Early reviews are already praising Nathan Edmondson (THE LIGHT, OLYMPUS) and Tonci Zonjic’s WHO IS JAKE ELLIS?, with Broken Frontier calling it “cooler than a George Clooney snowman” and “deliciously entertaining.”

Edmondson, the writer of this new hit from Image Comics, will be touring across the southern part of the country, starting in Los Angles on January 13, and making a U-turn in Pensacola, FL, to wrap up the JAKE ELLIS SEES EVERYTHING TOUR in Atlanta, GA, on January 26.

Unfortunately, Zonjic can’t make the trip from Croatia to join Edmondson on the tour, but he has provided original art, one piece of which will be given to the first fan in line at each of Edmondson’s stops!

You can meet Edmondson at the following stops on the JAKE ELLIS SEES EVERYTHING TOUR:
