This is the last Comic-Con based post for the day, I promise. I think.
But, in rather big news, acclaimed publisher of Euro Comics here in the States Humanoids is coming to San Diego Comic-Con for the first time in nearly a decade, and they are bringing goodies with them. Goodies that you’ll want.
You’ll be able to get a fair deal of their regular books and other freebies, but what’s interesting about it is that every single day Humanoids will offer different discounts on different books. For those of you looking to dip your toe in the Humanoids water and/or to pick-up that book you’ve always wanted but never been able to get, now is the time!
But what’s more is that, in terrifically exciting news, Humanoids will be joined by José Ladrönn to promote the recent release of “Final Incal,” which will be on sale. Not only that, but in addition to the book you’ll have the opportunity to buy convention exclusive Tarot cards, featuring characters from the Jodoverse, illustrated by Ladrönn. It will, as all show exclusives, be extremely limited and awesome for those who managed to grab them.
I don’t have to tell you how great “Final Incal” is. At least, I don’t think I do as I wrote an incredibly lengthy review of it in which I claimed that the book was so beautiful that it didn’t even really need its legendary writer attached to it. With art by Ladrönn and Mœbius, you’re pretty much set. So if you have the chance to grab the book and the tarot cards, you’d be doing yourself a favor.
For the full press release from Humanoids, please see below.
