It would be terrific if you visited us at Terrificon!

It would also be tremendous, stupendous, and even prodigious! So seriously, come hang out with us at TerrifiCon Mohegan Sun. You don’t have to drop a bundle at the tables, instead, pick one up at ours!

Yeah, so? Whaddya got?

Great question! We will have our brand new anthology, We Suck at Comics, Volume One, available. In fact, we should still have some stickers and pins left from the campaign. You’ll have to get one quickly though, we don’t know how long the supplies will last!

We promise, only the title sucks. Everything else is awesome!

Well, maaaaaaybe I’ll stop by…

Cool, we would love to see you! If you do drop in to see us at Terrificon, you can find us at Booth E10 in Artist Alley at Mohegan Sun. Not sure exactly where that is? Then take a look at the map!

We seem to be surrounded by arrows…

Anything else I should know?

Just that we will be accepting submissions for We Suck At Comics, Volume Two. We had such a great response, that we can’t wait to do it again. Wanna know more? Then check out our blog post for more info.

Thanks, hope we see you at TerrifiCon!

Submissions for We Suck At Comics: Volume 2 are now open!

Did you miss out on getting your work into We Suck At Comics: Volume 1? Well, no worries! Now you can submit your stuff for Volume Two!

Yay!!!!

Sweet! How does it work?

Simple. We are looking for completed stories that fit the theme Coloring Outside The Lines. We are accepting only finished works, but they can be comics, prose, or artwork.

As far as the theme itself, we are going to give you a fair amount of latitude here. Messy pages and broken panels are not a prerequisite (but don’t let that stop you either). In fact, we are looking to see how imaginative you can be with the theme! The most important thing is submitting quality materials.

This will be a paid gig!

Sweeeeeeeet, tell me more!

So what do I do if I want to send my work in?

That’s easy too! Just head on over to our submissions page and fill out all the fields. Once we have your submission, we will get back to you promptly.

What kinds of materials can I send?

Another great question! We are looking for comics, prose (you know, comics without pictures - lol), and artwork. You can send us:

  • Comics up to 25 pages

  • Prose up to 2500 words

  • Up to five pieces of single page/image artwork

Sounds pretty simple…

We try our best to make things easy. If you would like more info, just click the below and read all about it. We can’t wait to see what you send us!

What has been happening with Wayward Raven Media in October?

October has been an adventure!

Wow, October has been a busy month for these rogue birds!

We had a very successful New York Comic Con (NYCC) where we launched Lux Prismatica, got to catch up with a ton of old friends and welcomed a new place on the show floor!

Our schedule even tires our friends out! Don’t worry Jeff, we wouldn’t dare take funny pictures of you if you fall asleep at our booth…

What else is new this October?

And then we went ahead and launched a Kickstarter campaign two weeks later! Clearly, we either love this stuff or are gluttons for punishment (hint: it is the first one).

As of writing, We Suck at Comics is:

  • 80% funded

  • Was selected as a Project We Love by the Kickstarter Staff

  • Has over 100 backers

It has been such a successful October that we hated to see it leave! But depart it must. Fear not though, kind supporters for November holds much promise.

 

What about November?

Next month we will be at Rhode Island Comic Con from 11/4 -11/6. We have a spot on the convention show floor, booth 220. But what are we bringing with us to RICC? We’re glad you asked!

For starters, since our Kickstarter will still be going on until the 17th of the month, we will be offering on-the-spot rewards! Anyone who pledges at our booth will receive immediate gratification in the form of either comics or artwork!

If you’ve ever met us at a convention, you know that Mark always brings his super secret homebrews. This year he has something completely new - homemade hot sauce! 

Goes great with everything! Chicken, pork, cereal…whatever, don’t judge us.

Mark made several varieties that he will give away for free with purchase.

They include:

  • Bourbon, brown sugar habanero 

  • Raspberry habanero

  • Pineapple halepeno/fresno/pablano

  • Halepeno/pablano

 

One more thing…

And finally, we have added some new rewards to our ongoing KS campaign. We are humbled that so many of the limited Wayward Raven packages have been snatched up (currently only 8 left!) that we decided to add three new reward tiers. They include The Ascendant and Damn Heroes books. 

Let’s smash that Kickstarter goal!

Since we are so close to hitting goal, we will be announcing our stretch goals soon. Keep an eye out for more updates!

Thank you all so much for making this an amazing October! We truly appreciate you all and your contribution to making us successful!
