Gone Wassailing

Or more correctly, in search of the perfect pint (Sigh. Just going to have to keep tasting them until we find it - don't worry about us, we'll be fine and are more than happy to take one for the team. Singing to follow. You're welcome). 215

We'll keep this short. May you all have a wonderful holiday and a happy and safe new year! We hope you enjoy plenty of time with friends and family. May 2014 bring you nothing but joy and prosperity!

Ars longa, viate brevis.

Cheers!

Cheers! Cheap entertainment: zombies, Santa and superheroes

Well this time of year can glaze the eyes and deafen the ears with all the sights and sounds of shopping as well as give you an ache in the pit of your stomach when seeing the prices for entertainment products. That's why we are providing a bit of online relief with free and cheap avenues of distraction.

First, the webcomic Damn Heroes is always free and has a nice amount of strips in the archive so you can spend an hour just clicking through and having a jolly old Santa like chuckle. If you wish, you can always buy Damn Heroes merchandise but your laughter is the greatest reward. www.damnheroes.com

Second, we have a Free section here on the site. Just look above. Or click here. There is a free coming-of-age ebook novel called The Excess Road and a short story. Not comic book related but entertaining nonetheless.

Third, our comic books The Ascendant, Horsemen and Signed are all $3.99 in our Shop page and we will even put the author's autograph on it if you want, no charge. Just click through the comics section, and if you like any book, you can order a print copy by clicking the on the Shop page tab but if you want a digital copy just click the links below the comic book descriptions

Last, if you are in the mood for a twisted guffaw, a satirical short story involving Santa and zombies by Joshua is on Amazon titled Santa's a Zombie?

There are elves with guns, a zombie plague, and a race to save Christmas. Only $0.99 for Kindle. If you don't have a Kindle, you can download an app from Amazon that allows you to read their ebooks on other devices.

May the holidays be filled with family, fun and feasting as well as wine and beer too if you're old enough.

Cheers!!

Ars longa, viate brevis.

 

Sneak Peek Tuesday - Upcoming Signed Artwork

In keeping with what seems to be a tradition here these last few weeks, we wanted to show off some artwork from one of our upcoming books. In this case we have two of the upcoming covers for the new Signed books. Signed C: the missing, issue 2, is presently being lettered and will be ready for everyone to get their hands on very soon. And issue 3 has just finished being inked and is ready for colors. Of course if you haven't picked up issue 1 yet, there is still plenty of time to do so before the holiday. A signed copy of Signed and a t-shirt to go with it would make a great gift too! Check out our store for those items and more Wayward Raven books and shirts (sorry for the shameless pitch, our accountants are standing over us with their calculators and long rulers. Hey, ouch! Quit that!).

Anyway, let's get down to the artwork. Wayne's outdone himself with these, hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

The Ascendant Issue 3 Sneak Peek and Announcement

Work on issue three of The Ascendant has begun! Yes, the Duke of Hell is gearing up to make his third appearance with Wayward Raven. As usual, we just can't contain ourselves and must show off some of the new artwork. Before we give you a quick peek, we have an important announcement to make. The next issue of The Ascendant has a brand new artist! With much fanfare, please join us in welcoming Eric Herr as the new artist (pencils and inks) on The Ascendant. Eric is a NYC based artist who we met at the 2013 New York Comic Con. His art immediately impressed us and we are incredibly excited to turn the Ascendant's creative reins over to him. As you can see below, he has already begun composing some mind-blowing panels. If you would like to see more of Eric's art or find out more about him, check out his Deviantart page here.

As I'm sure many of you appreciate, we like to keep things short and sweet here at Wayward Raven. So without further ado, here's a little taste of what you have coming up in issue three. Enjoy!
