I have made several mentions of the self-published comics Solar Flare by James Haick and Branco Jovanovic, which was recently picked up by Scout for publishing. This is a book I have been a fan of since I originally ordered copies of when I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about it. Needless to say, I am very excited that the book was picked up by Scout, and more excited that I would be able to pick up the future issues from my local comic shop. I have been talking to James Haick, and he agreed to allow me to run an exclusive 12 page preview (ten if you don’t count the cover and first page) of the story. Check it out below.

I can also say, the action really ramps up in the 2nd-6th issues, and all six of the first self published issues can be ordered at the Solar Flare Store.

Love the premise. Will be adding to my pull list.
A couple of months ago I received an exclusive cover of Solar Flare from Court at Blind Box Comics. Phenomenal book. I would also like to mention that comic book fans here are sorely missing out in not subscribing to Blind Box Comics. Awesome books every month! If it wasn’t do blind box comics I would not have been able to read the first issue of Solar Flare. Thanks CHU and thank you Court at Blind Box Comics!! Sorry for the misspelling words.

Court picked up the book for the box after we ran the story. Court is a smart man and knows when something is and looks good. Needless to say, Court, and Blind Box Comics are friends of the site. We inboxed the first one which you can watch here. https://youtu.be/6hlLMw8NGbI you need to see what I got in the box.
Just watched your video. That Enormous comic was Awesome!!!!!
Yeah it was. I was super stoked for it.
OMG!! Wish I knew about BB then. Ugh! Really sweet Enormous comic.
I have a subscription to Blindbox, and have been getting some great comics.
LOVED this initial 6-issue run. I actually have two sets of the initial Arc … curious if the new release will have any added content…meaning, is there any reason for us to re-buy?
I went big on this when I heard about Scout picking it up. I have a ton of issue one and variants.
We are doing re-edits/ lettering for the first 3 issues.
Ladies and gentlemen, the writer, James Haick himself.
If you are speculator and investor, yes!
I’m a sucker for a story where you start with the bad shit and then flashback to months earlier and how you got there! Really like the atmospheric art too. So I’ll be getting this. Apologies if been mentioned in another post Tony, but when is the first Scout issue coming out? Unless James wants to answer?!
The Scout edition of #1 comes out the first week of April. It will be solicited in next months Previews which I believe comes out next week. It’ll come out monthly.
James. Welcome by the way. Glad to see you over here. I do love when creators come on and comment.
I’ve loved your website for a long, long time! It’s a pleasure to be here!
Many thanks James, I’ll be making sure I pre-order well in advance!
I hopped on this book early and I’m glad I did. I’m going all in and picking this to be the book of the year.
When you order from their website, how good do they package the comics?
I personally send them myself and use SOLID packaging. I’m a life long collector myself and I HATE bad packaging.
Thanks for letting me know. Just finished placing my order. I guess I missed the regular covers, but I got some of the painted covers and they look great.
The painted covers are the regular covers. Sorry for the confusion, Going to fix that now.
James packs very well.
I also ordered the backpack. Lol. It’s rad.
I received my Solar Flare order from James last week and the books, 15 in all, arrived in perfect condition and in a very timely manner.
I ordered a set a few months back as well as a few variants, can anyone tell me what the prints runs were for regular and variants covers.
Thanks.
3000 regular 300 variants I believe

Thanks Anthony.
No worries.
Got a prep guide that they handed out at Baltimore Con 2015. I’ve been a fan ever since.
