A note from my publisher…

Battle Quest Friends and Family,

This is it! Time to order The Young No’madds #1 for guaranteed delivery is upon us! This new #1 launches a new series full of new adventures, new characters, and new stories for BQC. We have two unique covers, and our special 1:5 limited edition incentive cover was created by industry legend Inkpot, Kirby, and multiple Eisner Award winner Bill Sienkiewicz!

This is also the first time we’ve had a book as part of the industry-renowned Diamond Comics Final Order Cut Off program! Being a part of this program is a sign of trust from our distributor, who we have proven to have been consistently on time and great to work with. Getting on this list has taken some brands over 20 years (!!!), but Battle Quest Comics was offered to join in only two years. 

We want to show retailer partners and our distributors that there’s an excited audience out there for BQC books, especially The Young No’madds #1, so here is how to do that:

  1. Go to any of the links provided below to order yourself a copy of The Young No’madds #1 before September 13, 2024
  1. If possible, subscribe to the series to show the retailers that you’ll be returning month after month for The Young No’madds.
  1. Visit Comic Shop Locator  https://comicshoplocator.com/

or Pullbox powered by PREVIEWSworld.com https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/AUG241512   to find a local comic shop near you from which to preorder The Young No’madds. This gives you a great way to support a local business in your community and Battle Quest!

  1. Consider buying an additional copy for a friend or a Free Little Library around town! The more copies of the first issue a store sells, the more likely it is to keep ordering more for subsequent issues.  
  1. Talk about BQC and The Young No’madds on social media! Retailers use social media as their primary news source, so the more they see our name and titles, the better.

If you don’t have a local comic shop nearby, these shops will ship directly to you!
