Pixu is a four-way collaborative Horror comic, and it works. The level at which Pixu crept under my skin was unexpected. It’s practically summer! Horror never seems as scary to me when the days are longer, and the weather brightens. But Pixu has that humid, claustrophobic feel to it. It’s all tight spaces and long moments of silence, when everyone seems to be waiting on something to inch close. And when the violence comes, it punctuates. The five terrorized tenants in Pixu should have the natural inclination to flee when things start going very wrong in their living quarters, but they are all compelled to stare just a minute longer into that abyss and watch it creep.Read the full article HERE.
Pixu: The Mark of Evil hits shelves JUNE 17th!!! Pixu is by Becky Cloonan, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba and Vasilis Lolos. This hardcover edition (and it is beautiful, if I do say so myself!) is the collection of Pixu I and Pixu II, which we self-published one year ago.

Lastly, I'd like to point your attention to Comic Book Resources' review of Buffy: Tales of the Vampires. Greg McElhatton writes (and gives us four of five stars!):
I expected to like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires," but I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. For such a simple story, Cloonan and Lolos have done an excellent job. If they want to do more "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires" one-shots, I'd definitely buy them.So I've been getting a lot of positive feedback from this issue! I went into it being a little unsure of myself, but now writing is definitely something I'm going to pursue more seriously in the future. I've also read a few reviews of this Buffy issue that really get the subtleties and symbolism, so I'm pretty happy about that. Makes me feel like I did something right!
So that's it for now, I'm pretty excited to have two books out in the last two weeks! Now, it's back to the drawing board... literally.

Hey!
I just noticed that the Pixu HC isn't on Diamond's list for comics selling on 06/17. Has it been pushed back?

i can't speak for this book specifically, but diamond made some policy changes that makes it difficult for many books to now even make it onto their list.
it's worth looking into different avenues of distribution or look up the ISBN.
