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.
