The printing process for the Triad is in its final 10 days. The more we plan for the release, the more anxious we get to see the final hard copy.
When we are informed of the anticipated delivery date we will be revealing the dates for the events and other things related to The Triad and G2.
What I do know for sure:
-There will be a release party....a big, fun release party!
-The comics are going to be sold at Culture Shock and Newcastle Comics shops, and we hope to do a signing at both locations. Other locations will be added to the list within the next 2 weeks.
-The Triad #1 (3.00) will come with THE LOST PAGE, Triad #2 Preview, and some other goodies!
-The website will be completely redone by the first week of September with a brand new look and extras including our online store, character bios, upcoming title teasers and much more!
-If there is anything i forgot to tell you all, you will hear about it on the next blog!

Comic Con '09
Greetings from the Chicago Comc Con!
The con is going great. Ive already given out 100+ promotional pieces, and have made a lot of good connections. Since my arrival, ive generated some detailed art for our characters in the 1st book, and some concept art for the second, along with pages for Triad #2.
The Triad will be sold in Culture Shock in St. Peters, and i am meeting with about 7 other shops next week. I will be updating the website every week by Friday, so stay tuned for release locations and signing events as well as new gallery sections and character bios...
...we love feedback from those who have visited the site and/or read the book, so give us a shout!

Off To The Presses!!!
G2 is proud to announce that The Triad #1: B&W has been sent today to Ka-Blam Digital Printing (http://ka-blam.com/printing/index.php?page=Home) and will be ready for release within mere weeks! Can you say "RELEASE PARTY?"
But the last few weeks have not been all celebration. Daniel has been working night and day to wrap up the inks, lettering, and the amazing cover, now visible at www.G2comics.com. But despite the hard work, and after careful planning and plotting of the pages, we had determined, much to our chagrin, just before sending the pages to Ka-Blam that a crucial two-page spread was not going to fall on facing pages. Racking our brains, we finally came up with a plan that involved cutting a cool but non-crucial scene from what used to be page 6. (Of course, you can still find this scene in The Triad: Preview, and in The Triad: ASHCAN books.) Nonetheless, I think I've convinced Daniel to hang on to this excellent piece of art to use in a future book, or perhaps as a variant cover on #1 as things progress for us.
And delving into progress, the plan remains to continue to tell the story of The Triad, with Daniel beginning work on pencils for the full color Triad #2 this week in preparation for the WizardWorld Chicago Comic Con August 7th, 8th, and 9th. Upon completion of Triad #4, which is the final installment in the "Soul Saver's" story-line, we plan to re-release Triad #1 in full color to make the collection complete. I am sure we will be looking at adding some cool stuff to what could easily become our first "Director's Cut" book (perhaps a preview of Daniel Gracey's own Antic: The Chapters of Levith? We will let Daniel decide!)
And G2 is not planning to stop there. We have loads of stories to tell, including Redd Kross (from the pages of The Triad), and even Tales of the Triad giving a glimpse of the Angelus Elect that fought long before the time of Lysandra. There are also intentions for new ideas, such as Daniel's Antic; my cosmic superteam, The Collective; and 74, an updated look at time travel (though some of these are only in the development stages.) With all that work, G2 may need to find an extra artist to help out!
But we are not ready to start accepting resume's yet. I suppose I should let us get off the ground first, and we are definitely putting every effort into making The Triad a great book that is easily accessible to comic book fans. Daniel has even begun to meet with local St. Louis comic shops, and though many of the larger chains are loyal to mega-distributors, we hope to see our book in stores by September. We'll also be setting up on-line ordering options for #1 and the Preview!
Needless to say, we are thrilled to be on the verge of seeing our work in print, and in the hands of our fans. And thanks to Daniel's hard work, and our friends at Ka-Blam, we are witnessing our dream ready to take flight!
