Wednesday, November 2nd: Power has been restored to the ComiXpress Offices in northern New Jersey. Please bear with us as we dig in and start getting caught up. We’ll get back to everyone as quickly as possible, and thank you in advance for your continued patience!
Power Outages From East Coast Snowstorm Near 3 Million
Northern New Jersey suffered an unheard of early blizzard, as a snowstorm dumped dumped as much as 30 inches of wet, heavy snow that snapped power lines and trees, causing widespread power outages.
The unseasonably early nor’easter had utility companies struggling to restore electricity to millions of homes and businesses. By late Sunday, the number of outages had dipped to below three million and continued falling. But Officials in some states warned that it could be days or even a week before residents have power again, even though crews have been brought in from as far away as Michigan and Canada.
Once again, ComiXpress offices are in the heart of the power outage. We apologize for any delays this may cause, and will keep you updated with new developments.
Thank you.
ComiXpress offices, located in Bergen County New Jersey, suffered minor structural damages in the wake of Hurricane Irene this Saturday and a loss of electrical power on Sunday. PSE&G (New Jersey’s electric company) has offered no estimate regarding when we can expect our power returned but we hope to be back up and knocking out the comics as soon as possible!
Thanks for your understanding as we deal with this,
The ComiXpress Team
UPDATE: Power has been restored to our offices as of Tuesday, August 30. We’re already tearing into the books, and appreciate your patience during this difficult time.
UPDATE 2, Thursday September 1st: Sporadic power outages have continued in our area since it was returned on Tuesday. We have been told that a permanent fix will be in place this weekend, and in the meantime we’ve been in full production mode as long as the lights are on! Again, our thanks for your continued patience.

I know this has been stated before, but it bears repeating from time to time: ComiXpress will not print material if the copyright or licensing of the book is in question. We are here to help indie and small press comic creators get their own original works into print; not to print copyrighted works when the person submitting that work isn’t the creator. If copyright or licensing is uncertain or there is any question in that regard, we will err on the side of caution and not print it.
