PAKLIS #1 is out and the response is positive. I really had no idea what people would think of the first issue. It could have gone ether way in my mind. I'm glad it's going the way it has.
Issue 2 hits stores very soon. June 28 to be exact. I'm really happy with it. I think it's my best work.
If you haven't picked up issue 1 yet, see if you can find a copy and get on board for issue 2.
Here are some of the reviews so far:

Hi , I just want to say how much I adore your work ! When I first looked through Paklis #1 , it took me a while to get used to the art but after I read it , I was completely blown away . Everything works so well together , your panels , colors and writing is sublime . What a work of art . Top of my pull list . Thank you so much for your hard work and passion .
ReplyDeleteAh! Thank you, Bill! I'm glad it ultimately worked for you. You'll see as this series progresses there will be a lot of different art styles. I'll always be trying to match the look to the story.
DeleteI hope you liked #2.
I haven't read #2 yet but I have them pre-ordered up to #5 :) I will eventually get around to it .
