chapters of ETD, exclusive never-before-seen covers for chapters 6 and 7, has more story packed into it than 4 manga books of similar size and price, with print quality that has to be seen to be believed. And I get 5 bucks off each book so the more of these I can sell, the more likely it is I’ll be self-sufficient enough to work on ETD full-time i.e. more updates and goodies.
UPDATE: Also, feel free to make suggestions for merchandise on this thread as that’s next on the agenda. T-shirts designs are next on queue with Tail already on my request list.

Congrats, buddy!
If tokyopop can sell 100 pages of garbage for 10$, then 350 pages of quality for 15$ is a damn good deal. Not to mention it’s our duty to feed you.
As for merchandise, I would gladly buy a mug of Zaj where the body is the mug and the “shaft” is the handle.

I bought your book.
I long for the days when a euro was still worth 1,5 US dollar.
Come to think of it, that’s only like 8 months ago. Stupid economic collapse.

Did the remade chapter 1 pages make it into this?

@fatlou: not sure about the mug. I think the most I can do is a mug of the Zaj with the “Got Milk?” logo and the ETD logo on the other side. XD
@CGD: Sweet! Yeah, I’m missing the purchasing power of the euro myself. I like my international fans.
@Anton: Nah. The only new, never-before-seen content on the latest book are 2 new covers for Chapters 6 and 7, the intro/table of content art, the outro art, and a kickass cover that everybody here at the con seems to love.
. But I think I’ll include that in the larger book along with a bit of sketchwork. Good idea.
