Thanks!  Well since you've mentioned Vampires Unlimited I'll start off the thread with a list of the VU series and summaries of the stories contained:

Volume 1: The LAST RESORT- The six chapter story where we’re introduced to sisters Veronica "Ronnie" and Penny Briggs as we follow their adventures after running away from their physically, mentally, and sexually abusive household. 

Volume 2: The LAZARUS FACTOR- Veronica "Ronnie" Briggs is one of many runaways used in horrific and illegal experiments.  What is the secret to “the Lazarus Factorâ€� and what will happen once its secrets are unlocked?

Volume 3: NIGHT DREAMS- Veronica "Ronnie" Briggs and Thomas Berrison try to rebuild new lives after being exposed to “the Lazarus Factorâ€�.  The duo is reunited with old friends and after taking ownership of an abandoned church and warehouse they start a nightclub and a band.  But in the process they learn more about the supernatural than they bargained for.

Volume 4- The SHADES OF THINGS TO COME- Two Korean teens are caught between a massive turf war and the Night Dreams vampires are drawn into the battle.  During the violence they stumble upon a Neo Nazi plot.

Volume 5- WOLVES- A serial killing newlywed couple, bitten a year ago by werewolves come upon a mysterious artifact called a Blood Stone that enhances and furthers their change.  Looking for this important item are ancient vampires Sekhmet and Karacos (and also introducing their prodigy Night Moon, Nadia, and Bambijo) who come to enlist the aid of the Night Dreams vampires to find the stone before another ancient vampire named Quietus discovers it to use for his own evil purposes.

Volume 6- ETERNAL DARKNESS- With the activation of a Blood Gem, the vampire nation goes into a power frenzy.  A small group resurrects an ancient sorcerer vampire who uses her arcane abilities to plunge the city into darkness, and eventually the whole world to create a utopian planet for vampire kind with herself as the ruler!  Raven enlists the aid of the Night Dreams vampires to stop this madwoman, and Lothos tags along for the ride against zombies, ghosts, and shape-shifting vampires!

Volume 7- HUNTERS- A group of monster hunters have their sights set on Lothos and from chaos caused by young werewolves Shades is taken by them!  Shades has to prove his worth as he becomes a Hunter himself.  Loyalties are tested and romance begins within this series.

Volume 8- VIOLENCE- Rum faces the repercussions of his failed mission and the events that happened in his former unit these many years later.  D-Bone teams up with him as they discover a military secret with sinister ties to organized crime in the city

Volume 9- WAR- A savage pack of werewolves has succeeded in exterminating major vampire covens in the New York City area, and the Night Dreams vamps are next on their agenda!  Guardian now knows who the traitor is that he prophesized about almost a decade ago, and it weighs heavy on his heart.  Doll scrambles to find out who the traitor is, and try to stop them before they do the deed- but the mystery is hard to solve when they all have secrets and motives.

Volume 10- SERAGLIO DE LILLITH- Now homeless, our vampires take Karacos’ suggestion and seeks out the mysterious vampire known as Lillith… and they are surprised to discover that she runs a coven of over 200 members which is a mixture of humans, vampires, and werewolves who obey and love her all in the spirit of lust!  Will the Sci Vamps embrace this new lifestyle while there are three ancient vampires wreck havoc on the city?

Volume 11- The LONG HARD ROAD OUT OF HELL, Part 1- Together, stronger, and more united our vampires set out to follow up on leads that may or may not give clues to their origins.  Main stops: Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas.

Volume 12- The LONG HARD ROAD OUT OF HELL, Part 2- The journey continues and comes to a startling conclusion.

What are the months that these titles will be available?

Currently it looks like October 2006... it sounds like a long time from now (a bit over a year) but it'll be worth the wait.

Plus once we start it'll be a fast moving train.  A few of the archs will be released as single comics but most will be released as full original graphic novels.  Our goal is to get 5 years of story out in 2 years.  So expect lots of books to drop all at once (roughly 2 to 4 complete books every 6 months).

Each book should have the above chart and the spines will be numbered so you can buy any one in any order and be fine or if you want to buy more and read in order later it will be easy to do.

October 2006 will start off with the complete Vampires Unlimited: Shades of Things to Come along with issue #1 of the monthly six issue Vampires Unlimited: Wolves arch.

Thank you for the kind words!  Rom has been a great friend and creator- It's hard remembering a time doing comics without him on my side.  And it has been a great honor working on Lethal Instinct with him- I can't wait to finish Lethal vol 2!!!

AlexApprobation, how are your comic projects going, what's new?

Wow, you are really, really busy!  I definitely want to pick up some of theos issues you mentioned.  Good luck with your move later this month, hope you're happy with your new place.  The next month is going to be crazy busy for me too.

Hi Bart!  Happy holidays!  Are you going to be at Wizard World 2006 in Chicago this summer?

Cool, it will be great to catch-up with you there, I also have to make sure I pick up all kinds of comics from you too (like any new issues of the "Vampires Unlimited" comic).

Cool!  What can you tell us about the one titled "Wolves"?  Sounds very intriguing!

Sounds sooooooooooooooooo awesome Bart!  I plan to get everyone of your "Vampires Unlimited" comics, as I really like that series a lot.

Happy new year Bart!  I think you need a new werewolf character based on that weird person you met at Wizard World last summer (ha, ha), he can be Osiris's side kick (ha, ha).
