incredulousTopic: The Confessional
Well it was bound to happen - every silver lining has a touch of grey.
The Confessional was recently published in the 803 Studio anthology Sequential Suicide and so far reaction has been good! We got a mixed review in Newsarama, but that is ok! Overall it was good, the reviewer just wasn't crazy about the end.
However, the story was also slated to apper in the Slam Bang anthology by Fan-Atic Press. This apparently is no longer the case. Although originally part of the anthology, the publisher has pulled it. I do not know why. I was not contacted at all. Indeed, several stories were cut from the list. The publisher on his Yahoo site had said those dropped from this book are going to appear in the next issue. That now has changed again, as the theme for the next issue is is "true stories" which the Confessional clearly is not. Again, I was never contacted about what the heck is going on over at Fan Atic press, but it is safe to say that the Confessional will not be printed by them.
But not to worry. Sequential Suicide is a great book. It can be ordered at http://www.comixpress.com/ There are some great stories in there by some very talented folks. So check it out or ask your LCS for it!
Ciao for now.
