Origin Cards for Baltimore Comic-Con

Hello everyone!

We just finished the promo cards for the Eve: Origin special that we'll be handing out at Baltimore Comic-Con. (9/27 & 9/28 ) We may also do some posters of this one as well! Ash's art is as usual - unbelievably epic!

I'll be with our friends at Koni Waves in Artist Alley and have all 4 issues of the first Eve mini-series available. (Ash probably won't make Saturday, but may be there on Sunday)

I hope these images get you psyched for the upcoming Origin special. It's a darker story than the original mini, but its still got the same spunky vampire diva!

Wizard World Philly

We had a blast last month meeting a lot of Eve fans at the New York Comic Con! Can't wait till next year! We also sold a bunch of Eve sets to new readers which is always a thrill!

Ash and I will be at Wizard World Philly, May 30 - June 1st in artist alley (Table 1709). We'll also be right next to our friends at Koni Waves (table 1711).

I'll be there all three days and Ash will be there Saturday and Sunday. Also at the table will be our significant others, Patti and Katie-Lynne. Come by and say hello!

We'll have all 4 issues of Eve and some of the NYCC pin-ups books as well as some posters.

Ash also finished up a great original pin-up book for WW Philly which includes 7 pin-ups from other artists.

Here's one of Ash's:

And here's a sneak peek at the snazzy 3 foot by 6 foot banner for the table:



Hope to see you in Philly!

New Eve reviews

Matt Grant at Projectfanboy.com reviewed the first 3 issues of Eve: Vampire Diva.

He had this to say:
"Eve brings it all home in a solid good read."
and
"The art is as lively as ever and, dang, this is just a really good, fun book. Even if you're sick of the vampire genre, you will probably still enjoy this book."

Thanks Matt for giving our fanged diva a chance!

Eve #4 - Preview (out 4/2)

Hey guys,

Our blood-lusting diva is wrapping up her first mini-series and nothing less than the fate of the world is at stake.

A werewolf apocalypse is on the horizon and let's just say that Eve's vampire side is about to cut loose in this one!

Michael and Sylvania's master plan is close to fruition and one thing's for sure . . . not everyone is going to make it out alive!

An interview with the Vampire (artist), Ash Jackson

Eve faces divas, witches, vamps and werewolves in her first mini-series, but none of it would be possible without the dynamic artistry of Ash jackson!

Since Eve's debut, Ash's energetic and vibrant style has captured the eyes of many fans and critics alike.

After reviewing all 4 issues of Eve's first outing for Paperbackreader.com, Moya Dawson conducted an interview with the man behind the images, Ash Jackson.

Eve #4 reviewed at Paperbackreader.com

Moya Dawson of Paperbackreader.com reviewed our final issue and we got an "A"!

Here are some quotes:

"I'm saddened that this series has come
to an end, but it was an amazing end.
The writer and artist pulled out all
the stops for this last issue, and it's
not hard to see that they have a lot of
enthusiasm for this particular
character"

"this is a surprising gem of a book"

and

"This is definitely one of the best
independent titles I've read so far
this year. Give this series a chance,
you won't regret it."

Eve wants YOU!

Okay, don't get the wrong idea. She wants your pin-ups! 

We're planning a New York Comic-Con exclusive "making of" book and we'll have space for fan art. So if you fancy yourself an artist and want to please our vampire diva - send us your best color pin-up of our fanged warrior or her cast of troublemakers!

Full credit will be given and the book will be sold at the Arcana booth. Who knows where your pin-up can lead you!
