Hey Everyone,
Elio is still south of the boarder for another 5-6 days, but I've got some cool stuff to you show you. This is a partial page from chapter two. I think these will be the final panels I show you from this scene before it's published. I feel like we may have shown too much as it is, but you guys have really only seen the tip of this iceberg believe me.

I get so excited when I think of all the things we've been able to keep secret so far. When you finally read the book next year, you will think we're magicians the way we've disguised so much of the plot from you.

I personally think it's a cooler experience to see the book this way first. It really lets you all use your imaginations and try to piece together what could possibly be happening. Then, when you read the book, you'll be able to way your own theories against the actual information.

Cool stuff right?:) I hope you're all doing good out there. I'm going to post a page later in the week that you haven't seen completed yet, and as an added bonus, it will feature the first word balloons to be shown on the blog.

Peace,
Joe y Elio
