Dear readers,
It’s been a while! Life ended up stormier than expected in my corner of the universe these past six months, but I’m back to deliver some good news: Volume 2 will be launching in the Philippines this week, and production for Volume 3 is getting started!
We’re holding a small gathering of our readers and friends on April 27th, 4PM-8PM at Manila Middle Ground, a creative space owned by our very own John Ray. We’d love to see you there. :)
We’ll be selling copies of Volume 2, signing any Maharlika books or merchandise you buy or bring with you, and just getting to know you wonderful people who we are lucky to call our readers and supporters.
Use this link to RSVP and pre-order so we know to expect you!
Along with the new volume, we’ll also be releasing a second edition of Maharlika Vol. 1 under our new imprint RAYGUN. This includes 13 pages of bonus material not included in the original print run—including The Kafka Papers Pt. 1 and other worldbuilding puzzle pieces that you haven’t seen. You can get the new edition in the original red cover or this beautiful new variant by John Ray…
And lastly… we’ll be selling John Ray’s first shirt design for Maharlika as well! Personally excited to put this on and brandish the Maharlikan sun and John Ray’s art wherever I go.
Please join us! We’ll continue to post chapters and updates here a bit after we release them in print—I’ll post more details on that online release timeline once I have them. But in the meantime, it would be great to see you in person if you can make it!
Thank you always,
Rexy
I’m so glad to be seeing this newsletter active! It’s definitely among the top ten best Filipino comic art I’ve ever seen. Easily.
Can't join (I'm in Davao) but would like to buy a copy of Vol 1 and 2 :)
