Operation Comic Book Update - 12/11/09

December 11, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers:

We still continue to see a lot of press involving Epix. DDP will be launching issue 2 with preview pages being posted to Fan sites, like they did with issue number 1, so be on the lookout.

http://www.reuters.com/article/GlobalMedia...E5B24AD20091203

Cox Said Near Agreement to Carry Viacom's Epix Channel in 2010 December 11, 2009

The ARG game seems to be in play so if you can check out the comlink thread [see ARG announcement for links].

We are looking to get sales figures for the comic and to get rankings and have asked the folks at DDP and our own Ichtus and Denny Wilson to help us out.

I understand that some have been upset by issues with mailing of the comic. As this is the busiest part of the year for mail, I am sure that is why they have delayed issue 2 to the first week of January.

I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. With Junction and CBS still actively involved in the promotion and production of the comic, something bigger is just over the horizon.

Operation Comic Book Update - 12/04/09

December 4, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers

Well the Issue 1, of the Jericho Comic, Season 3 has finally arrived and the people I have heard from love the comic and can't wait for the next issues to arrive.

We understand from Sam, at DDP, that there was an issue with the post office due to heavy holiday volume, so many have not yet received their mailed copies. Sam has also informed us that the second issue release date will be tentatively scheduled for the first week of January (after the holidays).

The second phase of Operation Comic Book has commenced. We need to provide feedback to CBS and DDP and let them know who we are, a brief statement about our age, where we live and what we think about the first issue.

As we did previously during Operation Phoenix we want to make sure that we are giving back critical demographic information to the bean counters and decision makers. This past year we did that by utilizing the CBS and the CW Feedback forms located on their respective websites. Now we are going to do this by leaving demographic information on the DDP Jericho Forum and by sending the Comment Card, created by our own K6, to CBS.

Comment Cards will be available on http:///www.SavingJericho.com by Monday. Look under the Save Jericho Effort section.

Jericho DDP Forum Feedback: Link

Latest Epix article says deals possible by early 2010, which coincides with the next comic release: Link

Mark Greenberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Epix, said he is "pretty confident" that another deal will soon be in place, possibly within the next several weeks.

Speaking at the Reuters Global Media Summit in New York, Greenberg added, "If a deal slides from this year to early next year that's fine by us. It's more important to get the deals right because the deals last for three to five years."

Greenberg said Epix is having "meaningful discussions" with Dish Network and other carriers, mainly on the satellite and cable side of the business.

He said the economy was partly to blame for the delay in striking deals. "Certainly the recession has an impact because people are being careful how they spend money," he said.

We still believe that the movie and possibly a continuation of the series will involve Epix. We continue to monitor the news releases to watch what is unfolding with Epix.

Lastly, look for more preview pages to pop up on various fan group pages just prior to the release of issue two.

To all have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Keep the Faith

Jericho Fan Table Effort

We will be running the Jericho Fan Tables at conventions/shows next year and we are already scheduled at some of the West Coast Cons.

If you are interested in running a Jericho Fan Table, then please contact Gwen at gwen@jericho-kansas.org and she will try to find a con or comic show near you.

Margo ran the Jericho Fan Table at OryCon last weekend, and she reported:"Most fans loved the show and were disappointed it went off the air. Some were glad it was continuing in the comic and that the movie is being planned."

Thanks Margo for running the Jericho Fan Table at Orycon!

Operation Phoenix Update - 11/27/09

November 27, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and those who have received/purchased the comic book have not been disappointed.

Gwen and I continue to monitor the internet and media sources regarding the Epix Channel and the possible Jericho Movie. We need to continue to get people to watch Jericho and purchase the comic book.

Thanks to Jericho Rangers 4 Our Troops. They have raised enough money to date to send 70 plus sets of the comics to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We continue to believe that something bigger than just the comic book is coming in the near future. We need to continue to Keep the Faith and get the word out.

Redsox19861

Comics for the Troops

On behalf of JR4OT, Inc., thank you to all who contributed so far, whether monetarily or with equally appreciated words of support, to the "Comics For Troops" effort.

As a result of these contributions and the generous pricing of 50% off the cover price, made available by DDP Publishing, the $854 collected to date for this specific effort enabled a purchase today of 432 issues, (72 full six-issue sets) of The Jericho "Season 3" Comic Series. These comics will be shipped to Iraq and Afghanistan via Staten Island Project Homefront, to be enjoyed and shared by our deployed service men and women .

Although Staten Island Project Homefronts next packing date for overseas shipments is not until December 29, 2009, we felt with today being the release of the first issue, coupled with the spirit of the Thanksgiving Holiday, there was no better time to place this initial order.

Contributions will continue to be accepted at www.comicsfortroops.com with periodic orders placed to coincide with SIPH scheduled packing dates.

With great thanks to those that serve our country, our thanks to you for your support of this effort thus far, and thanks to DDP for enabling twice as many opportunities to provide a little comic relief overseas, we wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving.

