The next two months

First off, we at G2 would like to thank all of the fans that have been supporting us since the release of The Triad #1 in Sept. '09. We feel that the artwork, stories and exposure have come a long way, and we would not be here if it wasn't for your dedication!

Antic: The Chapters of Levith #1 now reigns as #26 out of the top 100 books at drivethrucomics.com! We are competing with major titles like Witchblade, Judge Dredd, Mouse Guard, and many more from major labels! This kind of reception only fuels the fire of creativity for us, and we are sure that our future titles will progress further than anyone's expectations!

So, here's what we have for the next two months:

Antic: The Chapters of Levith #2 will be releasing in the next two weeks. (Official release date to come) and will pick up where #1 left off with Entigus' and Bayard's conflict. #2 will also be 12 pages, but will progress to 24 for #3 and #4, and 48 pages for #5

The Triad Series will come to a close in December with the release of The Triad #4 (48 pages), which will wrap up the Triad's account of the present ongoings in the Celestial Realm. There will be a 7-8 page color preview of Eric's new title "Kross and Vengeance", which will introduce new characters, revisit characters from the Triad, and continue the story of the Celestial Realm.

Along with new titles, look for new character bios and illustrations. There will be an expansion of products in the G2 store including WEB EXCLUSIVE prints (they will be numbered, sold through the site, and will not be printed again once the stock runs out), stickers, and (hopefully) t-shirts!

Updates are posted to the site more frequently, so keep visiting!

What's Next For G2

Fall is officially here and with the new season comes some exciting announcements from G2 Comics, the next generation of graphic storytelling! First, let's talk about Antic II! It's Demi-God vs. Demon-Spawn as heroes make ready for battle in the second installment of the Chapters of Levith. Daniel has been working on new panels and the cover art, and everything is looking great!

Once Antic II is released (October), G2 will jump right into the Triad #4, wrapping up the first of four mini-series revolving around the Third Heavenly Schism. Savior meets betrayer and bureaucracy crumbles in this final battle, told in 41 pages with a 7 page preview of the new series, Kross and Vengeance (previously REDD Kross).

Adding to the depth of our stories, G2 will be posting bi-weekly/monthly character bios. Many characters in the Triad and Antic universes have stories that we feel need to be told, but rather than make you buy 100 other titles, we're offering a peek into the lives of Angels and Demi-gods right on our website. Just click on the COMICS tab on the G2 homepage, select your favorite title, and click on CHARACTERS to find stats and backgrounds on some of your favorite G2 characters, as well as an occasional sneak peek at new characters. We will also be offering prints of some of these same characters to purchase online, so you won't have to wait for the next Convention Exclusive prints to get your favorite G2 art!

Finally, if you are looking for a more cost-efficient way of reading your favorite G2 titles, check out Drive-Thru comics, where G2 titles are currently posted as digital comics, for as low as $0.50!

Project: ComicCon 2!

It's been about a week since the St. Louis Project: Comic Con and once again, we had a great time! Daniel did some amazing work on new panels for Antic II (still due to release in October!) and got some outstanding recognition from some DC artists. We also had a chance to meet Top Cow artist Kenneth Rocafort (Velocity), who took an opportunity to browse Daniel's portfolio. The show overall has been great - we sold out of Antic I, and the second printing of The Triad #3 found its way into the hands of both new and existing fans! Check out a picture of us at Project: Comic Con 2 here: http://www.riverfronttimes.com/slideshow/project-comic-con-2-31106765/36/.

We're also getting to know some great people in the biz, and have found that there are a lot more creators in St. Louis than one might think. A favorite included Nathan Ohlendorf of http://www.sadlittles.com/ who was at the table next to us. Check out the trading cards at his site!

