We didn't know if you'd like it. We didn't know if you'd buy it. We didn't know if we could afford to do more than four issues of JOYRIDE.

But you did. And you did. And now we can.

JOYRIDE is now an ongoing series, and it is all because of you. I can't tell you what it means to Collin, Marcus, Irma, Jim and myself to get to expand our plans and tell the longer, stranger tale of Uma Akkolyte's Big Space Escape. You made this happen through your support, your tweets, your fan art (!), your passion.

Now, you gotta stick with us and make sure we go the distance.

Issue #2 drops on 5.25.16. Go get it. Go get three copies. Bring them to school. Bring them to work. Tell your friends to get on board. Make more fan art (!!). Keep the dream alive.

JOYRIDE CONTINUES in just TWO WEEKS. See you then.
