Morning, folks.  Matt Maxwell here taking over posting of the thrice-weekly pages from John, so let’s have a big round of applause for him, eh?  Wouldn’t be here were it not for him Making It Happen.  Thanks, John!

This week we’ll get a good look at what’s ailing Drytown.  And in case it wasn’t noted before, Chapter One is called “Town Without Cheer.”  A virtual cookie to anyone who can name the reference without having to head to Google.  Googlers never prosper, remember that.

As usual, if you want to catch the previous pages, head to the following:

I’ll turn that into a proper link as soon as I can figure out how to without breaking the entire works.  In the last month I’ve bricked an iMac and an external hard drive, so I’m probably not to be trusted around technology…

A little more than a month ago, I mentioned that Matt Maxwell was looking for a home to serialize the sequel to his first graphic novel. I’m proud to announce that starting next Monday, Blog@Newsarama will begin serializing The Thirsty, Matt Maxwell’s sequel to Strangeways: Murder Moon!

I’ve been a fan of Matt and his work since he first showed it to me at WonderCon a couple of years ago, so I’m really excited that he’s chosen to let us serialize it before he publishes it next spring. A new page will appear every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and we’ll have bonus material along the way as well. The full press release can be found after the jump, and watch for the first installment next Monday!
