Empty chamber _production blog launches
  
  
In conjunction with the September 2006 release of _Empty Chamber _from Silent Devil Entertainment, the creators behind the two-issue mini-series have launched a behind-the-scenes production blog to let readers learn in advance about the story.
  
Series co-creator A. David Lewis (_The Lone and Level Sands_, _Mortal Coils_)was largely inspired by the production blogs of Brian Wood for _ Local _and Joshua Hale Fialkov for the upcoming _World's End_ in regards to creating _Empty Chamber_'s own production site. "Hundreds of man-hours, thousands of words, and pages upon pages of illustration go into any comic
series," says Lewis. "Add to that the promoting, pitching, negotiating, and marketing of a book like  Empty Chamber, and you have a side-business unto itself!"
 
Lewis and partner Jason Copland's goal with the production blog is to make that "side-business" slightly more transparent. "Our hope," says Lewis in the initial posting, "is to not only interest [individuals] in purchasing the series but also partially educate people — either those who want to make their own comics or those who had no idea of the work behind all the fun and entertainment."
 
Gred Burgas, in a recent post for the Comic Book Resources Presents…Comics Should Be Good blog, responded to the story's listing in Diamond's Previews with the following summary: "A young man at Boston University becomes the government's most wanted because he possesses knowledge that might thwart an American genocide.  32 pages for $2.95.  Two issues.  What do you have to lose?"
