Long-time reader, first-time caller.
I was amazed this weekend at Adepticon just how many people know of Nicolas R Giancondino's (Aerion the Faithful)
40K fan art. Some examples here on his deviantArt page:

Anyway, a few people mentioned that Dakka would be a great place to let people know that his non-
40K (but still an action-packed sci-fi space rock opera) webcomic, 'Free Mars', has been picked up by a publisher and will be out this summer as an original graphic novel. So look for it at your local comic book store (or better yet pre-order it next month). Should be out late July/August.
Again, it was humbling and awesome to know so many gamers were following the comic. Multiple Slayer Sword-winner, Chris Borer, is working on sculpting miniatures based on the comic characters and we've got a game in the works (remember
GW's White Dwarf 'Bar Room Brawl' game?). So stay tuned. And thanks for the support.
