You have questions?
Yes, Charlie, I have questions.
Ask them.
Can I bring a friend?
Please, bring two. But the Headquarters is a modestly sized establishment and the booze usually runs out. Just letting you know.
Do I need to RSVP?
Please don’t. I don’t care if you come. No, wait, that sounded bad. I totally care if you come, I’d love to see you. But it’s no biggie if you can’t come and you should’t feel like you need to make a point of dropping me a line saying, “Hey, Charlie, I can’t come to the release party. Sorry, dude.”
7pm? That’s kind of early, don’t you think?
It’s a book release, not a rave. Also, it’s Saturday night and it’s not like we bought out 4100 for the night. An early start means an early after party means avoiding crowds of Saturday night amateur drinkers.
Wow, does that mean you think I’m a pro drinker?
Yes, yes it does.
Hey, I have a kid, can I bring my kid?
Yeah. Especially if you don’t mind your kid being around a bunch of boozing adults listing to a guy with a truly foul mouth reading from a super violent book. Me, I’m leaving my kid at home in the tub with some kibble.
Ya know, book releases aren’t my thing. Can I just come to the after party. Wait, I mean, I’m busy until 8pm. Can I just come to the after party?
Yes. I totally get that. Sometimes I’m busy when you have a thing.
Hey, I want the new book, will you be selling it?
No. But the Headquarters will be. They should have several copies on hand.

To celebrate this week’s release of The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys #1, we are very excited to announce that we will be hosting a signing with writer Gerard Way (Umbrella Academy, My Chemical Romance) and artist Becky Cloonan (Demo, Conan The Barbarian.) Come by this Saturday, June 15th from 7 to 9pm to have a drink, snag a copy of the new book, and meet Gerard and Becky!

Let us know you’re coming on Facebook!
