Sneak Peek and Exciting #Comicbook News About Horsemen

Work on issue two of Horsemen is underway! In our travels to cons, we are always talking to new folks and looking for talent for many of our upcoming projects. Artists if you are looking for work, come see us with your portfolio at NYCC on Friday (3-5) and Sunday (2-4). Recently at Boston Comic Con we came across a very talented young man who stopped by to share his portfolio with us. We really liked his work and thought he would be a great fit for Horsemen. Meet James Beihl, who will be penciling/inking Horsemen and taking that series to the next level! James is a graduate of the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, one of the country's finest institutions for art and design. His influences include McFarlane, Frazetta and Kubert. You can see some of his work on his deviantart page where he has pages from his upcoming creator owned series and other work that he has done. You can also follow him on twitter @jbcomics.

Here's a sneak peek at some of his upcoming work:

Welcome aboard James! We are look forward to seeing some more of your great work on Horsemen issue #2!

Advanced look at Signed's cover #comicbooks

Yup, that image was of me being attack by a Tusken Raider, but now to the business at hand. Well, Signed is off to the printers and will be making it's way out into the world soon. We will have the first issue available through our online store and hopefully at a few comic shops. If you are going to NYCC in October, you can swing by our booth in the small press section on the show floor and have a look. As Mark says, "We don't charge for fingerprints."

Without further interruption, here is the cover to our new series with a story arc involving the character C. She's a sorceress and a talent agent.

And a bonus look at the yet to be completed cover for Issue 2, which will be off to the printer in a couple weeks.

BTW, we have bonus art in the book like a sexy pinup, but for that you will just have to pick up a copy and look inside.

Feel free to purchase copies of Horsemen and The Ascendant through the online store or through the retail links and bring them to NYCC to be signed while you come to pick up Signed.

Cool Video of the Creators at Boston Comic Con 2013

Just got this today and wanted to post it for everyone to see. Really cool video with a lot of the creators who came to Boston Comic Con with us this year. I noticed Mike Mignola, some of the folks from Station like Chris Uminga and Matt Fletcher, and lots of other creators from the majors and indy presses. We are right around the 27:30 mark! Some great cosplay shots as well. If you watch to the end you will be treated to an array of impressive masks on display. Enjoy! -Mark

Boston Comic Con 2013

ComiCONN fun. @comiconn #comicbooks

Greetings, We at Wayward Raven Media had a brilliant time at the ComiCONN in Trumbull, CT on August 24th. The staff and volunteers were superb. The accommodations simply put many other similar sized cons to shame. The crowd was larger than expected but replete with enthusiasm and curiosity, which added to our experience exponentially. It didn't hurt that we were local either.

The cosplay was quite good but I am sorry that we didn't capture all of the magnificent specimens in digital form but we had to work selling our comic books The Ascendant #1-2 and Horsemen #1 along with prints from Damn Heroes as well as our prose Ominous Odes and The Cell. As for sales, it was splendid. Really quite a good day and the people who bought our titles were thoughtful and excited to get new material into their hands. I am sure that was positively influenced by the setting where very successful people in the comic book industry like Ron Marz, Mark Bagley, JM DeMatteis, and Jim Salicrup mingled with us just starting outs. Hey even Larry Kenney, Lion-O from the 1985 Thundercats, was there and he was actually just a couple tables over from us.

Basically, it rocked and we will exhibit again if they will have us next year. Now, for what you really want besides my gushing praise, photos.

This dude was awesome. He even had a sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who and a Star Trek communicator just to put the strict adherence folks into a hyper-drive  feedback loop.

It was a good Thing.

Ms. Rabbit and Ms. Ivy.

He really wasn't motivated.

But R2 was.

Me getting maced.

The Wayward Raven table before the onslaught. Yes, that's me hiding behind the large piece of original artwork on the corner.

Cluck loves you.

Bane and Batman exchange business cards. Robin looks on.

Young and old alike.

It was a fun con and if you get the chance to go next year, do.

Cheers!!