November 25, 2009

To: Devils Due Publishing

Re: Comics For Troops/Staten Island Project Homefront

Thank you again for your time on the telephone this morning and for the generosity that you and DDP have given to better the efforts that will benefit our deployed military. As discussed, we are purchasing 432 issues of the Jericho Comic that will comprise 72 complete subscription sets of 6 issues each. From your generous discount that will provide a $1.98 cost per issue ($11.88 per set), I calculate our total to be $855.36.

The assistance and pricing generosity that you provided to JR4OT with the "Comics For Troops" effort will be directly instrumental in bringing some temporary relief and escape for our deployed military.

The comics can be shipped directly to Staten Island Project Homefront, Attention: Deborah Parsons, 2205 Richmond Rd. , Staten Island , NY 10306

The next packing date at SIPH is December 29, 2009 (to be shipped overseas on January 7, 2010), so, if it's more cost effective, as the issues are released, they can be held and shipped together to arrive just prior to that. Should later dates be needed to accommodate later release dates, the next packing/deadline dates are Feb. 9th then March 4th.

We will continue to accept contributions at www.comicsfortroops.com and will forward additional orders to you as they are received to be included in the next planned shipping cycle.

On behalf of Jericho Rangers for Our Troops, Staten Island Project Homefront, and Jericho fans, thank you for continuing the story we all love so much and for your support of this effort.

You have our utmost gratitude.

Best regards,

Operation Phoenix Update - 11/20/09

November 20, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers,

Today marks the one year Anniversary that we launched Operation Phoenix in conjunction with CBS putting Jericho on the CW for the full 29 Episode run.

The comic book is due out on November 25th which will continue the Jericho story in written form. I know it is not what most hoped for when launched this last year. The week prior to launching Phoenix a group of about 30 Rangers put together a plan to reach out to all major news papers, websites and community sights to get people to watch Jericho on line at cbs.com, Joost and Youtube.

Without out the collective efforts and spirit of cooperation the Comic Book would not be coming out this week. Every Ranger out there should take stock in the fact that they did make a difference. Jericho continues to live because the Fans refused to allow CBS to kill off the show.

What lies ahead for Jericho, whether it is a theatrical movie or a miniseries, movie and/or full series on epix, has only been made possible because of the collective efforts of every fan. There are many different kinds of Fans and Fan Groups out there as there is in any facet of life, but for the most part we have been able to set aside our differences for the greater good.

I hope that this Wednesday is just the first step in many towards a greater fate for our beloved Jericho. I want to thank everyone who has worked so hard since March of 2008 to keep Jericho alive.

Gwen, K6, Myvibes, Denny, Ichtus, Windsorguy, Krzykity, Sand Bagger at Wiki, Jim, Lee, and Beebull, thanks for everything you have done to promote the comic, and keep the fires burning.

Shaun o'Mac hosted Dan Shotz (Executive Producer), Robert Levine (Writer) , and the President of Devil's Due Publishing, Josh Blaylock.

If you did not get a chance to hear this interview, then please check it out: Link

Here is a short summary of some of the items discussed:

  • All of the creative team were involved with the comic, including Carol Barbee and Jon Turteltaub.
  • A lot of the story will take place in Jericho, so pictures of the sets (buildings and street set) were sent to DDP, so that the comic book will look more like the show.
  • All of our favorite characters are included in the comic. A new family member will be introduced.
  • There will be some new characters, including a new villain.
  • CBS has been supportive of the comic and want the story to move forward.
  • There is still hope for a movie.
  • Dan's last comment - Buy the six issue comic, there will be more to come.

Jericho Fan Tables

There was a Jericho Fan Table at Tuscon36 on 11/13-11/15, run by Andrew Slattery. Andrew reported:

"I was seated in the "dealers room" for a few hours as I arrived early for the "meet the fans" portion of the convention. Aside from the poor condition of the convention rooms and small allocations, about half of the participants stopped by. Several fans of the show hung around to discuss the future of the concept, and a handful of people that disliked the show debated with me over it's "sci-fi qualifications". All in all the business cards were successful, almost everyone that stopped by took one (or more to share with fans they know)."

Thank you Andrew for running the fan table!

There are two more Jericho Fan Tables before year end:

  • LosCon36, Los Angeles, CA - Nov 27-29, one day admission ($20 - $25)
  • Orycon31, Portland, OR - Nov 27-29, one day admission ($25 - $35)

If you live near these cons, then please volunteer to help with the fan table.

We will be having Jericho Fan Tables in 2010, so far these are scheduled:

  • February 26-28, ConDor, San Diego, CA
  • April 2-4, WonderCon, San Francisco, CA
  • May 14-16, LepreCon, Phoeniz, AZ
  • May 22nd, Spokane Comic Con, Spokane, WA
  • July 22-25, Comic Con International, San Diego, CA
  • Oct 1-3, Silicon, San Jose, CA

If you would like to help at one of these tables or have a Jericho Fan Table near you, then please contact: gwen@jericho-kansas.org

Note: For those considering going to Comic Con International, 4 day memberships are Sold Out! One day memberships go on sale on December 15th.

The Jericho fan table has booked a 3 room hotel suite for Comic Con and we are looking for 1-2 more people to share the cost with.

