Some Crozonia #4 pages

Here are some pages from the upcoming Issue 4!

A new year, new beginnings.

I spent a lovely week in Cancun during the holiday break. Here's a panorama picture I stitched up.
There will be many new changes happening this new year, including big developments for Crozonia!

A Logo design.

Haven't designed a logo in a while. This was fun: A martial arts gym for a friend located in Vancouver.

Poster Exclusives

The ReBot Gigabyte posters came in on Tuesday, and the first batch of orders were shipped on Wednesday! The poster turned out great! The paper stock was upgraded to 10pt cardstock which is about as thick as bristol board!

DMF Comics and I are creating a new business venture called PosterExclusives.com
We will be bringing `under the radar' licensed properties to the poster market. We are confident we can replicate the success of ReBoot posters.

ReBoot Gigabyte Poster delayed.

The bad news first:
I went to the printer last night to pick up the posters. They were printed on the wrong printer stock. We wanted the posters printed on cardstock. It was printed on 80lb paper instead. So the entire run has to be printed again. Our motto is Premium or go home.
The good news:
The print quality was amazing! ReBoot fans will LOVE this product! The metallic ReBoot logo is beautifull. Gigabyte looks really imposing at this blown up scale. Those who have ordered will have to wait a week longer to get their posters but trust me, the wait is well worth it.

Gigabyte Poster now on SALE!

The Gigabyte Poster is now on sale at DMF Comics. Get it before christmas if you order NOW. It is limited to 500 and only $15. Bundle and save if you order both posters that I drew.

ReBoot Gigabyte Poster Preview

Here is what the poster will look like.It features Rainmaker Entertainment's logo for the first time. The logos are printed in silver metallic ink!

New ReBoot Poster coming soon!

Just got a new license for a new poster. Still in the designing process so I will post a preview as soon as possible! And since it's already November, we will take pre-orders soon to try to get these posters to the fans before Christmas.

Fan Expo, The day after...

I had a great time at Fan Expo Canada, and so did my guest, Gavin Blair.
Sales wise, The Art of ReBoot did extremely well. We sold out of the artbook at the convention. Crozonia however, did not sell as well. Only about 150 book sold compared to over 250 at Fan Expo in 2006. There's a couple of factors attributed to that: being completely overshadowed by ReBoot, and the display we had did not put Crozonia at the forefront. I will be renewing my efforts to promote Crozonia, which I admit have been neglected due to the ReBoot project.

Crozonia Issue 3 did outsell Issue 1 and 2 which is promising. That means there are many return buyers who didn't mind the one year wait!

A little secret....

For the few that visit my blog:
I am publishing a ReBoot : Plug - In Ashcan edition. What is this? It's 40 pages of extra ReBoot artwork from Brendan McCarthy, Studio B, Scott Lee and Dean Ormstrom. It's a shame these didn't end up in the Hardcover book. But while I still have the artbook license, I thought I would publish this severely limited run. It will debut at Fan Expo Canada as an extra surprise for all the loyal ReBoot fans in Toronto.

Crozonia Issue 3 debuts August 24 at Fan Expo Canada

Haven't been blogging in a while. Since the last post, I exhibited at Comic-Con International in San Diego where I exhibited Crozonia for the first time. What an experience! Got to meet movie and television producers. Hopefully I can keep these contacts close when I exhibit next year and wrap up the series with Crozonia #4. Who knows what could happen?!!
You will have your first chance to pick up Issue 3 at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto (August 24-26), followed by The Word on The Street in Toronto. We are also bringing Gavin Blair (ReBoot Co-creator) to sign the ReBoot artbooks.

Crozonia Update

Gary Cohen (Editor), John Montenegro (Colourist), Dan Rivera (Colourist), and I are hard at work on finishing the third issue. It's going to be a scorcher of a comic book. I will post the 2 covers soon. Unfortunately, I will not be attending Wizard World Chicago. So to the Crozonia fans from the mid-west, I extremely apologize. Issue 3 will be available to order online at DMF Comics.

I will be attending San Diego Comicon International and be a part of the Arcana booth. Crozonia hasn't been exhibited in the West Coast. Issue 3 will premiere at Fan Expo Canada.

Regards,
Jim
