Coming to America

Okay, you've read about us and you've seen the promo video, but when will the actual invading take place? And what are we supposed to invade?
Well, we'll start by invading New York City during the MoCCA arts festival April 10th-11th (or actually the evening before), and then stay a couple of days in NYC doing interviews and buying vintage candy packages (Simon), frolicking in the spring sun (Kolbeinn) and stalking Central Park with his four year old daughter in search of Stuart Little (Mats).

Friday April 16th we land in Chicago for release party #2 and signings at Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo. See the complete schedule below!
