It gives some history on how Eve came to be published and what's in store for our fanged diva!

Also - a big thanks to all the fans who came out to see us at NYCC 09. It was a blast and our immortal diva even took time out of her busy schedule to stop by the Arcana booth!

NYCC 2009 Update!

NYCC is less than a week away and we'll have two books available for the show!

The first is "Tales of Eve: Vampire Diva" which is a collection of 3 short stories, brought to you by three different artists: Ash Jackson, Andrew Richardson and Diego Chaves. It also has another masterpiece cover by Ash Jackson!

The second  is the 2009 Eve pin-up book.
These are brand news pin-ups of our immortal diva by over 15 different artists.
It also sports a stunning cover by Franchesco!

And there's also an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming Arcana one shot special being released later this year: "Eve: Vampire Diva - Origin" That's right - see how it all began for the undead pop star!

The two pin-ups here are just a glimpse at some of the beautiful pieces of art in this special edition.

The first is by Koni Waves artist, Steve Sistilli (www.koniwaves.com).

This second pin-up is by Portrait and Comics/Fantasy illustrator, Jay Fife (www.jayfife.com).

Ash and I will be at the Arcana booth (1803) all throughout the con. Our official signing times are the following:

Friday

4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Saturday

10 am- 12 pm
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Rumor also has it that Eve and her friend, Koni, might be taking time out of their supernaturally packed schedules to stop by the table for pictures.

Don't miss it!

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!

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."
