HAVEN DISTRO
UPDATE |
Sponsored By: |
|
This month
we've been hard at work back at the
drawing board with the Enemi
catalog. While our first two issues got
generally good feedback, we needed a
design that would dance off the page,
slap customers across the face and
scream "HEY! Previews ain't the
only game in town anymore!!"
And thus COMICS! was born...
http://havendistro.com/catalog.html
In addition to listing more of our
inventory, Enemi Entertainment will
continue to provide magazine content in
the form of interviews, features, and
reviews.
Unlike Previews where the big publishers
get all the best content and the little
guys get buried, the features will be in
the front on their own. The products --
both back stock and advance orders--
open with 3 staff-picked ROTATING
Showcase Publishers, and the rest A-Z,
listed with a much friendlier index with
bold listings that lets everyone stand
out.
If you're a retailer and you want to
make sure you get one, call or email
me! This issue will also be available
for sale direct from Enemi at retail or
at wholesale to stores through Haven.
If you're a publisher that has not yet
sent in their print-ready cover art and
solicitation, call or
email me!
If you want to really make a statement
with an advertisement in our premier
issue... call or
email me!
In other news... Besides the
ever-growing list of new arrivals and
Advance Orders below, we've got a couple
of big titles on order. Look out for
the the second printings of Bluewater's
crazy-popular Fem Force titles because
you know your other supplier won't be
able to fill your reorders on them.
Also... Sonic and Knuckles are coming to
Haven! To see our initial offerings,
Browse by Publisher in the web cart and
click
Archie Comics. Be the first in
line when they arrive.
Have a Happy St Patty's Day!

PUBLISHER
SPOTLIGHT |
Launching in April of 2000 with a
flagship Issue#Zero sampler in April
2000, UK based Com.x released its
first titles into the comic
marketplace in February 2001,
including Bazooka Jules, Razorjack
and Puncture, followed by Sky
Between Branches, Codename: Babetool,
N-jin, the collected edition of The
Last American, and the much talked
about Cla$$war in 2002.
After a long
publishing hiatus, Com.X is
coming back with a collected
edition of Cla$$war and a trade
of Razorjack, both of which you
can read more about below. They
also debuted a brand-new 88 page
graphic novel, created by
Gregory S. Baldwin, entitled
PATH.
Through changing artists and
a robbery that forced them
to shut their doors for
years, Com.X has survived
and is ready to step back
into the world of
independent comic book
publishing.

Enola Gay – A team of super-powered

AMERICAN – the figurehead of the

posing a major security alert to
both the President and the entire

bring him in without revealing the
bloody truth behind their seat of
power?
Your chance to see what all the
hype was about. This premium,
hard-cover edition collects all six
issues from the Com.x

Comic Of The Year 2002”. Featuring
an exclusive new story written by
Rob Williams and art by Trevor

Love and
Capes Wedding - You're Invited! |
You are cordially
invited…
to attend the wedding of Mark and
Abby in Love and Capes #12.
 You
might not have been invited to Lois
and Clark’s wedding. You probably
couldn’t attend Peter and MJ’s
wedding (and, if you did, you don’t
remember it.). But you can be in
attendance for the comic book
wedding of the 21st century! The
Crusader and Abby are getting
married in Love and Capes #12,
coming out in December 2009, and you
could be there.
Tickets to this wedding are limited
and seating is first come, first
served. Cost is just $40 per couple
or $25 per single. No "crashers"
permitted. To be part of this
special event, RSVP by sending a
photo of yourself, along with your
payment, and you will be drawn into
the wedding scene cover of Love and
Capes #12 and mentioned by name at
the end of the book.
To commemorate this special event,
and to show our appreciation for the
fans of Love and Capes, artist Thom
Zahler will be creating a special
limited edition 11 x 17 print of the
wedding cover. All "attendees" will
be sent a signed and numbered print
to commorate their attendance at
this "super" celebration. Interested
attendees can also look for Thom
Zahler at the Free Comic Book Day
event May 2nd at Rogues Gallery
Comics in Austin, Texas , where
he’ll have his camera ready to snap
your photo on site.
If response warrants, an alternate
version of the cover illustration
(featuring Mark in his tuxedo,
rather than his Crusader uniform)
will be created to handle the
overflow crowd.
Please RSVP by May 25, 2009.

