Well, I now know that at least one person actually read a copy of Empty Chamber #2!

Greg Burgas, over at CBR's Comics Should Be Good, said...

The promise of the first issue - weird espionage conspiracy thriller - is largely fulfilled in the second issue, and although this isn’t a perfect comic book, it has a lot to recommend it. Copland’s art works well for a thriller, and when he’s called upon to draw something majestic - a “helicarrier,” for instance (and yes, a character makes a Nick Fury joke) - he’s up to the task. Lewis’ story, which relies on some hoary clichés from the genre - the aggrieved general, the misdirection, the traitor on the inside - is still sharp enough to bring it up a notch to an interesting comic.

Hello Again

It looks like the interview A. David and I took part in, for the second issue of Empty Chamber, has finally hit the Newsarama site!
It starts:

Debuting with #1 in October of last year, Empty Chamber is an espionage series by writer A. David Lewis and artist Jason Copland, published by independent publisher Silent Devil.

Just to refresh – the solicitation for issue #1 read:

Boston is quiet, the University is deserted, and Matt, alone for the winter, is a nobody. But he quickly becomes the government's most wanted, a beautiful mercenary's top priority, and a renegade general's prime target when the knowledge he possesses might thwart American genocide.

Issue #2 hits in a couple of weeks, and we had a chance to chat for a bit with the two creators to get the skinny on how this story came to life and more.....

I know all 4 of you reading this are going to run right over there and leave a glowing remark about how great I am...... right?
