“We all waited a year to see this? I’m outta here!” – random viewer
Well, there you have it, the first pages of Volume 2. It has officially begun!
There are a few cool things that have happened this week that I’m proud to announce. First of all reMIND won first place in the Los Angeles Book Festival in the Young Adult category. Just so you are not confused, this is not the New York Times Festival of Books fair. (which is ridiculously big) but none the less it is another award that I can proudly boast about.
Another cool thing is this:
Yes, that is a prototype plushie Victuals keychain! I am getting 25 of these made for my convention circuit this year. I think I’ll be selling them for… I don’t know yet but if you want one then come see me at a convention! If you can’t make it to a convention then hold tight because I will make them available another way soon! ;) I can’t give away the details just yet but… kickstarter(cough).
No, I am not launching a kickstarter for Volume 2 yet. That will be a good year from now but I do plan on launching a new kickstarter to try to get the funds for a second printing of Volume 1. I want to offer lots of other goodies as pledge incentives this time so make sure to check back here each Monday to see if I announced it yet. I’m still not sure when I will do it. First I need to do my taxes and then I want to finished some pages I’ve been working on, then I need to goto a few conventions and THEN I will start working on a new Kickstarter video. So my guess is probably sometime at the end of March if possible.
More defective or damaged copies of reMIND for sale for $10 each!
As I go through my books I usually set aside copies with slightly crooked cloth bindings or cuts and tears. Sometimes they just have glue on the cloth and sometimes they are just plain messed up! There are a few that are missing the white piece of paper that attaches the binding to the book pages but it still can be read like any other copy of reMIND and unless you are looking for what is missing, you won’t notice. Anyway, I am selling off these damaged or defective copies again in my store so head on over if you want to pick up a cheap copy of reMIND for $10 plus $3 for shipping and handling.
Last time I announced this on Twitter I sold out of 7 copies in less than an hour. This time I have 15! Oh yeah, I’ll sign them too!
Here is a link to it in my store. (defects only) [EDIT - Defects are sold out again]

If you want to get a perfect copy then you will have to order it onĀ Amazon. Sorry.
Lastly, please help me spread the word that reMIND is updating again! The only way this can continue to be a success is if awesome people like you spread it around the interwebs! Until next Monday, I’m out!








It has BEGUN!! :) So glad to see this has started again!
Me too! :)
Welcome back! I love the clouds and the small peek at the lighthouse. I am excited that Volume 2 has begun.
Thanks Steven! Glad you like the intro.
It’s nice to see “reMIND” returning!
Tell me about it!
I’m so soooo excited to read this! This is a wonderful first spread; a real contrast to the darkness of the ending of the first volume!
Thanks! Yeah, I started it out dark just like the ending of Vol 1 but last minute I had to change it. But it will get darker fast. haha
Nice clouds. I like the way you rendered them… It’s a pretty unique way to do it.
I already forgot what it was like with updates every week (or so). Looking forward to the next spread!
Thanks Aviv! I was inspired by some Moebius clouds when I created these pages.
Hmmm, flashback to her father me thinks. Wonder if thats her or someone/something else. Love the page BTW. I find myself wanting to reach in there and tear those clouds away to see the rest, or even desperately trying to peer closer for a look at who’s in the wind generator.
I always love reading you comments Charles81! It will be fun to read what you think as this unfolds.
Awesome! You make even the simple pages look great.
It might be simple but it takes me forever to figure it out. :(
Beautiful job, Jason! Glad to have you “back”!!
Glad to be back my friend! I feel like I’m having a family reunion here. :)
good to see you back. IT BEGINS! haha
Yep yep yep!
Vol 2. is officially here and couldnt have come any sooner. Huge fan of your work and cant wait to see what happens next.
Thank you JoeCab!
Woo! It’s back and as beautiful as ever. Love the page.
Thanks David!
Looking forward to the ride. It’s as moody a start as one could have hoped!
:) Glad you like how it started. hehe
I came late to the party, so I haven’t had quite as long to anticipate this. But I am excited to see what happens next!
Glad you are even at the party. :)
Just ordered a copy!
Thank you!!!
WOW!
Thanks Mathew.
huzzah!!! a beautiful page and an intriguing hook already (as if the end of the previous page wasn’t a hook enough!!! Eagerly awaiting the coming installments!
Thanks Vonbek!
Well, looks like it was worth the wait.
This might be my first comment. I started reading reMIND close to two years ago; I very much enjoyed Volume 1 and I bought a copy. Now I’m looking forward to Volume 2!
Wow, you’ve been along for the ride from the start then. Thanks for sticking it out with me… and for making your first comment! :)
I know this is down the road, but I can’t wait to support your vol 2 kickstarter so I can complete the set. I’m looking forward to the weekly posts! Great work as always Jason.
Thanks John! The Volume 2 Kickstarter will be about a year from now but I am eagerly awaiting it too. :)
Good to see it coming to fruition, Jason! Just goes to show you, the best kind of readers will wait for quality. Gives us all hope. And congratulations on the continued recognition. It’s well deserved!
–M
Thanks M! The response of this first page going live has really given me a new hope that everyone has been patiently waiting just like you say. It’s quite a relief actually because everyone always claims that your audience will disappear and hate you if you go on hiatus.
I’ve missed Sonja, Victuals and everybody/thing @ reMIND. A LOT.
Welcome back, Jason .-)
Hey il Biggo! It’s great to see you back here commenting too! I feel like all my old friends are back now! What a great feeling. :)
Congratulations on your honors. Believe me, I’ll stay tuned for new pages. I’ll be sure to share them all along social media and get you plenty of attention.
Hey Max! Thank you for always sharing my work. It really means a lot to me. :)
WoW!!!
:)
Crazy stuff. I love it! ;)
Thanks Charles!
Beautiful! I just love your illustrative technique and your coloring. Really looking forward to getting back into the story. This will be one of 4 webcomics where I will be purchasing the books. Already have Vol 1 and am excited about when you will have Vol 2 up for sale (at some time in the future). Really great job.
Hey Susan! Thanks for commenting. And I really appreciate you purchasing a copy of reMIND 1 and 2(in the future). I am honored to have made one of the 4 webcomics that will be on your shelf. :)
Fantastic work Jason, I came here by recommendation from Daniel Lieske’s Wormworld Saga and I totally see why your banner is on his page. I actually think it should be all over the internet (which reminds me to spread the word on Facebook).
I love your choice of colors, I like the way the story unfolds and you really have the feeling for cliff hangers. :D
I wish you all the best and a great muse. I’m eager to see more and am thinking about buying Vol.1! :3
GNRAAAAHHH I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED THIIIS