Back to Business

It's been a few days since the Chicago Con and the G2 team is well rested and ready to get back to work. Thanks again to all of the outstanding new fans of G2 Comics. We met some great people as well, including our booth-mates Steve Harmon, creator of the "Maiden Hell" comic book and Tatiana Kalba of Scrapped Clothing. I've read Steve's comic and love the storyline. If you're a fan of The Triad, check out his work at http://www.harmoncomics.net/. Tatiana creates screen tees and handbags with a twist. My favorite is her "Bocce, motherf*cker, do-you-speak-it?" mash up of the Pulp Fiction and Star Wars genres, though "Han Shot First" is a close second. Find Tatiana's wares at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ScrappedClothing. I think it's just to be expected that if you have a name like Tatiana, you're automatically pretty cool.
We also met booth-mate Jose Rodarte, a talented superhero artist and all around nice guy. He was there for his first comic convention too, and we had tons of fun with him, snapping pictures of the costumed characters walking the con. You can check out the fun on the G2 Facebook page, where you'll find pictures of the G2 booth and some of the great costumes we saw.
Be sure to also check out the G2 podcast interview from Justin at It's All, It's All Good site. You can link it from the G2 Comics homepage!
Finally, look for new weekly updates from the G2 team, including character bios starting next week with the Archangel Uriel and Triad #4 characters Metatron and Sandalphon! Take care for now from Daniel and Eric at G2! The next generation of graphic storytelling!

G2 at Wizard World Chicago!!!

Hey everyone from Daniel and Eric in the Windy City where we are live in the WIZARD World Chicago Comic Con! It's been a blast so far - we've met some great new fans, and Daniel has done some great commission artwork, including two original, one-of-a-kind Triad and Antic sketches. Thanks to anyone and everyone who has come by the G2 booth to browse or buy - or just to get to know us! We've given out LOADS of G2 art-postcards and business cards, and most importantly, we've met some great people, including some very well dressed characters and some very talented artists. Check out some photos on the G2 Facebook page! Daniel also spoke with our new favorite artist, Greg Horn. Check out his stuff HERE: http://greghornjudge.com.
Some other great news - we released THE TRIAD #3 right here in Chicago on day two of the con, and it looks great! Be sure to look out for it on the G2 site to get your very own copy with the new G2 artistic style. Also, begin to look for other great features we will be adding to the site including character bios and story-line tie-ins! Coming Soon!

The New View for G2

Hello all,

It has been a while since our last post...we have been working on a shift in artwork from the

TRAD (traditional) comic art to fine art/digital painting. We want to present a more realistic approach to storytelling; and realism seems to fit our genre the best. We hope our fans and followers will be able to wait patiently as the process for the next few books (Antic 1&2 and The Triad #3) will be released a bit later than expected. We assure you all that the wait will be all but futile. Check out the website on March 26th for the new art as well as another revision to the site (yeah, i know). At this point in our endeavor, we ask for feedback more than ever. Constructive criticism will ultimately effect the quality of our books and for the experience of new readers. We hope to hear from you and we look forward to bringing you more great titles from the world of G2 soon!

Triad Turns to Quarterly

We are shifting gears here at G2 to unveil our new style of art sooner than we had anticipated. Eric and I decided to keep the Triad series as a quarterly series (because that's how its been so far), and release Antic: The Chapters of Levith in March instead. I am planning a release party for Antic which will have more bulk to it due to the amount of work we have going this year. I am working on putting together a concept art/preview book for Antic and R.E.D.D. KROSS before the actual release, so keep an eye out for that. We will be unveiling the characters for both books at the Spector Club Comic Show on Feb 28th. Need more info...go to: www.g2comics.com.

Triad Wrap Up

The Triad series will be coming to a close in the next couple of months with #3 and 4 wrapping up the adventures of the elected three as a team (spoiler?). We have many other books starring the characters from the Triad Universe, which will dawn a new style of art and a new image of G2 Comics. I hope you all enjoy the Triad Series wrap up and look forward to a great collection of titles to come starting in March with Antic: The Chapters of Levith, and May/June with R.E.D.D. KROSS, and many other titles to be revealed later this year.

Look for us at the Spector Club Comic Shows, Wizard World Chicago: Artist's Alley, and Project Comic Con 2 in St. Louis this year.

The pressure is on

Hey all!

The Triad #2 is available for purchase at our stores, on our site, and directly from Eric and Daniel...if you can ever catch us!!

We have been in contact with the guys that are putting on the big Project Comic Con 2 in St. Louis (August), and will hopefully have a table there. We will be in Chicago in August as well for the big WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO con that we attended last year. The pressure builds for Daniel to keep up with each issue on top of creating art for promo material for the cons.

We will have more of the sketches on the site by the end of the week, and hopefully a color preview by next Monday!

Till next time!
