Submission Thread: Previews Spotlight #002: December 2007

I'm starting to accept submissions for the Previews Spotlight #002 episode which will cover the December 2007 Previews.

Ideally the submissions would be only a minute or two long and in addition to the basic information of the publisher, title, issue number and price, give a short and compelling reason why someone should pick up that comic book. In other words, market and sell that comic. Think of it as a short radio commercial for the item. Keep it clean and family friendly. If the comic book itself is for a more mature audience, mention that and who would like it and who might not. The idea is to help readers find the right comics for them. This is essentially a matchmaking service between comics and readers.

If you need a little more time, take it but try to keep things focused and concise. Also, please name the files with the title and issue number of the item and your name so I can keep things organized.

If you are going to submit something, please post what which item you are going to do so we can avoid duplicates and cover as wide a range of items as possible.

This is in addition to the monthly Previews conference call that Bob and I will be holding on Friday, December 7th. http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2//i ... ntry687278

If you have any questions about the Previews Spotlight, please post here and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible.

The deadline for emailing me the submissions for the December Previews is the end of Saturday, December 8th. I'll try to edit together the episode and release it as quickly thereafter as I can.

Sending you one right now for some comic called "Bushi Tales" on pg 311. Sounded pretty interesting and the cover looked cool. :wink:

Consider those yours and if you want to claim a few more once you get Previews, that works too.

Bob, thanks again on that. I don't know what's crazier- people not picking up BT3 for under $2 and a free sketch or Dave saying he'd draw them all! :shock:

I know I'll be ordering at least one- maybe more... :wink:

Ok as I'm going through previews I think I'm going to have a couple more to add to it if I can get it recorded in the next night or so.

Is that OK with you guys?
