Greetings all. As part of a general facelift, FutureQuake Press is moving blog sites. We are heading over to https://futurequake.wordpress.com/ where we will be merging with the Queaquam blog.
All the posts here are being migrated over, and in the next few weeks I'll be working on making sure that https://futurequake.wordpress.com/ is updated with all the content from here.
Thanks to all of you who visited here, and I hope you all drop over to https://futurequake.wordpress.com/ to keep yourself updated with all the news about the latest issues, which drop on Tuesday!

Futurequake 05 on Comixology
Continuing the program of releasing old comics on comixology, we are proud to announce that FutureQuake 05 is about to drop.
This issue was originally released back in the autumn of 2005, at the Brighton expo (The one Dezz Skinn ran and Brendan McCarthy did the promo art for) and FQP shared a table at that gig with Molch-R, who was himself in the SPress at the time with his 'End is nigh book'...
FQ05 also features work by Al Ewing, Mike Carroll, Eddie Robson, Arthur Wyatt and quite a few folks who used to be found around these parts...
The link to the comixology edition is: FutureQuake 05
Enjoy...

Newstime! Summer 2016.
Greetings out there!
Got some news and reviews to pass your way so I'll do a long rambling post that could well get updated lots before the next wave of comics are ready!
First off- Small Press Day was a blast. Myself and NanoBolt attended at both 'The Comic Shop' in Macclesfield and Nostalgia & Comics back in the wastes of Brum on the day.
Macc was a grand trip. It was great meet Dan, catch up with Chris and see a proper nice comic shop. We sold a few comics, talked some nonsense and left the shop with stock of both the Zarjaz summer special and the latest issue of FutureQuake.
Since taking on the initial stock, Dan of TCS Macc, has been back in touch to have more stock! They have had a whopping 10 copies overall. It seems that folk just shy of the Wall really do have better taste in comics than folks further south. Of course if anyone out there wants to dispute that, then let me know how many copies of FQ are stocked in shops in London...
Nostalgia & Comics is the closest thing FQP have to a 'home' shop so it was a treat to be able to sit and actually chat to the staff and other SP dayers there. We met up with Steve of TimeBomb Comics, who was selling copies of Flintlock, which has some lovely lettering if I do say so myself and got to have a nice long chat with long time collaborator Roland Bird, who provided NanoBolt with a sketch of the Legion of Superheroes 'Lightning Lass.' Roland was knocking it out of the park with his sketches that day.
We've had a couple of reviews out there so far:
PIPEDREAM COMICS have some nice things to say, as does COMIC TIME.
New on 27/07/2016 is the review from John Freeman of Down The Tubes. John is perhaps the person in comics whose opinion I respect most. So a positive review from him is a total pleasure.
What else is going on? Well work has begun on the second volume of Neroy Sphinx, with the first new stories set to appear sometime next year.
Of course if anything else turns up I'll do my best to mention it on here!

Small Press Day
Seeing as there are only two days to go till Small Press Day, think it worth reminding folks that this is a vital part of the UK comics scene these days and should be supported.
There are events all over the country- Visit http://www.smallpressday.co.uk/ to see the updated list of what is going on.
I'll be at the Comic shop in Macclesfield between 11 and 1 (or thereabouts depending on traffic) before heading back to the Brum wastes to join in with a massive list of creatives taking part at Nostalgia & Comics between 2-3.
I'll have the latest issues of FutureQuake and the Zarjaz summer special with me, as well as a few copies of the Neroy Sphinx trade. Drop by and say hi.

COMPETITION TIME!
Running from March 1st till April 30th, you can win yourself your very own 'Strontium Dog' badge courtesy of those awesome folk over at Planet Replicas. We have gotten our hands on one badge, and all you need to do to have a chance of winning it is to simply buy Dogbreath or Zarjaz comics.
It really is that simple. Every sale between March 1st and April 30th will receive a raffle ticket for each comic they buy. Then, on May 1st either Dr Bob or Peeps the droid will make the draw and one lucky customer will win the badge.
The more you buy, the more raffle tickets you will get. Worried about buying from overseas? Don't be. If you win, and don't mind paying the postage, then there is no reason not to enter.
The badge is truly stunning and is exactly the same as the badges worn in the Search & Destroy fan film currently in production.
Visit the FQP Shop for the full range of Comics available, and good luck!
