Wherefore art thou, Alter Ego #136 and Back Issue #85 in comics shops?

A lot of patient TwoMorrows customers have been waiting for Alter Ego #136 and Back Issue #85 to arrive at their local comics shop for over a month. Long story short, Diamond Comic Distributors misplaced all the copies we shipped to their warehouse, and they’ve been frantically looking for them ever since. We knew they had to be there somewhere, cause Diamond signed for and accepted the delivery way back in early November. But with all the thousands of items they handle each month, looks like it was our turn to be victim of a glitch in their system.

Well, the good news is that, late last Friday, Diamond finally found them! They’re putting them into the shipping queue this week, and should have them in stores by Dec. 23.

HOWEVER: That’s also the date that Alter Ego #137 (the issue AFTER the one they misplaced) is scheduled to be in stores, right on time. So it’s likely you’ll see two issues appear on the same day. (Which perhaps isn’t the worst thing, since those two AE issues are the first and last parts of our big TwoMorrows magazine crossover, that’s running through all our mags this month, which includes Back Issue #85, Comic Book Creator #10, Kirby Collector #66, BrickJournal #37, and Draw #31, all of which will be on sale in December as well.)

I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but at least Diamond found them! Thanks for your patience, everybody.

The TwoMorrows crossover starts today!

AE49 Trial Cover.qxdBI24_COV
Today, we’re shipping both Alter Ego #136 (a bonus-size $9.95 issue), and Back Issue #85. But astute fans who have seen it are already asking: What in the world is going on with the last two-page spread in each issue?

It’s the start of a top secret, all-encompassing TwoMorrows Crossover that we’ve been planning with all our magazine editors for several months. Each of our November-December releases (even BrickJournal, our LEGO magazine) features a special two-page spread, and they all interconnect to form one massive image, showcasing the efforts of nearly 100 of the comics industry’s top talents!

But what, pray tell, could possibly bring so many people together for this one “jam” project? There’s clues in each new magazine release, in this order:

Alter Ego #136 (out now)
Back Issue #85 (out now)
Comic Book Creator #10 (ships November 25)
Jack Kirby Collector #66 (ships November 25)
BrickJournal #37 (ships November 25)
Draw #31 (ships November 25, and contains a key to who drew what)

And the final, big reveal will be in Alter Ego #137 (shipping in December).

So as they say, “collect ’em all,” join them together, and enjoy!

A big issue on little LEGO building!

We spotlight Microscale building in BrickJournal #36, which is shipping now. You won’t believe how these builders can get to the essence of a design, eliminate extraneous details, and capture the look they’re after with fewer and smaller LEGO bricks.
