September 8, 2025 3rd Voice is nominated for an IGNATZ AWARD and ANYONE CAN VOTE.

SPX is THIS WEEKEND in Bethesda MD. I am tabling at J12, and this will be the OFFICIAL DEBUT of the 1st 3rd Voice Book. It will be available at Topatoco sometime soon thereafter. ALSO at this show, and probably (???) available online after, is a small riso-printed art book called "People of the Corners" that I am very happy with it; a sort of experiment in risographic printing and fictional-world-internal artifact design.

SPX 1, 2, 3, 4

Excited to see people! This has always felt like the big world-capital of independent comics to me personally, and is the show I have been tabling at most consistently and for longest. I haven’t done any shows since LAST YEAR and it is feeling a little daunting!!! But looking forward. Also debuting at this show, with a limited number of advance copies, is the new Iron Circus Comics edition of the first book of Vattu, which is really extremely nice-looking but which I have yet to actually see IN PERSON as of this writing so I am very excited about that.

What else is going on. I’ve been not drawing the comic for several days which is very disorienting, and using much of my time in nailing down and thumbnailing the entire ending chunk of 2nd Passage. I am nervous and I hope you like it. thank you for reading!!!!

You can email me something at 3rdvoicemail@gmail.com and I will maybe get to it here.

Hey Evan, I really enjoy your comics, and have been reading your work since you started Vatu. Two quick questions for you:

1. I’m excited to see a print version of 3rd Voice coming out soon. Do you have plans to release a HC version at some point, or just the SC? I picked up all of the HCs of Vatu, so was curious if I should hold out or just buy the book when it’s available online.

2. This one’s more a story question. I’ve really enjoyed 3rd Voice, but I’m a little confused by the timeline. Does the Second Passage take place before the First Passage or after? I feel like I missed a clue somewhere that would clarify one way or the other, so apologies if the answer is obvious and I’m just not getting it. But either way, I’m enjoying the story.

No plans for different version of 3V book! I am trying to keep it simple and present it in one optimized way. Also I am trying to present it as more of a Pulp Thing than a Serious Austere Thing in the way that the Overside hardcovers suggested. I dunno I just have to keep it simple self-publishing is too complicated already.

I will try to be clear about any moves outside of chronological time. The injuries S&N suffer in 1st Passage clarify this but 2p is kind of an ambiguous amount of time after 1p.
