Mom’s Cancer, the Eisner-winning webcomic by Brian Fies that was later published in hardcover, is now being re-serialized at GoComics.com (on a weekly update schedule, I think).

In a catch-up post, writer Brad Abraham includes the following news of his indy comic series Mixtape. The ink is dry and I can finally announce Mixtape will be returning to comic book stores later this year. I just signed a deal with the brand new Space Goat Productions to publish it exclusively. The caveats: we’re reprinting Vol 1. (so Mixtape 1-5) and publishing it bi-monthly starting in September 2015. Existing fans will have to wait until the summer of […]

It’s a short story collection, which means we have to wait longer to find out what’s going on with Frances and Vickie, from the two previous issues, but it’s in full color. And honestly, anything Rilly draws, I’ll read. Issue #4 can currently be ordered with Diamond code APR15 0977, and there is a PDF preview available at that link.
