IT'S ME AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TELL YOU FOR TWO MONTHS.
I THINK I RUPTURED SOMETHING.

I made X-Men canon. Even if I never wrote another word in this universe, I made canon happen, and honestly, that is so huge it's a little bit hard to breathe.

Contact your local comic book store! Pre-order X-MEN GOLD ANNUAL #2! Get multiple copies JUST IN CASE.

TELL A FRIEND.
TELL AN ENEMY.
TELL YOUR MOTHER.
TELL AN ENEMY'S MOTHER.
THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
I HAVE THE X-MEN NOW.

So…

1. I am finally home from today's whirlwind tour of the West Coast.
2. I am going to try replying to tweets, but OMG THE TWEETS. So if I skip you, it's failure to cope, not malice.
3. ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?!

(Note: This is not me teasing "ooooo, I'm gonna get an ongoing." This is me putting into the universe "I want one, I think I would do well with one, I think I would make people happy with one, and I am going to do everything I can to make it happen.")

That "expensive but unique" thing I talked about buying the other day?
It was the original art. For my cover.

(And like, I couldn't wait to be able to say airily "oh, I can afford it," because let's be real, this thing is gorgeous, some collector would have snapped it up and I would never have been able to stare at it in rapt awe again.)

Hey uh so WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THE X-MEN SOME MORE.
BECAUSE I'M WRITING FOR THE X-MEN NOW.
DID YOU HEAR?
I'M AN X-WRITER.

— Seanan McGuire (@seananmcguire) May 23, 2018

It's going to be a beautiful book. The cover, by @DjibrilMP, is breathtaking. I haven't seen @failla_comics's interiors yet, but I know his work, and I have no concerns. I couldn't ask for a better first-time-out team.

So! Here is what I would love for all of you to pretty pretty pretty please do, and also tell your friends to do, until the world rises up and buys the entire first print run like a mighty wave of "please give Seanan more to do, we wanna see her with the brakes off":

(For bonus points, say "I would like to own TWO copies, one to read and one to place reverently upon a shelf, that I might gaze upon its untouched glories forevermore." Although maybe in your own words, we don't wanna freak people out.)

"But wait," you may say. "I don't have a local comic book store!"
Oh, have we got you covered.

— Seanan McGuire (@seananmcguire) May 23, 2018

Yesterday while I was at Flying Colors (in Pleasant Hill, California) telling @flycojoe the amazing news, we discussed the fact that I had promised him (WHEN I WAS TWELVE) that my first signing would be in his store.

If you do not have a viable LCBS…

1. Wait until after 11am PT, as time zones exist.
2. Contact Flying Colors.
3. Place your pre-order with them.
4. Sometime shortly AFTER August 1st, receive your signed copy in the mail.
