Just a quick note to say that we know ‘The Deep: Here Be Dragons’ has sold out on Amazon and, from the sound of it, at a lot of comic book stores. I’m sure these places will be restocked soon but, if you’re having trouble tracking it down, it’s easily available from the official site, right here – http://www.exploringthedeep.com/shop/the-deep-here-be-dragons/
Thanks to everyone who has picked up the book so far and to all the people who have reviewed, tweeted, facebooked and generally shown their love for The Deep. Please continue to hassle stores to order the book in, and help get this book in front of people’s eyeballs.
The Nekton family still need you.

It’s here. This week. The worldwide release of ‘ The Deep: Here Be Dragons’!
The reaction to the advance copies available at San Diego Comic Con was incredible, with meetings and interest from all over the world in our aquatic adventure story. Many fans read the book and came back to tell us how much they loved the story and the beautiful art of the talented James Brouwer. Some were already talking about cosplaying as the Nekton family (Yes. Do this. I want to see this).
Now, the Nekton family need you. I’m kinda proud of this one but for our book to get noticed alongside the enormous wave of books about flying people in tights, we need the word spread. Please help us out by plugging, pimping, tweeting and sharing news of this book using every form of social media you can. Also, feel free to just tell people, using your voice box – I know it’s ancient tech but it still works.
Anyone wanting a digital copy for review, please contact media@exploringthedeep.com
Also, remember to actually get the book. Make sure your comic store has ordered it.
You can get it direct from the publisher right here – GESTALT PUBLISHING
Through the official website here – EXPLORING THE DEEP
And through Amazon here – AMAZON LINK
Go forth.
Spread the word.
The Nekton family thanks you.

Yes. Star Wars: Invasion has arrived with the new story arc ‘Revelations’.
And the official Star Wars site has an exclusive preview of issue #1 where Colin Wilson sends Luke Skywalker into battle against impossible odds.
Right here – StarWars.com
Epic battles. Betrayal. The Yuuzhan Vong. The Empire. The Galfridians. A secret weapon that could spell the end of the galaxy and more twists than you could poke a double-bladed lightsaber at.
So big we had to do it twice. Yes, two covers! Revelations #1 comes with a cover by our new cover artist, the always brilliant Chris Scalf (artist on Star Wars: Blood Ties), and a special variant by the great Dave Dorman, to mark the 25th anniversary of Dark Horse comics.
And don’t forget, coming in the next few weeks – The Deep!

Now less than a month away from its official release, The Deep: Here be Dragons has been getting some fantastic publicity. With TEN exclusive preview pages now available at Comic Book Resources, the interest level for this book has grown and grown. I’ve done a pile of interviews and am set to do a pile more.
Thought I’d stick links up to the interviews I’ve done so far for The Deep, and also post a link to the Official Facebook site – Right here.
Comic Book Resources (with ten exclusive preview pages) – Exclusive: Tom Taylor Explores ‘The Deep’
“The Deep” is a wonderful concept… a “Fantastic Four” meets “Fantastic Journey” – CBR
MTV Geek – Fun interview – (and similar pun to CBR) – Exploring The Deep with writer Tom Taylor
“…impressive stuff thanks to Taylor’s simple and clear take on the Nekton family combined with the wonderful cartoon-style art by Brouwer. It strikes just the right balance between smart, funny, and menacing…” – MTV
Comic Booked Interview with the brilliant Nicci Sixx – Take a Journey to The Deep
“Fun for the whole family, I highly recommend grabbing your copy the very day it drops, and tucking your own family in with it that very same evening.…new depths of ageless family entertainment.”
Broken Frontier Interview with, fellow Australian, Kris Bather – Tom Taylor Dives Deep
“Australian writer Tom Taylor has been a juggler, a fire eater, a playwright and more. He’s chartered the course of Luke Skywalker and DC’s The Authority and now has an all-ages undersea adventure to be told in the attractive pages of new OGN, The Deep.” – Broken Frontier

Product Description
From Tom Taylor (Star Wars: Invasion, The Authority) and James Brouwer, the adventures of a multicultural family of underwater explorers begins here.
“My family are explorers.
We have been for generations.
Some argue that there is nowhere left to explore, that everything on earth that can be discovered has already been found.
They say that to truly explore we need to leave our planet.
While others look up to the stars, my family know that there are also stars beneath us, that there are an infinite number of things that shine brightly in the darkness below.
Most of our world lies unexplored, unexplained. There are things lurking in the seas that have only ever been spoken about in myth.
My family are explorers.
We have been for generations.
We explore…
…The Deep.”

A quick post to say that Colin Wilson and I are being interviewed on 3CR radio at 5pm (Melbourne time) today, where we will be talking about all of our comic book projects.
In other news, I’ve just sent off the first 72 page story of ‘The Deep’ to the publisher! It is currently on track for a worldwide release in April 2010. We’re still designing the look of the thing but hopefully I can put up some teaser images soon.
Also, a few people have asked where else I can be found on the internet. The only other place I frequent is my facebook group – which can be joined right here.
