I hate to continually be a parrot of what dsumner says, but once again I agree 100%!  I even held out on 2.1 until I could get a printed copy (usually I end up printing things out and then have two copies).

Keeping my fingers crossed for a Monday night release.

And Jeff Dee has confirmed that Bill Willingham has already submitted the script for his new V&V project, and it's in production. So, we've got Enter the Gene Pool, from FGU (which should be out next week); Jack Herman's new project; Bill Willingham's new book; and The Neptune Line coming from FGU. Good times ahead folks, good times, make sure you set some cash aside. 

Lots of outstanding stuff coming; it's a great time to be a V&V fan!!!   

Well I know it won't be tonight as its currently in editing... then the authour has to do a signoff before it goes live. I'll keep you guys posted for sure.

I'm making the final edits this evening... and then sending it for the author's final review and approval. He should sign off by morning, so I'd estimate tomorrow mid day for actual release!

PS... the Neptune Line is probably not going to be next, but will be this summer. I've been asked to do more projects to help get things rolling big; there are several adventures ready to go that just need processing, editing, and electronic conversion, so in the interest of moving the chains for the team,I couldn't say no... it's all very exciting.

I'm still drawing and preparing The Neptune Line, it's just with all the releases we have planned, I'm not sure where in the order it will be, as well as subsequent projects I've got in the hopper.

Will keep everyone in the know

I'm pretty sure I couldn't tell you whether they will be POD or from a print run, but I do know that FGU will have a dead tree product here shortly, a giant that will consist of three PDF releases released as a volume... And I believe the cover price will be ultra reasonable, if not a downright steal.

Yes, great things in store for the fan base!

Um... I can tell you it has a fun plot, a great cast of villains, and some water so everyone with those water-related abilities can have some shine...

ETGP is in final proof with the author today; when he gives the signal....

I know I just scanned the art for another adventure book that has been long awaited; I can't divulge the name of this one, but it should be the next following ETGP.

Also, Ken Cliffe has written two more books that he is thrilled to have released, which I will begin the artwork for probably next week for FGU, which is why The Neptune Line will be delayed.

I am jazzed with all the new stuff!

I see that the author has released the cover for preview, I see no reason why not to post it here too....

Nice cover.  Artwork looks good.

I just downloaded my copy.

Once I get done messing around here, I'll be printing out a copy, as I just like having a hard copy to hold in my hands. I'll Print a FC front cover, on hard stock, over the weekend.

Nothing from Jeff Dee announced yet?

Willingham?! Who ever thought we'd live to see this day.

A little factual clarification to the above post: "Into the Sub-Realm" should in no way be mistaken for a NEW Villains and Vigilantes adventure, let alone one produced with the cooperation of Jeff Dee and myself. This is a manuscript Scott Bizar has been sitting on since approximately 1987. Although my name was put on a credit box on some artwork, my involvement, as far as I can recall, pretty much extends to having read the manuscript one time. The Jeff Dee artwork was produced during that time, as well. This was nearly a quarter of a century ago!

In fact, some of this artwork for Into The Sub-Realm had been posted to another message board and had to be taken down. It seems the dates and copyright notices from Jeff Dee's artwork were removed...

Again, to be clear: This very old project has been put into its current form without the knowledge or cooperation of either Jeff or myself. In my opinion, it is just another sad display from an unauthorized publisher producing unlicensed, unofficial material that utilizes our trademark without our permission. 

There is nothing more to be said on the matter and I will have no further comment on it.

Have a nice day, everybody!

1986, to be exact. Those of you who own a copy of Living Legends can verify this for yourselves by turning to page 134.

I don't see them as trying to block anything but just stating that this is nothing new, rather something FGU has had sitting around for 20 plus years because they stopped publishing new V&V material 20 plus years ago. Trying to promote it as new material is pretty lame on behalf of FGU if you ask me. Yes some new stuff has been put out by them recently, this is old stuff finally seeing the light of day because FGU wants to deal themselves back into the game they walked away from years ago. I can at least say that what you have put out AK (and the stuff from Dave) is new material, regardless of my feelings for FGU.
