(no we didn’t make Jason sit on the outside…)
Hey guys, I hope you all had a great Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, we did. Just a little reminder that it’s Wednesday, that means another page of Shaman is up… in fact it’s the final page of the Ripper story, I hope you all enjoyed it… check it out at: www.celticshaman.ca
As for FCBD, well it started off well as it was nice a warm but soon the weather turned on us and the rain started to come down… Luckily we were prepared for such an emergency (well Daniel had prepared for such an emergency) and the day was saved by a big beige tent.
I’m not sure what books were popular in your neck of the woods, but I was told that the Sonic book did very well… It seemed strange to me, but I guess it could explain why he was one of the most requested characters for sketches.
And Speaking of sketches, thanks go to Daniel, Jason and Adam, they all worked very hard and pretty much non stop from 9-5 (what a way to make a living) they really did us proud and I think everyone was happy with the wonderful art they produced.
One of my favourite moments from the day was when we got to present Todd, the owner of Image Collections, with a poster that Daniel drew to commemorate the store’s 20th anniversary. Throughout the day we had as many visitors sign the poster as we could. Todd has done so much for us over the past couple of years so it was nice to be able to do something for him and I think he was genuinely surprised.
Otherwise it was just great to be out, meeting new people and reconnecting with some old friends. How can you not love Free Comic Book Day? Thanks again to everyone at Image for having us, it was a blast. Check out our photos from the event by visiting our Facebook page located right here. Now on to the web comics…
SLAM– A webcomic that takes place in a world where professional wrestling matches are real… wait, you mean that professional wrestling matches in our world are fake??? Damn you for ruining my innocence interwebs!!! But anyways… if you like wrestling and you like comics then you should check this out. You should check this out even if you don’t like wrestling cause it’s fun and the art is great. What more could you want?
Orion the Hunter – Set 230 years in the future, Orion is one of the coolest webcomics out there… Seriously… It’s a wicked space western about a half-breed alien lawman who returns to his home planet after it’s been involved in a transplanetary war. If you aren’t hooked after hearing just that, well then it’s like I don’t even know you anymore….
Well that’s it for this week. Make sure you check back next Wednesday… That is the start of the all new full-length exclusive Celtic Shaman #1… We are pretty exited for it and I hope you will be too. As always if you want to get in touch, just drop me a line. Have a great day and we’ll see you on Friday for the links…
