WELCOME
Hey Friends - thanks for reading my first newsletter of 2021! It's already been a doozy of a year, but I do have some Fire Power and Jonna updates, so read on if you like!
FIRE POWER #7 & TRADE OUT LAST WEEK
Fire Power #7 came out last week! Did you pick it up? The second trade volume also hit stores, so now is a great time to get on board if you're not already picking it up.The trades can be ordered at your local comic shop  or Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Powells or your local indie bookshop!
 
Here's a peek at the covers for Fire Power #8 (out 2/3/21) and Fire Power #9 (out 3/3/21)!  Thanks to everyone who is supporting this book - I appreciate it and hope you are enjoying it!
JONNA UPDATE!!!
Laura and I are thrilled that we can finally share that the first issue of Jonna and The Unpossible Monsters will release on March 3rd! Jonna is our creator owned book published by Oni Press, that was announced last year, shortly before the pandemic hit. Below is the first cover and a little synopsis for those of you that are unfamiliar with it. While it has been a bit nerve-racking to write and draw my own thing, it's been a lot of fun and we would love your support. The Diamond code is JAN211452 and it can be ordered at your local comic shop!
"Don't miss the brand-new, original series written and drawn by Eisner-winner Chris Samnee! Filled with action, adventure... and monsters!

Rainbow has been searching for her sister, Jonna, for a year. The last time she saw Jonna was also the first time she saw one of the monsters that now roam the planet. They're big, ugly, and dangerous creatures, driving humanity to the brink of extinction. Though there isn't much hope for survival out in the wild, Rainbow knows that her sister is out there somewhere-and she'll do anything to find her."
Oh what's this? A super, sneaky surprise giveaway! Listen 2020 sucked and so far 2021 isn't much better, so we wanted to give away a 5x7 headsketch (your choice of character - established characters only) to five of you. All you have to do to enter is email giveaway@chrissamnee.com by this Friday 1/15/21, 8pm central and tell me something you're looking forward to this year. We'll pick five winners and notify them by email. 
COMMISSION UPDATE
I've finished all my 2020 commissions and currently don't have plans to take on any more. This can always change depending on my schedule, but right now, I'm not anticipating that I will take commissions this year. If that changes, I will always include that information in a future newsletter as well as on twitter and instagram.
QUARANTAINMENT
Drawing two monthly books is not leaving me much time for reading comics, but I have been listening to a lot of audio books lately. I've recently really enjoyed a bunch by Grady Hendrix (The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, My Best Friend's Exorcism, We Sold Our Souls) and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue be V. E. Schwab. 

If you have a recommendation for a great audio book - or a great audio narrator to follow - I'd love to hear it!
