JEBS has Moved
The bulk mailer was randomly unsubscribing people and we could not fix the problem, so JEBS will now be sent in-house via a secure software. We hope that we don't loose too many of you as we migrate.

Jericho S-3 Civil War
The graphic novel (all six comics in book form) will be in comic stores on July 20th and will be in the book stores on Aug 2nd.
It can be pre-ordered from Amazon: <<http://tinyurl.com/43gtj6>> Amazon price - $12.49
The graphic novel is the money maker for IDW, so I urge everyone to buy the graphic novel (even if you have all the comics).
Let's send the sales through the roof!

Operation Phoenix/Comic Book Update
July 4, 2011
Hello Fellow Rangers:
Happy 4th of July. It is the 235th Birthday for the United States of America. I feel very fortunate and proud to have been born and raised here.
Comic Con in San Diego, CA is slated to beging on July 21, 2011 and will run through Sunday, July 24th.
Back in April of 2011, at Wondercon in San Francisco, our Rangers were told by the IDW representative that one of the Jericho Producers would be at Comic Con in July and that it was quite likely he would have good news for the fans. They also said they hoped that IDW could continue to be part of the continuing Jericho story.
We spoke to Dan Shotz this past week and were told that several of the actors will be joining Dan and some of the writers and producers at Comic Con. He states we need to sell the graphic Novel out, so we will need all hands on deck to start the sales push when the graphic novel is available. It will be available in stores and from IDW starting on July 20th which is one day before Comic Con is slated to begin. It will then be available on Amazon starting in August 2011.
We believe that Jericho has a real future. The comics and graphic novel have been a way to keep the story moving and keep Jericho a real living breathing entity. It is important to remember that we are dealing with corporate America, that all decisions are based on the return on investment and that for us to succeed we need to have a real product out there having people viewing it. Sales are key because they like Nielsen ratings show the numbers to the decision makers.
We need to make one final push to get the word out across the fandom to purchase the graphic novel whenever and where ever we can, whether from IDW direct, through thaw, Amazon or at your local comic store.
We can and will get this done!
Keep the Faith

ECRG 2011 - September 9-11, 2011
The East Coast Ranger Gathering (ECRG) is slated for September 9-11, 2011 in Baltimore, MD. This will be the third annual gathering of Rangers and the 2nd time in Baltimore.
The ECRG is just that, a gathering of Jericho Fans who are getting together, for a social event, to talk about Jericho, the comic and speculate about the eventual release of the feature film. It is not a convention or con and has never been intended for that purpose. We will not be looking for active participation from anyone who worked on the series. In time, the event may grow into something other than a social event but for now it is meant to be purely an event where people can meet, explore the location and have a good time.

Arundel Mills, MD 21076
