Dragon*con 2010!! Sept 3-6th!

It's that time again!

Time to head back to the mother of all conventions, Dragon*Con!! [Sept 3-6, Atlanta, GA.]


I will be a guest at said lovely event. I will be selling my wares in the Comics & Pop Art Alley.

I will have my usual prints [including the large over sized 11x17 prints], copies of the 1st issue of The God Machine, original drawings, the RETURN of the CRAZY CRAYON COMMISSIONS, free stickers and other assorted goodies. I will be taking commissions as well! -I also plan on having an exclusive Dragon*con print for the event as well! Hopefully other surprises if time permits!

Sadly, I wanted to have Dragon*con to be the debut of THE GOD MACHINE's Graphic Novel- but it wasn't possible. :( [Archaia is still in process of getting it out to the printers.]

NOW DON'T FORGET: I will be on 2 panels!!! [please come if you can! I need all the support I can get!]

THE GOD MACHINE HC FOR PREORDER~!

So much to say!

But first- hi guys! I've been recovering from the madness that was SDCC! Thanks to all who came out and said hello, and for all of you who got a chance to get the new posters Archaia printed and a copy of The God Machine issue 1.

A few highlights you can see and hear!

INTERVIEW: I talk about The God Machine graphic novel, Fraggles, and Fear of Ghosts [comic] with Cameron Hatheway of Cammy's Comic Corner. [Also in the beginning of the interview David Rodriguez & Patrick McEvoy talk about their book Starkweather] [*show note- I meant to say "JOSH" Finney and Kat Rocha]

also

Venture Brothers Tweetup Podcast: I was apart of this geekery- and how!

BUT! Now on to more pressing maters!

THE GOD MACHINE GRAPHIC NOVEL VOL. 1 !!!!!

It's serious time! Seriously!

Break out the Absinthe, dress in your spooky attire, for on Oct. 18-27th- It arrives! [Just in time for HALLOWEEN!]


But first you have to contact your local comic shop[s] (locate your local shop here) to order you a copy, or even order it from AMAZON.com!

This is the time to act! Go to you comic shop, ask them to order you THE GOD MACHINE HC [Previews page 225] The more orders, the better! It let's Diamond [distributor] know there's a need for the book, so they'll let it come back for a 2nd GN! It also let's Archaia know there's a demand! This is important! It shows that there's a want for THE GOD MACHINE volumes in the future!

Don't have a shop to go to? No problem! Amazon is providing you guys with a very good deal! $13.46 for 160pages of God Machine goodness! [don't mind the listing saying it's 144pages, it's in process of being corrected]

Other places to order from [if you want other options]:

Forbidden Planet £10.34 [huzzah, across the ponders rejoice!]

Things From Another World $15.96

Heavy Ink $15.96

The specs:

The God Machine; Graphic Novel, Vol. 1

~160 pages*. Full Color. Hardbound

Published by Archaia

list price: 24.95*

*All of the online places have the specs on my book wrong. But trust me when I say, I know it's 160 pages. I made it that way. (It's like telling a mother who just gave birth that she didn't have a baby.) Because it was advertised as 144 pages, that's what made the price lower originally. On the behalf of others, I'm sorry for any confusion.

So now we've got business out of the way, how bout was under that sexy hard cover?

A foreword by Doc Hammer (co-creator of The Venture Brothers), a new colored prologue that was only available as a limited run b&w ash-can, the lush beginning of The God Machine saga, Character bios, 13 pin-ups by fellow Archaia artists and other uberly talented artists!

What's it about?

“Things have become monotonous. Change will come and wash it all away…”

“Stricken with grief from the death of his girlfriend, Sith, Guy Salvatore struggles to make sense of his world. He’s plagued with hallucinations of monsters that torment him with outrageous requests. He’s unsure if these manifestations are real or are being invented by his own sickened mind.

Enter Satan: a strange old man who shares with Guy a story of two Gods who govern all of existence. According to Satan, the Gods allowed Sith to be removed from her world. Now she is floating aimlessly in and out of dimensional planes known as the “Dream Worlds.” Satan implores Guy to take action and call upon his latent power to break through his world’s plane, search out Sith, and take vengeance upon the vile Gods who caused this atrocity.

Satan’s story promises hope to Guy and raises the possibility of Sith still being alive. Yet, Guy’s doubts linger: Is Satan to be believed? Who are the Gods and why did they allow Sith to be taken? Who is to be trusted? And, ultimately, is Guy slowly going insane?

So, what’s a “Guy” to do?

Join Guy as he begins to unravel the truth, and learn what really happened to Sith – before it’s too late…”

Mature Readers
