Comics make me sad.

So, Cosmic Cherry, yeah...



We submitted it in both email and hard copy form on the same day. Image's website says this is best and they say email will get you a response faster. We know for a fact that they received the hard copy because it was signed for by Eric Stephenson (for those of you who don't know - he's a big guy there). Then... nothing.

So, we waited a month or so and sent a follow up email, as they say you should do. Then... nothing.

A friend of ours who is part owner of Star Clipper (one of the best comic book stores ever and it's right around the corner from us) said that he knows Eric Stephenson and he would host it on the web for us and send him the link. Awesomeness. Then... nothing.

It sucked. A lot. A "no thanks" would have been a million times better than just nothing. Especially when everything on Image's site said that they Do respond, even if it is just a "no thanks".

All of this, especially the very long (months) drawn out process of never hearing back, kinda just squashed us both. It's not like we thought there was no way they'd turn us down. We just didn't prepare, after spending over a month of over 12 hour days working towards something, that it would fall sooooo flat.

And for me, much more than Jas, it has left a bad comic-icky taste in my mouth.

We are scooping ourselves back up but I feel quite done with Cosmic Cherry (still bitter lil me) and figuring out what our next direction is has been hard. Just wanted to put this out there because I am beyond tired of explaining to people "what's up with Cosmic Cherry?". It's weird how people I didn't even know knew about it and are extremely disappointed in this outcome. But none more than us.