News for March 2009 |
NATE POWELL'S SWALLOW ME WHOLE
NOMINATED FOR LA TIMES BOOK
PRIZE
--First
graphic novel since
1992's MAUS to make the
list--
Top Shelf Productions
is bursting with pride to
announce that Nate Powell's
graphic novel SWALLOW ME
WHOLE has been nominated for
the Los Angeles Times Book
Prize!
 SWALLOW
ME WHOLE is one of five
official finalists in the
category of Young Adult
Fiction, making it the first
graphic novel to be
nominated for this prize, in
any category, since Art
Spiegelman's MAUS won the
Fiction category in 1992!
"I'm honored just to be
considered," says Powell,
"and feel dizzy having my
book even placed in the same
sentence as MAUS."
Although SWALLOW ME WHOLE
was not created exclusively
for young adult readers, it
is fundamentally a story
about the dark,
quiet corners of
adolescence. The book
follows two teenage
stepsiblings, Ruth and
Perry, through the
ups and downs of
school, family, and suburban
restlessness -- all
complicated by the insect
armies, swirling visions,
and haunting voices that no
one else can perceive.
"To be a young person is to
be surrounded at all times
by frightening transition
and the terror of losing
touch with a safe and
familiar world," says
Powell. "Sometimes the only
salvation from that terror
is in what a teenager can
create for themselves."
The LA Times Book Prize
nomination follows months of
critical acclaim for
SWALLOW ME WHOLE's rich
storytelling and dazzling
visuals, which have led some
to call it "the best graphic
novel since Craig Thompson's
BLANKETS."
Douglas Wolk wrote in
the
New York Times that
"Powell's flowing,
impressionistic artwork,
with its ravenous expanses
of negative space, swirls
the reader's perspective
through his characters'
perceptions and back out
again." The Onion's AV Club
agreed that the book
"achieves some stunning
effects with the art and the
lettering" and admired how
"SWALLOW ME WHOLE captures
the desperation of the
clinically obsessed, and how
from the right angle, it can
look like genius." The book
also received an
Ignatz Award from the
2008
Small Press Expo.
"What makes this book so
worthy of acclaim is the way
it immerses the reader in
the life and mindset of a
gifted yet mentally ill
teenager," proclaimed Walter
M. Mayes, a middle school
librarian and one of the
members of the award
committee. "To get a glimpse
of what it must feel like to
be inside such a head can be
overpowering and
disorienting upon first
read, but when reread, the
book offers such literary
power that it is hard to
deny, even if you don't
totally 'get' what is
happening. Teens will find
this book compelling, weird,
scary, and ultimately
affirming."
Nate Powell will be
attending Seattle's
Emerald City ComiCon
(April 4-5) and the SPACE
Expo in Columbus, OH (April
18-19) before traveling to
Los Angeles for the
LA Times Book Prize ceremony
on Friday, April 24. The
ceremony serves as the
kickoff for the LA Times
Festival of Books (April
25-26), where Nate will be a
special guest hosted by Hi
De Ho Comics all weekend.
Top Shelf 2.0 is also
hosting a new online comic
by Nate Powell and Rachel
Bormann, entitled
"Cakewalk," at
http://www.topshelfcomix.com/ts2.0.

