Hello Guardians!
Long time no see! Since June when we shared the cover for Issue #5, we’ve been hard at work getting ready for the big push for pre-orders for the brand new Little Guardians Book 1: Trial by Spirit Fire! this will be our first trade paperback with Scout Comics and will be in full color, collecting everything from Issues #0-#5 in one volume. Bringing together from the Prologue – The Birth, Chapter 1 – the Zuchinni Festival, Chapter 2 – Teachers and Students and Chapter 3 – the Anger Demon. That is one hefty volume! The cover price is planned to be $17.99.
Here’s where we need your help: the sales that really help us and will help make Little Guardians Book 2 a reality next year are the preorders we can generate between now and the end of September. THIS IS THE TIME! We need you to call or visit your local comic shop and tell them to order Diamond order code #SEP171870 Little Guardians Book 1 from Scout Comics. The book is in their system and the preorder window is the most important part of this. Ed and I will of course visit conventions to support the book and sell copies far and wide. We are very excited to get this in your hands. And the best way you can help us is to preorder this book.
With your help we can do it!

I’m glad you’ve gotten the book in print and in stores, but I have a question: are you still a webcomic? Can we expect to see Chapter 8 starting here on this site? Is there any point to me keeping the RSS feed in my live bookmarks?
We are! You can! Not soon though, I’m afraid.
We’re currently coloring Book 2 under contract with our publisher which will catch us up all the way to all currently drawn pages. The only way we could afford to do it is if I colored half of it. Our colorist Dann is working on the other half. Dann get’s paid a little from our Patreon and mostly from our pockets. Once these remaining pages are colored, I will be free to resume new art.
Thank you so much for your support, it means the world to us and we completely understand if you check out for a while. If it’s easier, you can always bookmark this site or our facebook or twitter accounts where we will make announcements when new updates resume. I’d say we’re about 40% done coloring Book 2 so it will happen!
Thanks for replying, and cheers for the new year!
Great to hear! Good luck with the coloring, and can’t wait to see new pages in 2018. Been looking forward to it since the hiatus began!
Same!
