Amazing Joy Buzzards/Aqua Leung writer Mark Andrew Smith dropped us a note about a contest the art site Satellite Soda is holding. The deadline for submissions is midnight Pacific Sept. 23:
To celebrate the second volume of Amazing Joy Buzzards titled “Monster Love” (Well, technically it is the third volume and all-new material) in November, Satellite Soda is having an Amazing Joy Buzzards art battle where the winner’s pin-up will be printed in the new volume of Amazing Joy Buzzards.
It’s going down here! Be sure to check in often and watch the battle as it unfolds!:

This is a test comment. I’ve been having trouble posting comments in the blog section.

OK, now that I know this works, I’m torn on Amazing Joy Buzzards. I love the book and bought the first two trade paperbacks, but then they released a book that seemed to streamline the story and added new material (I think). This new volume seems to be all new, never-before-published stuff, but I can’t really tell. And what is meant by “technically, it is the third volume”.
Can anyone clear this up for me and tell me if it’s worthwhile to get these new volumes 1 and 2?

Hi Sluggo, this new volume IS all new and never published before material. If you collected the original trades (1,2) this is volume 3 for you, but if you picked up the new digest trade this is officially volume 2 and it’s all completely new.
If you have the originals then you shouldn’t feel like you have to get the new Volume 1 again, and you should go onto the new volume to from the originals.
