No problem. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!
Neil D.
9:42
Thanks, Felix! I seem to remember viewing hours were middle of the week & middle of the day, but I might be misremembering. Gotta figure the primary Heritage audience aren't 9-5ers?
Felix Lu
9:42
The primary audience decides when they want to work and/or if they have to work, I think:P
Mikail
9:42
That Spider-Man DWJ is Awesome!
Nick
9:42
Do you have plans to come back to Europe anytime soon?
Felix Lu
9:43
Sorry, no plans at all.
Mikail
9:43
I would buy Tradd Aunt May for sure! I have to admit I often visit Felix's website to look at tjhe Tradd covers. That Klarion cover in particular - can't believe it's still available.
Felix Lu
9:43
Until one day it's not! I learned that the HARD way...still haunts me.
Jason
9:43
Hey u
Hey guys!
Felix Lu
9:43
Hi Jason! I know a lot of Jasons, too, haha!
Victor B.
9:43
felix/chat room what are some art from either your team or outside that you are excited about seeing and/or purchasing
Felix Lu
9:45
In terms of modern art, I really only have eyes for my guys. Lots to look forward to, but one thing that stands out right now is James Harren's creator-owned title. Don't know release date yet, but hoping for this year.
Nick
9:45
Ooooww!!! You tease. :-)
Tim D
9:45
I think what DC is doing with the black label is great, and hope we see more stuff like that.For me superheroes work best as short stories in their own universe with artistic vision.
Felix Lu
9:45
Tim...couldn't agree more. Continuity is a prison.
Mikail
9:45
Yes, to the point where I don't maintain a list really anymore because I want to see everything and pull
Felix Lu
9:46
Nice! For about 30 years, I hit the shop religiously every Wed, too!
Neil D.
9:46
The Steg-man with Chip Zdarsky was great! Guys a hoot. I enjoyed the Quesada interview as well.
Felix Lu
9:46
I heard the one with Zdarsky! Will have to check out the Quesada one!
Jason
9:46
Congrats on another complete issue sale, Felix!
Felix Lu
9:47
Thanks, Jason! It's kinda our thing! And I think it's becoming a thing for others, too. I certainly see others now trying to do the same.
Neil D.
9:47
Gotta run but thanks for putting on the chat and I'm looking forward to reading the transcript later! Take care, Felix + friends!
Felix Lu
9:47
Thanks for stopping by, Neil, see you next time!
Newell

Victor, Jim Cheung is coming to my home town comic con in May. I'm super excited to meet him and hopefully get a commission.
Neil D.
9:48
Ahhhh super excited to be getting more regular Harren!
Felix Lu
9:48
YUP!

Victor B:There's a Russian artist who is super detailed a-la Geoff Darrow who's work I'm really impressed with.  He goes by William Smith, but I think his name is Filya Bratukhin.
Felix Lu
9:49
Oh, that guy is impressive! But "William Smith"? So basic! I once got a call from a telemarketer clearly based in India. I asked for his name. He said "Steve Rogers". I said "nice to meet you Steve, my name is Tony Stark." He said "Wow, hi Iron Man!" And then I hung up.

Hey Felix!  Of the 100 complete issue sales you've made, how many (roughly) are to repeat complete issue buyers?
Felix Lu
9:50
There are guys who have bought more than one, but I don't think any one buyer has gotten more than 3 or 4 from me. Mostly it's a one-off, a collecting bucket list item. But that may change the further we go along...definitely having more guys come back for another go.
Mikail
9:50
Does anyone have contact info for Dale Eagelsham perhaps?
Felix Lu
9:51
Can anyone help Mikail?
Varranis
9:51
Enjoyed the recent podcast!
Felix Lu
9:51
Thanks V! All good guys who love comic art, that's the key!
Jason
9:51
Damn excited for James stuff
Felix Lu
9:51
YUP!
Simon M

Also, given your near sell-outs with every drop, how much art do your artists have at cons?  Are they just selling sketches/signing and that is it, as a rule?  Heading to C2E2 so curious to know what to expect/budget for.
Felix Lu
9:52
Yes...we sell very little art at cons because most of it's already gone! So it's signing/sketching, but more than that, a chance to meet fans. Doing cons isn't about business for us at all...we do business every other day of the year.
Tom Franck

The artist who won the Russ Manning award this year, Lorena Alvarez is really wonderful.
