So it's Sunday, and we're about to go live to the world. The domain is sorted tomorrow (which is lucky as we're mentioning it everywhere) and we're just starting to take our first tentative steps out into the world.

Currently this is primarily covered by sorting out this blog (and associated backmatter) - we still need to put up some bios, the reviews/interviews page will be bare for a few months until the issues start to come out / pre promotion gains momentum, the downloads / media will start to appear as we go on - we're thinking that this will be the page where we put up things like shelf talkers for retailers, computer wallpaper, posters, prints etc. Also this will be where the previews get posted.

Then you have the Merch - the 'buy our shit' page - here we'll have mugs and T shirts and Posters etc for you to buy as the months progress - currently we have our 'Don't f**k with an ANGEL' T shirt, so feel free to buy one and wear it at all the best conventions this year.

We also have a myspace, so friend it! We'll have bulletins go up as we progress.

Anyway, this wouldn't be an announcement unless we had some tasty treats for you, would it? So have a sneak preview of Daniel Boultwood's concept designs for Helen and Mike. As you can see he's kept the stylish design of his earlier work like The Gloom, etc - but at the same time he's maturing it a lot. Personally, I love it. Click on them for a bigger version. You'll have recognised the Helen one before - It's the one we're using at the top in the logo.

So put the date in your calenders, kiddies - November 2007. It's Judgement Day for Hope Falls.

And you get to watch.
