Elemental Fources Review in CBG #1651

I have been rushing home each day during the last week to check the mail. When was the new issue of Comics Buyer's Guide going to arrive??? Finally, today, it was there! The review by Kurt Anthony Krug that I have been anticipating for many months has seen print. Getting Elemental Fources reviewed in a national publication is an excellent promotional tool, and I am very anxious to get some results. Check out page 53 of CBG #1651 (on sale 1/21/09) for the excellent review.

Mr. Krug is a local writer who also crafted the great article about New Baby Productions that appeared in the Oakland Press newspaper back in September. Click here to read that article.

I highly encourage everyone to point out the CBG review to your local comic shop and ask them to order copies.

Retailers, I would like to remind you that Elemental Fources is available from Haven Distributors and can be found in the Enemi Entertainment Independent Publishers Catalog. And if you are not comfortable ordering from them (why?!?), contact me to discuss bulk pricing, promotional material, store appearances, etc.

Web Site Tweaks

I played around with the web site a little last night, updating, combining, and adding content while removing some items that were acting too much like a placeholder.

Who's Who pages have been added that showcase our creators and the characters of Elemental Fources for potential readers.  I am hoping to expand this information in the future.

In addition, I've created a page linked off of the Bookstore page that lists retailers carrying Elemental Fources.  The list is small at the moment, but should start growing.  Retailers, contact me to get your store listed.

Also added were two new cons that New Baby Productions will be attending this year:  S.P.A.C.E. in Columbus in April and Wizard World Chicago in August.  I am really looking forward to both shows.  S.P.A.C.E. is a show that everyone has nice things to say about.  As a fan, I attended Wizard World Chicago two years ago and had a blast.  We are looking to add at least a couple more cons to our calendar for the year.  I really wish I would have thought about NYCC sooner.

The Comics Buyer's Guide review should show up any day now!

Enemi May 2009 Catalog Cover

I just found out yesterday that some Elemental Fources characters will appear on the May 2009 edition of the Enemi Entertainment Independent Publishers Distribution Catalog. The cover will be drawn by Chris Herbert, who creates the comic book series Lazerman with his brother Alan through their company, HBComics. I have had some correspondense with Chris, and he is a great guy who works very hard at promoting Lazerman. Him and Alan are a great asset to the indie publishing scene, and I look forward to possibly working with them in the future.

Be sure to check out their comic. It sounds like a lot of fun and I plan on getting copies ASAP. In Chris' own words:

The series is about a comic book geek, who in a bizarre twist of fate, actually ends up getting superpowers himself. Naturally he does what ANY comic geek would do…he decides to become a superhero just like in his comics. Unfortunately for him, in real world things don’t quite work like they do in the comics.

I have posted some cover images below.

	Just to quickly add to the post from Eric Mullarkey (aka buxfan) above, you'll find a review of Elemental Fources in CBG #1651 on sale in early January.

Although he spelled my name wrong, I am super excited.  Being reviewed in a national magazine like Comics Buyer's Guide should really help sales.
