Seconds Out

Published Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:00:02 -0600

Bryan Lee O'Malley has announced that his next comic, Seconds, will be a little later than expected.

I hurt my shoulder last summer and couldn't work for a few months and unfortunately the book had to be delayed because of it.

I'm back to work on it now, but it won't be out until………

………….2014……………

……Sorry………………………

*dies*

I was about halfway through writing/penciling the book when I had to stop, and it was really daunting to get back to work on it. That's why I've been doing side projects recently like the Young Avengers cover and Battle Royale poster… it's been helpful to work on smaller projects as I warm up from my time off.

Anyway, I hate talking about this behind the scenes stuff and I'm not here to complain about my cushy life but I'm going to have to explain this delay eventually and this is why: because of my health. I had to take a frustratingly long break in order to repair my body, and during that time off I've been working hard on fitness and stuff so this doesn't happen again.

When I found out the book would have to be delayed into 2014 it was maybe the saddest day of my life…

I will continue to do more status updates on Seconds throughout 2013 as I get anywhere near finishing it. (You may have noticed I haven't talked about it much since last summer; this is why…)
