Cape Con Recap

What a tremendous opportunity to have been part of the CapeCon Comic Convention in Cape Girardeau, Missouri this past weekend! We met some outstanding new fans and made some new friends! Among those were the guys at Nerd Word; check out their Facebook page and just go ahead and click LIKE - they were a great bunch of guys who love comics, gaming and all of geekdom!
We also found a new home for some of our favorite titles - the Raptor Sniper book will now be available at the Marvels and Legends Store in Cape Girardeau, and The Hour of the Dragon Store in Sikeston, Missouri! The Raptor book is definitely a hot commodity - so be sure to get yours while you can (if you haven't already!) Also, look for the Raptor Samurai book to drop sometime in July - Evan Thomas is hard at work on the interior pencils, Michael Brewer is on inks, and Daniel will be taking on the role of coloring and lettering, as well as all that boss-like stuff like getting the book printed and in the stores. It's been a whirlwind project - and one that we've been producing as the script is being written. We really want to get that book into the hands of all our fans! As a sneak peek - Dan should be getting the prints for Raptor Samurai up online to purchase sometime later this week, along with prints for Antic 3 and Kross and Vengeance, the follow up to The Triad which is in the early stages of production and should see a late fall release this year yet.
Speaking of Kross and Vengeance - we're very excited to welcome aboard another addition to the G2 team - Tal Hertweck of FantasyFrox.com. She's a very talented seamstress and character model who will be donning her very own Kross costume for Wizard World Chicago. She appeared at Cape Con as "Revy" of the Black Lagoon anime series, the sultry "Black Cat" from the Spiderman comics, and "Cheyenne Freemont" the sexy female "Nightwing!" We are thrilled to have her with us, and we're sure the fanboys will be too!
A special thanks needs to go to Ken Murphy who coordinated the Cape Con and was a gracious host - we at G2 can be primadonnas sometimes (LOL!) We also want to be sure to thank every fan who stopped by and made a purchase, and those who just browsed. We met some up and coming young talent, and some great costumed characters! Thanks especially to Harley and Rorschach - you know who you are - for being our biggest new fans. Finally - thanks to Evan Thomas who joined us for the first time as part of the G2 team at the Cape Con! He brought his portfolio, his prints, and hammered out several commissions during his time at the booth. He was great to hang with and added a lot to the G2 booth!
