      <image:title>Ramblings - Smarg #4 Exclusive Variant</image:title>
      <image:caption>First off, I apologize for the long time between posts! A few things have happened with Smarg since I last checked in with the Ramblings page. First, Smarg #3 is out! Jesse and I feel strongly that it is our best work to date. Let us know what you think. Second, man, I am really excited about this new cover by Jeremy Hanson (pencils and inks) and Leonardo Paciarotti (colors). I mean, LOOK AT IT! This cover is also pretty special because, for the first time ever, we have a retailer exclusive variant. That’s right—this cover will be available only at Collector’s Connection. Considering the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge resides in the background of the cover, we think this is appropriate. In all seriousness, Collector’s Connection has been such an inimitable supporter of Smarg, so when the opportunity arose to partner with them for an exclusive variant (and make more Smarg art), Jesse and I jumped at the opportunity. We are very excited to bring you the next chapter of Smarg’s story. The script is written, and art is on the way. We are nearing the conclusion of the first arc of Smarg’s adventure, and we are grateful to everybody who has journeyed with us. Anyway, be sure to reach out to Collector’s Connection to add the Smarg #4 exclusive to your pull list! I sure hope I can get a copy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ramblings - Smarg #2 is OUT - Smarg #2 - Cover A by Jesse Switters!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Smarg #2 is officially sitting on shelves at retailers (though, not for too long, we hope), and we are fulfilling remaining orders in the coming days! Just look at this awesome cover Jesse made, paying homage to the legendary Silver Surfer #4 by the great John Buscema. The interiors are also pretty sweet, I must say, and I hope my script lives up to the art that Jesse produced once again. Check out the Retailers page for the brick-and-mortar stores carrying the comic, which is also available in our online Comic Shop. We remain humbled and touched by the support of our family, friends, and community, and we are proud to make indie comics.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ramblings - New Villain! - Atarah, the World Scourge. Art by Jesse Switters.</image:title>
      <image:caption>New villain just dropped! Meet Atarah, the World Scourge. She is diabolical, chaotic, armed and dangerous, and she has a longer history with Smarg’s planet than you might think! Atarah will make her grand debut in Smarg #2 and (spoiler) she will decidedly NOT be on the side of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow. Jesse absolutely crushed it on her design. I feel like she’s about to boot stomp me in the face, which is exactly in line with her character. By way of update, the latest issue is well on its way to completion, and we expect to print in the coming weeks. Please be on the lookout for pre-order links! We have Zip Alegria returning for another variant, which will be a connecting image with his cover for Smarg #1. We also are lucky enough to have the one and only Tom Nguyen blessing a variant cover, too. In another awesome update, local legend Dave Wheeler (aka Dave Wonder) has joined the Smarg creative team. He will be laying down the letters in Smarg #2. Jesse and I are excited/relieved/in a glass case of emotion that he is on board with us. We are really, really looking forward to showing off the new project when it’s ready to hit shelves. In the meantime, please feel free to hit me up on Instagram or email paulhallgrencomics@gmail.com if you have thoughts or feelings or anything else to share about Smarg. We still have a little space on our letters page!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ramblings - Goodbye 2024 - Smarg standing over Duluth. Art by Jesse Switters.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What a year! Don’t get me wrong, I’m as ready to turn the page over to a fresh start as the next person, but the end of 2024 provides a real chance to reflect. Jesse Switters and I formally announced the coming of Smarg on September 3. At that time, we had little more than a script, some concept art, and proverbial hopes and dreams. Good thing Jesse also had determination. He brought Smarg to life artistically in what felt like a blink. Just three months after our announcement, we were able to print a real comic book and start fulfilling orders on December 18. Whirlwind. Smarg #1 is just 20% of our planned story arc. I have an outline for another four issues for our initial run, Jesse is on board for the art, and the script for Smarg #2 is almost fully baked by this point. Jesse and I plan to commence thumbnails and pencils in January 2025. We will provide regular updates on our progress! Looking back, 2024 was a huge year for us because we got our little alien brainchild out into the market. But in terms of work, the continuation of Smarg’s story will be a larger undertaking during 2025 that will span the whole year. Our goal and expectation is to publish a new issue every quarter, which would allow us to cap off our initial five-issue arc in December 2025. This timeline feels perhaps a bit ambitious for two dudes spearheading their own passion project, but we really think this timeline is reasonable. We learned a ton in publishing the first issue. There are lots of ways to improve our product and process that we look forward to capturing starting with Smarg #2. We hope that our efforts show and that you plan to pick up the next issue when it releases.