For Reals this time!!!! I was so pissed when they didn’t update with the new ones. I felt like an idiot walking in every time to my comic book store and asking for tek, and getting the same response of NO.
They better not give us delays no more.

Sorry about the delays, folks.
There was a work stoppage due to the WGA strike. According to WGA rules, any work on the comic was considered writing work in support of the show.
We had a hard time giving people concrete information about when the books would be out because we had zero control over the strike itself. Based on the was comic book distribution works, June was the earliest we could reschedule the books for.
We don’t foresee any further delays.
Thanks for waiting. I really think everybody is going to enjoy the new issues.

I gotta admit the Tek episode on TCR last night was a scream. Sounds like they are getting their “Sea legs” w/ the character.

Nice “emulation” of Heavy Metal FAKK, might make fans of that mag buy this too.
Will the reprints/ongoing comics leave in the naughty bits that are left out of the show? That WOULD be awesome on so many levels, lol :)

The sheer absurdity of the Tek Jansen series is quite possibly beyond anything I’ve ever encountered…
… I may just have to start reading the comics.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for it.

I wonder what the small changes of the first issue will be? I already shelled out the bucks for 2 copies to get the different covers. I’m glad the comic is back, I think it’s a really fun addition to the Stephen empire.
