• MUCH TO REPORT!
Okay, so thing have been pretty silent around here since June, but with good reason. Much is in the works here at Glitchwerk Studios --finished issues, more preview pages, and a ton of supplimental matieral. We suggest you keep an eye on this site, as they'll be plenty of material you won't want to miss. In the meantime, here's a general rundown of what we've been up to...
..TITANIUM RAIN #1 in stores! After a highly successful debut at the San Diego Comic Con, Titanium Rain #1 is now in stores. Don't have your copy yet? Order here.
..PROGRESS! Issue #2 is complete. We will have an eight page preview posted later this month. In the meantime, we're busy hammering away on issue #3 and new supplimental material to for the site.
..Speaking of Comic Con! Things went great this year. We met a lot of fans, moved a lot of books, and basked in thh glory of all things geek. For the full story, visit our blogspot site, THE HANGAR.
..A great review! Broken Frontier recently posted an excellent review of Titanium Rain #1, saying, "The juxtaposition of the concepts of humans and the cold strategy of the art of war or even the ways of Mother Nature is a stroke of genius and a little more profound than what your average war comic puts on display. This is not satire. It is the bitter truth in all its ugliness."

..Another great review! Mike Colbert at the Comics Bulletin says, "This is writing of an extraordinarily high caliber... Not often does a book come along that combines such a level of intellect, tension, an amazing look and action."

• PUBLISHER ARCHAIA'S RESTRUCTURING
...or, for the love of dog, people, calm the hell down. Things are fine. Seriously.
In mid-May our publisher, Archaia Studios Press, announced the company was undergoing a restructuring due to co-founder Aki Liao’s personal decision to depart ASP. “Mark and I started ASP Comics as a hobby business in classic ‘two-guys-in-a-garage’ fashion, and that hobby business has grown well beyond its initial size and scope,” said Aki Liao. “It’s been an amazing ride, and I enjoyed meeting a lot of wonderful people along the way, especially the talented group of creators that I’ve had the good fortune to work with. It is with a sad heart that I depart as I’m no longer able to give the company the kind of commitment it requires and wish everyone at ASP the best for the future.”
As a creative team with Archaia Studios Press, we feel a responsibility to assure our readers that ASP is in good standing, not at risk of going out of business, and Titanium Rain issue #1 will make it’s debut at the San Diego Comic Con in July. We are confident ASP will continue being a great company with great books. As a company grows there are always stepping stones like this that arise along the way.
Other ASP creators have voiced similar support, such as David Peterson (Mouse Guard), mpMann (Innana’s Tears), Josh Hechinger (Grave Doug Freshley), Dave Moran (Robotika), A. David Lewis (Some New Kind of Slaughter), and Tom Pinchuk & Kate Glasheen (Hybrid Bastards).
