Over at PVP Land, Scott Kurtz posted that the new PvP #1 in the Image line is ranked #166 in sales for comics in March. Kurtz notes that in comparison the last issue PvP in the Dork Press run sold only 2,600 copies. He goes on to say:

That's an INCREDIBLE success story, due in no small part to your support, orders, calls and demand for PvP comics. We had a lot going for us, because Image really has gotten behind the book. With a jump to a new publisher, cover by Frank Cho, placement on the cover of PREVIEWS, recent mentions in Wizard and Wizard's Edge magazine and a tidal wave of demand from online readers...how could we not do well.

Kurtz will be at Zeus Comics on March 5th (the day PvP #1 ships) from 4-8PM for a release party for the new PvP comic book.

After gaining phenomenal popularity and critical acclaim online with smallstoriesonline.com, Derek Kirk Kim collects the stories that garnered him all the attention in the past two years with this handsome new collection.

Through a series of sensitive--and often hilarious--short stories, Kirk Kim, deftly explores the not-so-average twenty-somethings' quarter-life crisis, romantic neurosis, and perhaps most refreshingly of all, Korean-American life. In September 2002, Kirk's self-effacing wit, ear for dialogue, and meticulous art style earned him the Xeric Grant as well as an Ignatz nomination, two prestigious industry awards. Find out for yourself why Derek Kirk Kim is considered a stand-out among the new generation of cartoonists and a fresh new voice in Asian American literature.

"Rocketing out of obscurity in 2001. A powerful storyteller in 2002. No American cartoonist has more promise in 2003 than Derek Kirk Kim." --Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics.
