NEW GrimJack fans, gather here
This is a companion to, predicatably, the OLD GrimJack fans entry. There was some concern up in the Cyn-Times section from some of the old fans who wanted to talk about ALL the series but didn't want to ruin any surprises for NEW readers. So I thought we could solve it here in Munden's; what better place?
Here, we keep the talk ONLY to what has been published thus far in KILLER INSTINCT or the LEGEND OF GRIMJACK tpbs as they come out. As the writer, what I'm real interested in in is -- what did you think? What brought you to GrimJack? Why did you buy it? Do you find it interesting, accessible? Do you plan on sticking around for the rest of the miniseries? Have you bought the TPB and, if so, do you plan to buy more in the series?
Straight serious -- I love and honor the old fans because they made this possible but we NEED you new fans as well to be a success and you're in my mind when I write the book. It's not just hype that I want your feedback; it's my way of gauging how what we done either works or doesn't work. So settle in, get comfortable -- and let me know.
Much appreciated.

John, Tim, Mike and the gang - OH MY GOD, THE GRINNER IS BACK! I come back from 5 (five) incredibly beer filled vacation days in Ft. Liquordale, Florida and I visit my favorite local comic book store (The Fantasy Factory in Lakeland, hello) and GRIMJACK is back! How good can my vaction be? I have been a fan from BACK IN THE DAY. I never wrote, but then I never had a'puter that got the letter to you before 6 month's time, either.
I plan on writing you a letter soon showcasing that I actually have intellect. But for now, let me say that I have visted many beaches, I have drank many beers and many women AND HOLY SHIT!!!!!GRIMJACK IS BACK!!!
THANK YOU! KILLER INSTINCT WAS... well, killer. Jeez, that was lame. I have to go to sleep now.
KUDOS TO YOU ALL! I'm on board, amigos! With anyone I can bring with me! - The Big Leeboski

Glad to see yer back! Been missing the series and had just dug up my old collection when this new stuff came out... and I had just begun cutting back on comics too!

John, Tim, and Mike,
I heard about Grim Jack from Jimmy Palmiotti and Beau Smith. The original comics were published in between when I was 4 and 11 so I didn't get the chance to read them.
When the new mini came out, I figured I'd try it out.
I dig it...a lot. I was a fan of Hawkworld and of the Spectre series; and Grim Jack just helps affirm the fact I'm a fan of both.
The sci-fi-ish mercenary/cop/adventurer is a neat concept which is done perfectly here (and the fact John Gaunt is named after a Shakespeare character helps).
Great art and great stories. I look forward to the next TPB.