DDP's Comic Forum Discussions

A couple of new discussions are up at Devil's Due Publishing's Jericho forum. Aspiring "Nut" asks "Why J&R created the Hudson River virus?" and Gwen has posted "Issue 4 Spoiler". DDP has created this forum for us something they haven't done for their other titles. Please take some time and engage in some fun and perhaps whimsical discussions and speculations. Here is a list of some topic discussions:

Please don't be overly concerned about the word "spoiler" in the titles. These are just plot synopsis regarding the issues and do not reveal any detail information. Also, feel free to start your own discussion topics. Oh yeah...just one more thing...have fun!

Announcement from Redsox

November 1, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers:

With comic book launch, now set for November 25, 2009, we are now 3 ½ weeks away from the continuation of the Jericho story. Ratkeeper and I have had conversations, with the senior management at DDP, this past week and they will be contacting the various Jericho groups in an attempt to build some buzz and boost sales for the comic.

With that said, we want to not lose site on the future of Jericho, whether it be a movie or a return to television, as a series on EPIX. Epix launched, on October 30, 2009, and they are still working on finalizing deals with 4 additional carriers, in addition to Verizon FIOS that currently are being shown on.

We are looking for everyone to send a letter, post card or email to Epix now through Friday, November 13th. We want them to know that we have not gone away and that we will all tune into Epix, if they put Jericho on the air.

Email EPIX: superfan@epixhd.com

Update from Redsox

October 27, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers:

This past week I have seen people's frustrations with the announced delay of the release of the comic. First and foremost this is not a delay, as no one at Devil's Due ever posted a firm release date. This came from sources at local comic shops or other sources but not from DDP. They have consistently communicated to us that the date was not set.

The fact is CBS has invested time and money in allowing the Jericho Comic book to be produced, marketed and distributed. This is a business, things happen in the production process in all businesses that sometimes cause delays in the release of a product or service. As a private business they are under no obligation to tell the public anything as to why things have been delayed.

Dan Shotz has posted on the Jericho Fan Forum at the DDP site and DDP itself has posted that the comic will come out on November 27, 2009. Ratkeeper and I received an email from Josh (president of DDP) and Cody (Jericho Comic Editor) last week that they want to work directly with the fans to promote the launch of the comic book.

Right now we need to put aside our feelings and look to work with the comic producers to make sure we maximize sales and our chances to get more Jericho. If people start to cancel their subscriptions or pre-orders over a small blip in the radar they may be jeopardizing the future of more Jericho on television or the big screen.

I understand that a few have complained that there is not a direct way to contact DDP and the help email on the website is not reliable. We have sent emails directly to Josh and Cody this weekend and asked them to fix this situation. We also asked them to see if they can send out an email to all those who pre-purchased the comic as a matter of curtesey to let them know about the delay.

We have worked our butts off to get to this point and now is not the time to lose our cool and think short-term. We have 31 days until the release of the comic and we need to continue to work together and remain United in our Goal to get Jericho on the big screen and back on the air hopefully at Epix.

Stay the Course

Operation Phoenix/Jericho Comic Update

October 23, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers,

Yesterday we received a message via the DDP Jericho Forum that the Comic Book has be delayed until Friday, November 27, 2009. http://jerichocomic.squarespace.com/

I know many of you are disappointed or upset about the date being pushed back. But we need to keep things in perspective. Last year at this time, Jericho was dead in the water. Talks had broken down with Comcast and the end was in sight. Then in November of 2008 CBS actually gave us an early Christmas present as Jericho was put on the CW for a 29 week run and as we know, from the producers, they were very pleased with the ratings.

Over the past 19 months we have put articles in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, produced and aired our own TV commercial, put up a billboard in LA, shelled Nielsen's Offices in Tampa and ensured that CBS and EPIX received more mail than Santa Clause. All of this was accomplished by individuals doing their small part, some sent post cards or letters, some sent emails, some contributed money to the TV ad of bill board. But this was and is a collect team effort co-ordinated over the internet. We truly have contributed to the transformation of television.

The comic book was announce early this Spring and it built up momentum in July at Comic Con in San Diego. All the while new fans were discovering Jericho and Rangers throughout North America and across the globe continued to get the word out about this amazing television show.

Right now we have 5 weeks to the comic launch. This is the first new Jericho related storyline product whether it be a TV show, movie or book to come out since March of 2008.

If it had not been for each and every one of us out there in the Jericho Fandom doing our small part, this would never have happened. We have waged a long and hard fought battle with one of the largest corporations in America and we have made them take time, reflect and take Jericho out of the waste basket and look to see if it is worth producing

Epix just announced this week their intention to produce original scripted programming each quarter, be it mini series or 13 episodes dramas. We have an original show with a built in audience that continues to grow despite CBS's best efforts to kill it.

DDP is looking for our help to promote the Jericho Comic Book over the next 5 weeks. All of Us collectively can actually help get a movie and possibly our show back on the air but we need to continue to have faith and tap what ever reserve we have as we head into the stretch run.

I am asking that we come together and work with the DDP representatives and drive this sled over the finish-line. I am convinced we will be rewarded for our hard work and perserverance.

Keep the Faith we are almost there
