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!

Get Your Own G2 Artwork!!!

Ever wish you could have you favorite G2 characters adorning your wall, but you haven't been able to get to any of the conventions to buy the exclusives? Daniel has just announced that he will be releasing prints to the sight on the 15th and 30th of every month for our fans to purchase! That's exciting news as he shifts his style for the prints to achieve a higher, "fine art" quality. That means we'll be offering more prints like the now infamous "Cathedral" print that sold out early on Saturday of the Wizard World Chicago convention, and the Triad IV teaser poster that will be exclusive to the Ohio market.

Not only will we be offering these prints to purchase, but Daniel and Eric have been discussing options for various contests to win signed artwork and prints. Stay tuned for more information about these contests as the details are worked out!

And don't forget, if your in the Columbus, Ohio area this weekend, Eric and his lovely wife/assistant, Sara will be at the SPACE Con on Saturday and Sunday where we will be releasing "Raptor Sniper: One Shot" and a new/updated G2 website!!!

Raptor Sniper and the SPACE Con

Next week is another big week for G2 Studios as we get ready to release our next title - Raptor Sniper "One Shot" - the first attempt at a humorous title for the G2 team, and we are totally excited. The art is looking great, and the story is even funnier in graphic form than we had originally anticipated from the script. We hope our fans agree.

Daniel, while finishing up the final pages of the new release, will also be working hard to prep several prints for the Columbus and Dayton conventions, SPACE and Gem City. We'll have five exclusive prints to offer, including the Azrael/Triad 4 teaser poster (featured on the G2/Facebook account,) which we will be giving away with the purchase of a Triad 3-pack, as well as a first look at the Kross character from the upcoming title Kross and Vengeance, and a new Antic poster.

Finally, Daniel will also be finishing up the final updates on the Website, so all of our new fans in Ohio will have an exciting new look to experience when they visit our site for the first time! Stay tuned for updates this week and next!
