Well, folks, we’re back. Just barely. Between the parents’ two-week visit and a plethora of other projects — including the mad dash to finish the first issue of Omega Comics Presents — The Utopian barely returned on time. But here we are anyway!

And I have brought you good news! The deluxe cover for The Utopian #2 has arrived, and in usual Hernan Valencia form, it’s completely badass:

Yep. If you want to see it in all its glory, you need to BUY THE COMIC. Why should you? Because, um, it features never-before-seen material such as a new splash page, letter column, sketches and other stuff. And that cover! All for only $5.

Or if you’re a cheapskate, you could buy the standard edition, which features an almost-equally-rad cover by me and Steve Downer, and it’s only $3:

So there ya go. See you on Friday!
