   This section is devoted to comments, questions, and fawning praise for the first RUNNERS story arc, Bad Goods. I know the graphic novel has been available for a few years now, so some of you may have read the entire story already. To be fair to any new readers that are enjoying the story for the first time here on RUNNERSUNIVERSE, please bear in mind when posting not to give away any important spoilers that occur during the story.

   Thanks and enjoy!

   Very excited about this! I've been trying to sell the trade to customers in the store (to varying degrees of success) and having this online is going to be a great marketing tool.

   Glad to hear you're excited about it (and even happier that you've been talking it up!). I had concerns that some stores might see the online availability as a deterrent to print sales, which certainly could be true in some cases. But I'm more inclined to think as you do, that the online work will actually get more people interested in the book itself. Feel free to let all your customers know about the site, and thanks for the support!

   On that topic, when will the print version of the second volume be available? And will it come out in individual issues, or as a trade. I like to take a book with me so wait time can be useful time. I can't read a web comic while on the go.

   I won't be releasing the story in single issue form, since the webcomic is taking the place of that, but I'm a big fan of graphic novel collections, especially ones loaded with goodies. So I definitely plan to collect The Big Snow Job into graphic novel form once it finishes posting online. I don't have any set release date right now since it's still a ways off, but as the time draws nearer, I'll certainly let everyone know!

   Well, on a positive note, I won't have to decide if I want to get the singles, or wait for the trade.
   On the other hand, it sounds like a long wait for the trade.
   Oh well. I wonder which will see print first, The Big Snow Job or The Wise Man's Fear.

   A Runners messageboard! Cool! Now I get to harass Sean in his own "home".

   Sean, my aspiration is to become the first banished member of the Runners messageboard. What do I need to do to earn that honor?

   And here I thought that was my wife Peggy's job. Ha ha. Hmm... actually, she helps moderate these forums and is an administrator as well, so maybe I'LL be the first one to get banished from my own site.

   Wow! This is big news Sean!

   Having Runners on-line is a big gamble but i do understand your point.

   I'm a fan of this series and I own the the episode ''Bad Goods'' which I order via your web site a will ago.

   I already passing the word about your work now being available on-line to everyone.

   Hope you reach your goal this way.

   I can't wait to see a trade paper back available for the news series.

   Cheers!

   Dave.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for passing the word around about the site! That's the hope: that everyone who knows and likes the series will get some new people on board who now have no obstacle to trying out the book.

    Hi Sean,

    It took me awhile before I registered on the forum, but I have been here since you around the time you started putting up the site. I passed your newsletter about the site on to Comic Related, and it's great to hear that some people from there have been checking the series out here.

    I have been a fan of Runners since I met you a few years back at a show (2003 I think), and the series remains in my favorites boxes among my comics collection. I hadn't seen the remastered version of Bad Goods #1 before (hey, I have the classic master), but it's great to see it here.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi Scott! Welcome to the forums and thanks for passing my announcement on to Comic Related. It's great when readers are psyched enough about a series to help spread the word. Especially since I think potential new readers trust other people like them to tell them what they like, rather than creators hawking their own wares, since those are obviously rather biased opinions.

    Anyway, glad to have you on board and I hope you're enjoying the remastered version of issue #1!
