The Multiplex 10 Cinemas faces off against the staff of Flickhead Video (and more!) in the latest Multiplex trade paperback!

A handful of advanced copies of Book Three are in!
The good: The interiors look terrific. The paper stock is a bit thinner and lighter than previous volumes, but no less opaque. And the book lays flat nicely on its own, unlike the previous volumes.
The (not so) bad: You see that the "superhero" on the cover did not stand out nearly as much as the proofs had suggested. A couple of you guys mentioned that before… ah well. But he is still visible (even he isn't in this photo). That's something to tweak if I ever do a second printing, I guess.
The other books are on a slow boat from China, so they won't get here for several weeks, but… well, now you know what it'll look like.
This sketch of Kim Pine (from the Scott Pilgrim comics) was for Matthew Curfman. Hey, Matthew!
Also: The Multiplex parody posters went off to the printer today (namely PrintSafari), and the book is (finally!) moving forward to the printed proof stage with PrintNinja, after a few rounds of fixing technical issues that slipped through the file prep process.
I'm going to sit on this for a couple of days before calling it finished and sending it off to the printer, but I think this is done…
Here are the other three printers. They've been reformatted to fit in the 11x17 size, and the Memento poster was updated to have the extra detail in the eyes that I started doing in the many many years since it was first drawn.
(Unless I change something at the last minute.) If you see a typo, let me know. :)
Anyway, Book Three is on track to go to the printer TODAY. The next step is proofreading the electronic proof, and then the next step after that is proofreading the physical proof (in a few weeks).
