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! Follow the link drivethrucomics.com and type G2 Comics in the Advanced Search field and begin browsing The Triad #1-3 or Antic #1 today!

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!