Moonstone places the
GREEN HORNET & KATO at the
scene
of the crime in upcoming
prose anthology series:
Legendary
crime fighters to make
triumphant return!
 Moonstone
has announced plans to publish
several original
short story collections
featuring radio, film, comic book
and television heroes
The Green Hornet and Kato.
The debut entry is expected to hit
the streets by late 2009.
Bold newspaper
publisher Britt Reid (the Green
Hornet’s alter ego) along with his
faithful valet and ally Kato have
thrilled audiences with their
daring adventures as they “hunt
the biggest of all game, public
enemies who try to destroy our
America” ever since springing
from the imaginations of George W.
Trendle and
Fran Striker in 1936. Fans
have longed for the green-masked
crime fighter to once again
match wits with and bring down the
criminal underworld.
Like his fictional
granduncle
The Lone Ranger,
The Green Hornet differs from
other masked heroes because he is a
wanted outlaw himself. This is his
‘edge”, which enables him to
effectively destroy crime from
within. The Green Hornet and Kato
stalk their prey from their sleek
rolling arsenal known as the Black
Beauty, whose high-pitched buzzing
engine evokes the memorable “Flight
of the Bumblebee” theme music that
hailed each new radio and television
episode.
 “We’re
obviously thrilled to add The Green
Hornet to our stable of licensed
properties,” said Moonstone
publisher and The Green Hornet
editor Joe Gentile. “As a
huge fan, I’ve dreamed of bringing
back and adding to these great
characters’ legacy. It is an honor
and a responsibility we take very
seriously. I can’t wait to see the
new crime fiction stories
come in from the many talented
authors we have lined up.”
The Hornet’s return
has created quite a buzz among
today’s top writers from mystery,
suspense, science fiction and
pulp fiction. Contributing
authors include
Harlan Ellison,
Max Allan Collins, Ed Gorman,
Mel Odom, Greg Cox, Will
Murray,
Ron Marz and scores more!
Actor
Van Williams, who starred in
the 1960’s television show along
with expert martial artist Bruce Lee
as Kato, will introduce the first
prose volume.
Moonstone tapped
acclaimed former Disney artist
Rubén Procopio, now principal
of Masked Avenger Studios, to art
direct and contribute cover art and
interior illustrations for each
volume. “It’s a dream project to
explore new facets of one of my
all-time favorite masked heroes… and
‘protect the rights and lives of
decent citizens!’” said Procopio,
recalling a memorable line from the
television show.

RETAILER TIPS:
ARE YOU TOASTING
YOURSELF? OR ARE YOU JUST TOAST? |
|
Have you
been waking up and immediately starting
to think of ways to maim yourself
instead of going into work? Does your
stomach turn into knots at the mere
opening of your email?
We have all had less than perfect jobs
where these feelings took over our
lives, but what happens when you feel
this way and you are the boss? Self
employed life is far from stress free.
Burnout can become a living hell for the
business owner with no end in sight.
What follows are some helpful realistic
hints from the pros and, well, those of
us who have been there too.
1. YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS NOW AND IT
REALLY CAN’T WAIT. Sorry Charlie, you
have pushed your luck as absolutely as
far as you can go. If you think you are
burned out, then you probably are. You
can’t put off dealing with this; it’ll
only make matters worse. Stop kidding
yourself. It’s not a phase. It’s not
going to go away on its own. You are
hurting yourself, and potentially your
business and your family. Take care of
yourself now!
2. RECONNECTING WITH YOU. The 12-hour
days aren’t going to go away and neither
are the bills or the rent. Make time in
your day for at least one thing you
truly enjoy. That part-timer really can
handle the store without you. Go in the
storeroom lock the door and eat Jell-o
(or something else non-alcoholic) and
read. Or just sit. You have to do
something for you everyday and it can’t
get shoved aside. And be nice to
yourself; stop the negative voice in
your head saying you could be doing more
or better. If you could get to this
point in life any other way you would
have. Talk to yourself like you would a
friend.
3. EXERCISE. Nature’s picker-upper. If
you have to combine #2 and #3 so be it.
Close the store, walk around the block
for a half hour. Work out before or
after work. If you have a large back
room, get some dumbbells or better yet
hang a heavy bag in the back -- stress
relief and a workout all in one.
4. DON’T CHOKE WHEN YOU START LAUGHING
-- VACATION! (Yes, the “V” word. I am
working on this one myself, by the way.)
When was the last time you really did go
away? Now we both know that your stomach
lining would turn to mush if you tried
to go away for a full week. How about a
long weekend? Even little breaks give
you somewhat of a respite that you
desperately need.
Here’s the deal. Your family and friends
miss who you used to be. You probably do
too. The solution to dealing with your
job is NOT putting in those “couple more
hours” that will finally get you caught
up. Following the above hints will at
least help get you back on the path to
being effective when you are at work and
not just, well, “there."
