*fake accent* out here in the wilds of Oregon, if we're lucky we might just spot the wild ElfQuest Nerd...
Hi guys! Hey! so how's it going? I'm sorry I have been gone for so long, guys!
I have just had so many things going on in my life recently, it was crazy the
last two months, okay? like, insane amount of things I had to take care of- I had to
deal with-- birthdays, anniversaries, other celebrations and events, just so much stuff
to do, that I had to put my YouTube Channel on the back-burner. so
I'm really sorry about that guys, but, I'm back! I'm ready for more, and my YouTube
brain did not stop that whole time, guys. I have been thinking, I've been coming up
with ideas... I now have ideas for some challenge
videos I want to do, other "Just Mandy" content that isn't necessarily ElfQuest
related, and just a bunch of fun stuff like that. so, I've got videos coming down
the Pike for you guys! just keep an eye out, because... this brain- it didn't stop
that whole time! those two months, I might have not been around on YouTube, but I
was around, and I was thinking, and coming up with stuff! so, we got more stuff
coming out for you guys! in the meantime, I know a lot of you have been waiting--
and like, VERY patiently waiting, I will say-- for me to host my other giveaway!
I have a Starblaze/Donning book that I need to giveaway guys! It's sitting right
here! it's waiting to find out who its new owner is going to be! and we're going
to find that out at the end of this video! but first, I just want to talk a
little bit, say "hi," reacquaint myself with you guys... it's Mandy! I'm back! so let me
give you a little rundown of all the different events and things that I had
to deal with and do-- I won't say "deal with," because that makes it sound
negative, and it was fun! I enjoyed all of it! but, uh-- I made a list of everything I
had to do! starting with March 31st- that was my
daughter's birthday. April 11th was my own birthday,
April 12th is my mother-in-law's birthday. May 14th was Mother's Day. May 25th was my
son's birthday. June 4th- I didn't do anything for, but I just have to include
it in my list because June 4th is the wonderful Wendy Pini's birthday! Happy
Birthday! Happy Belated Birthday ElfMom! we love you! Ummm... June 12th was my own wedding
anniversary. June 18th was--was Father's Day. June 23rd
was my best friend's wedding and I was the Matron of Honor for the event, and
then of course, on June 28th we had New Comic Book Day, and there was also also
two very special birthdays on June 28th- Sonny Strait and Rob Beschizza also celebrated their
birthdays on that same day! if you guys aren't familiar with the names, Sonny
Strait and Rob Beschizza, what are you doing here? because those are very big
names in our ElfQuest community over on Facebook!
Sonny Strait, of course, is the wonderful amazing colorist for the Final Quest!
he's doing a great job with these-- uh... with the colors on this! I, personally,
think this is the best coloring job ElfQuest has ever received! no offense to
any of the other color artists, Sonny's just doing a fantastic job! and uh-- Rob Beschizza
is a big-time ElfQuest fan, he's also a writer for Boing Boing, and he's
one of the webmasters on the official ElfQuest website. his birthday was also
on June 28th! Rob has also got a fantastic Pike cosplay, guys! like, he
looks like he stepped off the pages of ElfQuest! like, see this right here? you
see that? see that? that's Pike-- that's Rob! alright, so June 28th, as I said was New
Comic Book Day, and the wonderful next issue of Final Quest came out! Final
Quest number 20 is out! now, guys, in case you didn't know the Final Quest is only
slated to run for 24 issues-- only I say! I know--- it's so short, right? but Final Quest
is only slated to run for 24 issues, *watch beeps* meaning we only have four more issues to
go, before the Final Quest is over! and from the sounds of it, this could be it
guys! I mean, at least for Wendy and Richard. they are basically going into
retirement after Final Quest ends. Wendy has said that
she will not adhere to a schedule for publishing again! so, while this might not
be the actual end of ElfQuest, it is the Final Quest for many characters. for our
own ElfMom and ElfPop, and it's a little bit of a somber event. but, it's really
cool, because the Final Quest will be ending with issue 24, which will release
on the exact 40th Anniversary of ElfQuest! issue number 24 will release on
February 28th, 2018-- 40 years TO-THE-DAY from when ElfQuest first appeared in
Fantasy Quarterly number 1, back in 1978, guys! so that's a pretty interesting
little tidbit, I thought that was really kind of cool.
it's sad that Final Quest is ending, but hey, if it's going to go out, it's gotta go out
with a BANG, right guys? so, it also sounds like Dark Horse is planning some kind of
year-long celebration! I'm not exactly sure what they mean by that, but from the
sounds of it, there's going to be some cool stuff coming down the Pike! uh-- Wendy
and Richard are due to be at San Diego Comic Con, and if they also just
announced that there will be a "mystery panel" held at San Diego Comic Con!
now that mystery panel is a mystery because they haven't said what it's
about! they... they say that there's big announcements, but that's it! so guys I'm
excited to hear about what that is! unfortunately, I cannot attend a San
Diego Comic Con myself, so I will be looking out for videos and pictures! so
make sure you post videos and pictures, and make sure you let-- give me some links
to those things, guys, because I want to see whatever is going to go down at San
Diego Comic Con in that mystery panel! all right so Final Quest issue number 20
came out, as well as the Complete Final Quest Volume Number 3! this one collects
issues number 13 through 18, and it's pretty awesome! it's a great way to catch
up on the series if you're not collecting the individual issues, or if
you're a little bit behind and you want to just read them all in one big go, this
is a great series guys! they've already got books 1 & 2 out. book 4, the last one
in the series, of course, won't come out until after Final Quest ends next year!
so guys, get this one if you haven't got it already! I'll put some links down in
the description of this video below, so you guys can go pick up your own copy of
the Complete Final Quest Volume 3 and Final Quest number 20.
so as I mentioned, my brain was non-stop while I was taking my break
from YouTube. I was coming up with ideas for challenges, for other videos that I
want to do, maybe a few Let's Plays, and I also put up a website guys! it's not "Just Mandy.com"
I'm working on getting a better domain name than what it is, but
it's-- right now, as of right now it's some long confusing domain name, and I'll
put a link down in the description below for you guys to just click on it, so you
can just go to it without having to type it in! but in any case, please check out
my new website, I just put it up! I put up some of my favorite pictures, some of my
favorite cosplay shots, I put up information about myself, links to all my
playlists, uh-- I put a little bit of pictures from my frie-- from my family, and loved
ones, so make sure you give that a che-- check that out, and let me know what you think!
if you think it needs anything changed, if you think, uh-- I could do anything
differently to it, suggestions are welcome guys! go ahead
and use my Contact page on my new website to let me know of any of those.
or go ahead and leave it down in the comment section below here! either way
will work! I'll read them both! alright guys? so, that's enough jabbering-on, let's