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ramblings - Connecting Variant! - Introducing the ZipDraw Connecting Variant for Smarg #1!</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is official—Smarg #1 has its first variant cover. (I think it is a little funny that we are showing off the variant before we have the Cover A ready, but oh well!) Behold the ZipDraw Connecting Variant by the talented Zip Alegria, who you can find here on Instagram and Facebook. Jesse and I are extremely grateful that Zip carved out some time from his other projects to do this awesome piece for us. This image is an homage to the famous Jim Lee X-Men #1 (1991) cover. I think Zip’s work in replicating the intensity of the image while implementing his own original twists is fantastic. I can hear this cover! Also… like its title suggests, this is a connecting variant! Smarg #2 will have another ZipDraw masterpiece to add to the story of this one. It might not be lost on some of you that this is also a new character reveal! Please consider grabbing yourself a copy to get the scoop on who this reptile beast is and how his story collides with Smarg’s. For those of you who have already supported the project by pre-ordering Cover A, fear not! If you pre-order the ZipDraw Connecting Variant from the Comic Shop, I will refund your shipping costs and include this one with your Cover A. Below this post, you can check out Zip’s timelapse video for the art! Finally, it is Election Day! If Smarg were an American, he would get out and vote today, so you should, too!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Holy where-has-the-time-gone, Batman! (Err… Smarg!) We are just a little over a month away until our publication date for Smarg #1. There is still work to be done to get every little detail ready to go to print, but we are on schedule. *Slowly exhales* I couldn’t be more excited to bring this book to the public consciousness. As I’ve said before, I think the story is pretty good, but please refer to this post as LITERAL PROOF that the art is going to be elite. Jesse’s work gives me Dan Mora vibes. Just a quick tip of the hat and word of appreciation to everyone who has supported our project so far by pre-ordering the comic or grabbing merch from the website. For those who have thrown down a few bucks already for the comic, you are buying a product sight unseen outside of the limited previews that Jesse and I have posted on our socials. Incredible—THANK YOU! For those of you who want actually want to see the comic… that is fair! Rest assured, we will have books all over the Twins Cities and and greater Minnesota at a number of comic stores when we publish. I hope you take a little time to leaf through our first issue, decide that it doesn’t suck, and add it to your healthy stack of comics in support of a local business. In the meantime, enjoy your upcoming Halloween festivities. This time of year just might be the best of all.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Even heroes (especially heroes) need to eat. That said, Smarg’s diet might be a little bit of an acquired taste. Here is Jesse Switters’ interpretation of what this kind of meal might look like. For me, suction cups are a non-starter, but to each their own. By way of update, Jesse is absolutely THROWING DOWN on the art for Smarg #1. I am incredibly grateful, and I think readers will be awed when they see his work with full colors and inks. I am chomping (champing?) at the bit myself. We will keep dropping little previews of the progress as the weeks continue. For everyone who has already taken the time and money to support our project, thank you again! For anybody who wants to take the leap with our team and Snow Day Press, please consider purchasing your pre-order of Smarg #1 in the Comic Shop (feel free to grab a sticker, too; those are new!).</image:caption>

We are grateful, humbled, and feel a little extra pressure to bring something awesome to market for readers! THANK YOU! To date, we have received over 165 pre-orders through the website and to local Twin Cities comic shops, and I will continue to pound the pavement. We want Smarg to be a household name (albeit an unusual one)! to express our appreciation, we are sharing something a little extra special to give folks an idea of what this comic will look like. Here is a page previewing Jesse’s pencils from the issue.</image:caption>
