Wayne, are those numbers sold through into the hands of actual readers, or to retailers? If it's to actual readers, you can at least add 1 copy to issues 1-3, since I picked them up this week.

Great story, really like it.

Wayne,
keep at it, buddy. FX is doing really well, art and story-wise, and I hope you'll be able to pick up another mini after these six are out the door.

Add me to the list of satisfied customers.  And I'm a sucker for teams based on the classical Greek elements, so I really enjoyed seeing te team in this issue.

I'd also like to add that whle I thought the pacing and dialogue of the first issue were good but not quite professional caliber, you've quickly ramped up in talent to the point where I think you're well above the average level of talent for writers in the industry today.  I hope you keep at this when issue #6 is done (either with more FX, or with something else entirely) because I'd love to read more of your stuff.

I'm sure you will be able to do more of FX. Feel free to use my comments
for any testimonials.

I'll do a better job about promoting it at the shop I go to.

What happened with the printing on page 10? That page's size is about 75% the size of the rest of the book?

Wayne,

When will I be able to buy an FX action figure?  He should come with some yellowish transparent snap on parts to represent his powers....like a jetpack and a light saber thingie.

John - to be honest, I'd hadn't noticed it. But you're right. I don't know
what happened there. All the pages I sent them were the same size but
we had some color corrections there - one of which still slipped through
the cracks so maybe that had something to do with it.

Mark - I'm just going by the numbers from the monthly sales list that
gets posted on Newsarama, the top 300. But I'm glad to add three more
to the tally. I hope you like the series.

Joe - that was exactly what I was thinking. And maybe a big yellow clear
plastic Robot that has movable arms, legs, and head that his body will fit
inside. We'll see.

And thanks again, everybody. Keep spreading the good word.

Wayne, I finally got a chance to pick up the newest issue today, but I haven't read it yet.  My air conditioning blower went and it is too hot today to lay down and read comics.

I got my ST: AE #2 today too.

Add the Compeat Next Men I got today and JB is in the HOUSE!

My LCS just got FX 4...but they still haven't received FX 3. Supposedly issue 3 is coming in on Wed.

So, I got 4, but I won't open it until I read 3.

Yeah it's great I like it. THe coloring was to my liking and the cover was my favorite so far too. JB's art definitely looks better with flat colors. 4,5 thoulsand is still decent numbers for an indie. It's not like there's been much advertising to remind people the book's still coming out either. Perhaps word of mouth will do the series good.
