Journal Zero

The title says it all. We are less than a month away from the official release of Night Zero: Volume Two, and are now accepting preorders for this gorgeous volume of collected works. At 190 pages, this book is twice the size of our first volume and contains everything that Night Zero produced in our second year. It’s not cheap for an independent production to self-publish a book of this caliber, printed right here in the USA, and your preorders help make it possible. Every preordered copy will be signed by the cast and crew, shipped free anywhere in the continental US, and include admission (and perks) at the release party in Seattle on March 6th.

Hard to believe it’s already been a full year since our book came out, and what an incredible year it’s been. So much of 2008 was just figuring out how to produce a photographic novel, while in 2009 we were able to take flight and really explore what our incredibly capable team could do. Volume One was our inception, and contained two comics: the Pilot and Episode One, as well as a short story and a variety of behind-the-scenes and origin pieces. Volume Two is our expansion, and contains five comics: Jezebel, Episode Two, Episode Three, the untitled vignette, and Sisters, plus a prequel short story and special insights on the graphic novel.

Thanks to the crossover scene between Episode One and Episode Two, the oldest photos in this new book reach all the way back to the summer of ‘08, one of the first times many of the cast members met, and spans all the way through the Quarantine shoots that fall; Jezebel, the untitled vignette, and some Seattle exterior shoots in the winter; the various skullhunters in the spring; the amazing Sisters vignette during the summer; all the way to the Nazarovs’ scenes and the scratcher catchers the following autumn. I cannot count the number of people involved nor the thousands of combined hours spent to create the contents of this book, but I can say that it is a beautiful piece of art and a deserving sequel to our debut release.

In these tough economic times, luxuries and entertainments are all the more harder to justify, and art is one of the first victims of tightened budgets. Should you decide to purchase Volume Two, know that Night Zero is a not-for-profit organization which supports local businesses and organizations through production purchases and rentals, and that the books themselves are printed in the Chicago area by a small, family-owned business. Not only are these beautiful books priced to sell, but your support helps us cover the cost of printing and continue producing this unique and exciting graphic novel of the post-apocalypse.
