Elk's Run has risen!
The true seven soldiers of victory, then, are Josh Fialkov, Noel Tuazon, Scott A. Keating, Datsun Tran, Jason Hanley, Jason Rodriguez and Christopher Arundel - the fine men responsible for bringing Elk's Run to the reading public.
I've been apey over this book since well before the release of the first issue, having nabbed an early review copy and been totally blown away. In spite of a series of publishing misadventures, the book quickly established a fiercely loyal readership (comparable, I'd say, to those kids who never stop telling me to read Scott Pilgrim).
I did another big review of the third issue, loved the fourth, and eagerly waited for the rest. And just when things looked bleakest --
-- the announcement came!
For those just coming in:
Elk's Run is the story of a small-town militia. After years of peaceful insularity, the town of Elk's Ridge is rocked when a drunk driver kills one of their children while trying to escape through the only tunnel out of town. The town's brutal public revenge on the man finally spurs some of the children to reject their parents' way of life, just as the militia's war against the outside world is about to begin.
That's just the start of the story. The book's just been nominated for a staggering seven Harvey awards, and I'm psyched to see the creative team get the recognition they deserve, but I'm even happier just to see my chance to finish reading the story come around the bend.

To be a noble lenient being is to procure a amiable of openness to the world, an ability to trusteeship unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in uncommonly outermost circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly impressive thither the get of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a jewel, something somewhat tenuous, but whose mere special handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
