SPACE Con/New Allies

Hey everyone from Eric in Columbus, Ohio where G2 is making their presence known in the Small Press/Alternative Comics world. I've met some great people here, and have seen (and purchased) some great artwork/comics!

To start, G2 - Eric and Daniel - personally appreciate each of the fans that purchased our books today - we had a great business day, but more importantly, we got our stories and artwork into the hands of fanboys/girls and other creators alike - thanks to everyone who purchased, and to everyone who showed interest in G2!

Our appreciation also to Packrat Comics and Laughing Ogre Comics (www.laughingogrecomics.com) who both purchased G2 comics to sell in their stores! We appreciate their help in getting the G2 product into the hands of fanboys and girls in this market! We hope the books do well, so they will carry them on a regular basis! If you are a resident of Columbus, be sure to request our books in these stores!

And while there are far to many to mention all of them here, it's been fun meeting some of the other creators, including another team from St. Louis - inlcuding Matt Bryan, Aaron James Ford (www.aaronjamesford.com) and Kevin Wolf (http://pangaea.egocomix.com/); Kevin also has a bio on www.inkanddrinkcomics.com. Our next door neighbor here at the con is www.peculiarcomics.com - the creator known simply as ED with the most innovative marketing idea I have seen yet at a comic con - business cards with stick on fake moustaches - BRILLIANT - I saw dozens (just shy of 100 in fact) of fake moustaches roaming about the con. One of my favorite creators with inventive stories and deeply imaginative artwork was Richard Errington of InterVerse Comics (www.interversecomics.com) - and I bought #1-3 of his title Bushidan (produced with Rowel Roque) which I will read promptly upon my return to St. Louis. I was intrigued by every one of his titles. Another great story was described by Douglas Hufford - whose digital comic "Yuri - The Gypsy Hunter is available digitally at www.yurithecomic.com. Last but not least - one of my favorites on the originality scale is the Plastic Farm title by Rafer Roberts, with artwork contributed by Jacob Warrenfeltz, who also contributed to DC Conspiracy's SHEAR TERROR anthology, which was the first published work of everyones favorite G2 artist Daniel Gracey (find out more about Jacob at http://www.dcconspiracy.com/about.htm! I'll let you check out Rafer's work at www.plasticfarm.com and you can see for yourself just how outrageously interesting this work is!

Finally, I need to give a shout out to the guys at Broken Icon Comics, specifically Eric Watkins. Their work is outstanding (they currently offer four titles on their site) and they are a real down-to-earth team of guys that get excited about promoting the indie scene, and they LOVED Daniel's artwork! You can find podcasts and updates on their Facebook page, including a photo of the G2 booth with our Eric and their Eric proudly holding G2 titles. Also, check out their website at www.brokeniconcomics.com for a podcast interview with Eric of G2 -that's me! They should be giving us an update as to when the podcast interview will air, along with a review of the Triad books!

I know I've missed a few great teams, but I'll be updating Facebook with more as the weekend progresses, and going into next week! Thanks for following us!
