Have you heard about the ACT-I-VATE Primer? It's a hardcover collection of stories from the A-I-V creators (including Dean Haspiel, Nick Bertozzi, Roger Langridge, Molly Crabapple, Simon Fraser, Tim Hamilton, etc. etc.) coming in October from IDW. Hyeondo Park and I have a new SAM & LILAH story in there, and all of the stories in the book are exclusive (that is, they don't appear on the http://www.activatecomix.com website). It will make its official debut at the Baltimore Comicon, and will be in stores either immediately before the show or immediately thereafter (depending on Diamond's shipping schedule). Oh, and it's got an introduction by Warren Ellis.
The Diamond code is AUG090968.
You can see a preview of the book, which includes the covers and one page from each story, here:
