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.

Comic Preview Page Hunt

Full color preview pages were posted on the different Jericho boards this week:

JKI has offered a prize, to the first fan, who finds the location of the daily preview page. Prize will be an 8.5 x 11 cloth Allied States Flag. Once you find the preview page, e-mail Gwen at gwen@jericho-kansas.org and put Comic Preview Page in the subject and the URL of the preview page.

Devils Due Publishing is also offering a Grand Prize for the Preview Hunt. One of the six daily winners will receive a signed copy of the Jericho Collector's Preview (Ashcan). This was signed at Comic Con by the show's producers and writers.

There will be one more preview posted on Saturday (11/21/09), so Happy Hunting!

Note: There will be previews for the second issue, so stay tuned for more details.

TV Talk BlogTalk Radio Show - Jericho Comic Interview

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
