    Jerrell Conner has created a masterpiece in this dark and mystery filled journey into the Apocalypse. A dictator has risen to power and is hunting down anyone who dares speak out against him. Fantastic themes and story telling are joined by Jerrell’s perfectly suited artwork, well above average production quality compared to other indy books out there, make this one of the best reads I’ve had in quite sometime. Book 2 is due out soon, and Jerrell has done a great job expanding his world with the sketchbook and collectable items available through his site theRedr.com. Very Cool for comic fans and Necessary for someone looking for something new that stands out from the rest.NC

    A CALL TO ARMS

    Welcome to Port au Prince… courage be with us all.

    We are sending out a simple message to the world printed on a 5 x 7″ postcard that will inspire yet more courage in the face of the catastrophe that has beset Haiti. Put this card on your fridge, in your office, on your wall. And with this in hand we urge you to keep the people of Haiti, the relief workers, and the doctors on your mind, and in your heart.

    Please contact us immediately if:

    - you would like to lend a hand in this collective effort–whether it be time, labor, or ideas.

    - you are a retailer and would like distribute copies at your store.

    In the near future we will have a list of retail locations in the United States, Canada and abroad where postcards can be picked up in person.

    NC is proud to be working with Best Made Co on this project, please remember the people of Haiti in you hearts and Prayers. NC
