Ebooks release for volume 3

This is the last update of this kind for a while: the next post will be a new page or two, promise! The volume 3 e-books are available, and they contain no less than 46 pages of extra contents! It will be a while before volume 4 is done, because I need to translate it to French first.
Dark Dreams is available for download in English here or in French here.

Ebooks release for volume 2

I had a big burnout this week so the new pages are still pending, but most of the work was already done on the volume 2 ebooks, so I finished that up today and uploaded them. Again they contain 36 pages of extra contents: sketches, fan art, location photos and "outtakes", not to forget Adrian and Tareq's word of the day.
This volume is available for download in English here or in French here.

Ebooks release for volume 1

Still on a roll regarding the revision of past issues of Malaak, I'm excited to announce today that volume 1 is now available as an e-book in both English and French. This may interest all Malaak readers, even if you already have the books, as the digital format allowed me to include as much unpublished extra contents as I wanted. For this volume this turned out to be 30 pages of bonus stuff! These consist in sketches galore, a selection of fan art, location photos with commentary (sample page below), "outtakes", and finally a schtick by Adrian and Tareq, to recur at the end of each volume with different dialogue ;)
I'm still hard at work on this, so the other volumes should follow. For now, this one can be purchased and immediately downloaded in English here or in French here.

Launch of malaak IV

It was another lovely launch this weekend at my favorite venue (Café Younes, where much of the comic was made). Here are the highlights for those who couldn't make it!

First visitor of all, my crazy friend Sarah
Amin Younes gets the first crop!
Editorial cartoonist examining my sketches and Younes manager examining the sweets
The special touch: the best macarons in Beirut, fresh from Le Gustav!

Mr LeGustav and Miss RagMag ;)

The ever-present @merwada!
Newly-engaged @mallydobb spotted the creator of Toilet Genie among my guest artists
Hark! A deviant!
Happy extra (one volume late!)
A devoted supporter made her way to the launch on crutches...
Nina the Terrible, scarier in person than her alter ego Nryz
Long-time friend and colleague Lina G, and her mother

Young fans too absorbed to pose
Still absorbed!
Happy author
And last but not least, @mich1mich and @lemondedejimmy
And now the clock is ticking as I write enough of part V to start putting up pages...

Part 3 launch photos

One fan actually turned up in a Malaak (or rather Amer) t-shirt!

Absentees sending their parents to collect the goods...

Colleagues and friends... one of whom was carrying her sword on her way to class and wouldn't let security take it away, LOL!

A villain in the flesh!

Malaak 3: Dark Dreams – Launching soon!




Finally it's here! I'm thrilled with the printed book I received 2 days ago and I can't wait for the big day. In the meanwhile I'm drumming up a viral campaign to spread the word far and wide, and I could use your help! Here's the idea:

Starting from March 6, every 5 days, I'm going to send a single image to serve both as a tease and a reminder. That's 5 images total, the last being on the day of the event itself. All I'd like from you is that you forward that image to anyone who might be remotely interested. If you want to repost that image anywhere, blog it, tweet it, redistribute it in any other way that's fantastic and I give you full rights to do so, but even a simple forwarding would be awesome. The idea is to spread the word further than the media would reach, get people intrigued, and keep reminding people who might forget, but in an interesting and non-repetitive way.

If you're willing to help in this way please send me your email address (mana at cedarseed dot com). I'll be sending the images from an email I'm creating specifically for this purpose.

Thank you for your continued support!
Love,
Joumana

Malaak II launch

The Malaak II booksigning yesterday was awesome. First off, the people at Café Younes are the best, so go pay them a visit if you're anywhere near by.
Second, I will let pictures speak for themselves!
