Quick JOHNNY RECON #2 Update! Just got word from the printer that our books will be printed next week!  They could have been printed sooner, but they offered to print them on their brand new presses coming in next week, where they said they’ll look twice as nice! I’m down with that and I’m sure you all are too. Thanks for being so patient, Scott and I will get those out to you as quickly as we can! Stay tuned! M!TCH

Hi Rangers! Johnny Recon got some love on the G4 Network’s Attack of the Show last night! During a short feature on Kickstarter, images from our Kickstarter campaign and the book, appear a few different times. Very cool! I’m a huge fan of the show so this is one of those little giddy moments for me. Now if only Olivia Munn was involved, sighhh. Johnny Recon’s first TV appearance! http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/webtools/70316/Get-Cash-from-the-Internet.html M!TCH

JOHNNY RECON Reaches its Pledge Goal on KICKSTARTER.COM!! A few days ago you people (Yeah! YOU people!) made two independent artists pretty much the happiest two people on the planet (Maybe even OTHER planets!). Not only did we reach our pledge goal, but we filled out our highest reward (Exciting!) and we were KICKSTARTER’s Project of the Day (It just so happened it fell on a weekend with a holiday, so we were Project of the Day for like 3 days)! We really can’t thank you guys enough, so we went to one of our neighborhood shops and shot this little thank you video for you guys. These are not actors! (which becomes pretty obvious, you could make a drinking game out of how many times I look off camera in these videos.) Click HERE for our special Video Thank You! We still have a lot of time left for this project here on Kickstarter and any extra funds we get we will use towards attending more conventions and the publication of issue #3! So please keep spreading the word, because you know we will be! Again, thank you guys, you’re the bee’s knees! M!TCH

TWART (Twitter + Art) Over the last year I’ve made a lot of great friends and a LOT of really good illustration and comic connections via Twitter. Recently a group of 15 or so of these great comics professionals and I started picking characters for us to sketch on the same days. Thor Thursdays etc. Well a couple days ago, Chris Samnee (DC’s The Mighty, Marvel’s SIEGE: Embedded, etc.) took the bull by the horns and we’ve now officially amassed and started a weekly blog based off this concept! The idea is that each week we’d rotate and pick a new character. Then you have five days to post your illustration to the blog. We unofficially started with RONIN (Clint Barton, Marvel) but now officially we’ve started the blog with Mitch Breitweiser’s (Captain America, The Futurists, Marvel sequential artist) pick of Zorro! Since we started posting last week we’ve gotten a lot of great internet press ( http://ow.ly/YjRW ) and I couldn’t be more excited to be lumped in with this great group of artists. I’ve had an amazing last couple weeks, both in my career and personal life (I mean HELLO, we reached our goal and became Project of the Day on Kickstarter!). To be included with these guys is just unreal. So I urge you all to keep checking out our work over at the Comic TWART blog… http://www.comictwart.blogspot.com As for the humongous news about reaching our goal and the future of JOHNNY RECON on Kickstarter, I just finished editing a Thank You video we put together last night and I’ll post that first thing in the morning. Thank you all! M!TCH
