If you want to receive an email notice for the release of Issue #2, please join our updates listserv. It is on the Buy The Book page.

Kevin Ferris of the Philadelphia Inquirer talks about the book in his Back Channels column today. We met Kevin at CPAC and we’re happy that he was interested in the book!

We also met Erik of No Pasaran! at CPAC. Erik’s mentioned us today too. We were able to see a copy of Erik’s graphic novel General Leonardo at CPAC, too. Now we have to figure out how to get a copy from France!

We had recent dicussions of the book on Flopping Aces and FrontPage Magazine. Special thanks to Jamie Glazov of FrontPage for giving us an interview!

Fausta, Colossus, LIBERTAS and Icarus picked up on Jamie’s article. We met Fausta at CPAC last month and Dirty Harry from LIBERTAS ok’d a plug for the book in a comment earlier this year.

We’ll be selling the comic book at CPAC this coming week. We’ll be in attendance on Thursday, Feb. 7 and Friday, Feb. 8.

A poster named “rightgrafix” was nice enough to pick up on the book and posted a FreeRepublic notice. Thanks!

The FR staff have taken it down, though

Michelle Malkin gave us a blurb today! Thanks Michelle! I wonder where she stands on the Marvel vs. DC issue.

Chuck Sobietti was a seventeen-year veteran of the U.S. military. He’d seen it all -  Gulf War I, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan - but nothing in his experience could prepare him for one fateful day in Iraq and its aftermath.

Part political thriller, part war story, and part “classic” action comic book, Matamoros follows one of America’s heroes in the “Long War” - an ordinary guy who discovers that  only extraordinary situations exist when the enemy is a protean entity which refuses to adhere to the laws of war or the laws of civilized nations.

Written by Sleet and Darius LaMonica, and illustrated by John Cox of the Cox & Forkum political cartoon team,  Matamoros is the first comic book focusing on the U.S. military’s fight against radical Islamists.
