Gunnerkrigg Court in US Publication

[somnolent]

Tonight I came home from work to discover the newest GameInformer had arrived.

For those that don't know, GameInformer is a videogaming magazine that most people subscribe to because it comes with a free GameStop discount card.
Each month they do a spotlight page on new tech and peripherals (including comics and toys) and it doesn't appear these are ever paid advertisements.

This month, being the season, it was the several-page Holiday Gift Guide 2009!

Imagine my shock and amazement when I turned and saw on the "Media Shelf" section... Gunnerkrigg Court; Orientation.

I've included a postage-stamp sized, poor quality scan for the "proof." (Not intending to violate any copyrights, I decided to cut out only the parts that involved GC.)

So Tom... did you know about this?

Speaking of which, pre-orders are up for Gunnerkrigg Vol. 2: Research on Amazon. I don't know if it's been there for ages and I'm the last to know this or not. I just was seeing if I could get Orientation for my brother and it popped up and I'd never heard of it before, so I thought I'd mention it.

Haha hurrah for this thread being stickied.
Also, Wynne: Indeed, Tom actually drew the cover for Research while streaming over Ustream. But he hasn't said much about it otherwise- it's not a surprise that some fans aren't aware of it ^^

Tom even recorded that stream: www.ustream.tv/channel/gunnerkrigg-court
and there are large versions here: gunnerkrigg.com/streams/

It's also being offered in the Perma-Bound graphic novel list, so there might be copies showing up in schools all across North America. Apparently there was a review in the American Library Association's magazine 'Booklist' last march...?

Very cool.
