Comics Now Issue #2

According to David Hedgecock at APE Entertainment, Issue #2 has been printed and delivered to the folks at Diamond. Diamond is expected to distribute the magazines the second or third week of March. I'm still working on my strip for issue #3. I'll post some roughs shortly, Stay Tuned!
