The Utopian: Foundation – a webcomic by Pj Perez

Yeah, I pulled out one of the tropiest of tropes. So?

(Flats by the wonderful Ali Cooney-Uribe.)

In other news, IN CASE YOU FORGOT, Emerald City Comic Con starts in FOUR DAYS. Believe it or not, I am actually like 80% packed for it. I have a new banner, new business cards, new buttons, new art prints, and perhaps most importantly, I have new books sitting at the hotel (fingers crossed!), including a trade paperback collection of this very webcomic:

That’s probably not the final cover, but it is the one I’ll have for sale at ECCC, and it includes not only all 170 strips published thus far, but the six that you haven’t seen yet! OMG, right? That’s because this collection isn’t officially coming out until the spring, but if you happen to be headed to ECCC, you’re gonna get a sneak preview. This is a book six years in the making, so, um, it’s kind of a big deal.

Anyway, I’ll be at Artist Alley MM13 with this book, the first volume of The Utopian, a bunch of other stuff, and the VERY SAME PINS that the cast of The Utopian Foundation have been seen wearing at the gala:

Come by and mention you saw this post and I’ll throw you a button.
