(Bearing in mind my previous comment about covert assassinations...)<br /><br />Oh yeah...&nbsp; and I managed to snag a very special foreword for the book...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :P<br /><br />Best!<br />-C.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4783519180577735852-7543803313482623937?l=jackavarice.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Maddenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09421525834823243789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783519180577735852.post-28095592631566554372011-11-30T07:54:00.000-08:002011-11-30T07:54:01.986-08:00This is it, folks!&nbsp; The final issue of the first miniseries has HIT THE STANDS!<br /><br />Jack and the team race back to a showdown where it all began - the Isle of Sarouwani in the Caribbean, and a confrontation with death!&nbsp; Black magic, voodoo monsters, and a fight to the finish -- don't miss this issue!&nbsp; The exciting conclusion to the miniseries is waiting for you today!<br /><br />As usual, once you grab it, drop by here and let me know what you think of the book!<br /><br />Also - iPhone wallpaper!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />-C.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pYUKVk1s1B8/TtZRLKPpgfI/AAAAAAAAAGM/J-tSz_t1q_o/s1600/iphone_issue5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pYUKVk1s1B8/TtZRLKPpgfI/AAAAAAAAAGM/J-tSz_t1q_o/s320/iphone_issue5.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4783519180577735852-2809559263156655437?l=jackavarice.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Maddenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09421525834823243789noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783519180577735852.post-42713003273176057642011-11-23T12:14:00.000-08:002011-11-23T12:14:39.908-08:00That's right, folks!&nbsp; Jack Avarice IS The Courier issue #4 is out TODAY!<br /><br />Things are definitely getting dicey for Jack and Sam, and some unexpected SABOTAGE! strands them in the frigid north with a <i>MyStErIoUs assailant</i>, and the clock is running out!&nbsp; Get yourself down to your nearest comics shoppe and pick this issue up before it's too late!<br /><br />Also, iPhone wallpaper!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-juZX79_TNfY/Ts1TyRW_FsI/AAAAAAAAAGE/dcqjaWQ11Yw/s1600/iphone_issue4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-juZX79_TNfY/Ts1TyRW_FsI/AAAAAAAAAGE/dcqjaWQ11Yw/s320/iphone_issue4.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br />Then, when you're done reading, stop by here and let me know what you thought of the issue!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />-C.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4783519180577735852-4271300327317605764?l=jackavarice.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Maddenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09421525834823243789noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783519180577735852.post-37505860711313574632011-11-16T08:51:00.000-08:002011-11-16T08:51:19.620-08:00That's right!&nbsp; Issue #3 is on stands today!<br /><br />As promised, here's an iPhone wallpaper for issue 3!&nbsp; Tell me what you think of the book here!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk3_nAf8plQ/TsPp-WdFD3I/AAAAAAAAAF4/PVE3B-VJ_Lk/s1600/iphone_issue3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk3_nAf8plQ/TsPp-WdFD3I/AAAAAAAAAF4/PVE3B-VJ_Lk/s320/iphone_issue3.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br />Cheers,<br />-C.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4783519180577735852-3750586071131357463?l=jackavarice.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Maddenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09421525834823243789noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783519180577735852.post-87413700419210929412011-11-16T08:48:00.000-08:002011-11-16T08:48:17.327-08:00With issue 3 imminent, I thought I'd share the full version of the who's-who of spies page from issue 2, complete with the three agents that didn't make it to print!
