“…Or Give Me Death” #4 is out TODAY!

OGMD4_C1It’s here!! The thrilling conclusion to the Black Coat’s second mini series, “Or Give Me Death”, hits stores today – just in time for the holidays! Need some last minute gift ideas for your favorite comic reader? The whole series is now in stores and can be read from start to finish. (Whew, that took waaaaay too long.) I really want to thank all of the fans, family, friends, and fellow comic creators that stood by us and stuck with us while we worked to get to this point. There were a lot of reasons that this book got delayed the first time out, but I’m glad to say that it’s all finally out there now and ready for BC fans to enjoy. I honestly hope it meets or exceeds everyone’s expectations. I also want to give a HUGE “thank you” to Dean Kotz. He is a tremendously talented artist and was fantastic to work with. This series never would have gotten finished if not for your hard work and dedication, Dean. You rock! Thanks!! If you haven’t seen the book yet or you want a sneek peek before you buy, you can check out some preview pages HERE.  So… what’s next you ask? Well that’s easy. The OGMD trade paper back, of course! Yes, we’re not leaving all of our TPB readers out in the cold. We will be collecting the series into a trade very soon. It should go on sale this Spring as a matter of fact. For everyone that can’t wait, though, rush out and buy the rest of the series today and for those of you who can, look for the TPB around April.  Either way, I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks. So feel free to drop us a line and lay it on us. Merry Christmas, everyone!!
