I conducted a survey on my fans using Google Forms and this is what I found it was pretty enlightening, not to mention a cool experience. Thanks for participating!

New York Comic Con was a blast!!! LOVED seeing all the Moon Girl cosplayers, and hearing what you all thought about Rocket Girl issue 10.

You can normally find me at my Artist Alley table M32.  Next to me will be Brandon Montclare!

In addition to books, prints, T-shirts, and sweet "making of" books, we'll be selling the new Rocket Girl coloring books for $15 a pop!

Dudes and dudettes! We have just launched a kickstarter for a Rocket Girl coloring book! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/739745455/rocket-girl-coloring-book Also, tomorrow Rocket Girl issue 8 comes out! SO MANY THINGS. We will be signing at Forbidden Planet in NYC starting at 6pm. Hope to see some of you!

Fun fact: I WILL BE AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON! Three days. I won't have a table because I prefer floating. But here are some of the things I've got going on!

[amyreeder]

19 days until Rocket Girl is in stores! Rocket Girl, aka DaYoung Johansson, is a teen cop from the future. She even comes with her own police lights! Where she comes from, all the cops are teens, because their black-and-white view of the world lends to less corruption. In 80's New York, however, she clashes with the NYPD.

Readers: tell your shop to order you issues! Retailers: use Diamond Code JUN170695 to order. Final Order Cutoff is Monday, July 10! Everyone: please spread the word! Issues #8, #9, and #10 are all done. Inked, colored, lettered and ready to be in stores August 2, September 6, and October 9!

[amyreeder]

The rumors are true: Rocket Girl is coming back!! Issues 8-10 wrap up the second story arc and they're all finished. Issue 8 comes out August 2nd. FOC is approaching, so please tell your comic store you want one! It does us a world of good!

[amyreeder]

Guess what: I am taking commissions orders online for the first time ever! Get one while they last. Some will likely make it into a sketchbook I plan to make this summer!

Issue 16 came out this week!! This is my favorite issue thus far and I'm not alone! Make sure you check it out.

[amyreeder]

Animated process of cover 16! Moon GIRL and Devil Dinosaur with special guest Dr. Strange. Out in January! Original art for sale here: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=145388

New day, new GIF! This was my process for cover 15 of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! You'll notice I drew the wrong version (how she appeared in Invincible Iron Man) of Riri Williams, AKA the new Iron Heart. So I had to do that part over. Whoops! Again, originals such as this one (at a discount for the redesign!) are for sale here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=44098

[amyreeder]

Here was my process for the Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur #14 cover, out this month! These days I always start with the roughest of sketches, something tiny that only focuses on movement and general placement. I try it 3 or 4 times before a scribble sticks out to me. THEN I do the actual, readable thumbnail. It's not easy to think that general, but it's essential if I want to bring life to my art. Drawing details early is a weakness and a crutch; get over it! The cover original (along with a couple others) is for sale here! http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=145388

[amyreeder]

These four covers happen to just have gone on sale! Link: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=145388
