Issue #4, 5, & 6 (and Con Exclusives)

I just sent issues 4, 5, and 6, of Elemental Fources to the printer. See the cover images below, and watch for issues to be added to the EF Bookstore very soon.


I was also able to work out the ability to create variant covers, so I will be offering exclusive versions for each of the large cons that I will be attending this year. I'll post those cover images as we get closer to each con. Rest assured, they look very cool.

Speaking of big cons, I have added Wizard World Philly to our list. So New Baby Productions will be exhibiting at both Wizard World conventions this year. And for those that don't know, Wizard's Chicago show has been renamed the Chicago Comic-Con.

Various News

I just wanted to provide some updates on some things going on with Elemental Fources.

Our letterer, Jaymes Reed, recently interviewed me for ComicNews.info. Check out the great interview at http://comicnews.info/?p=4027.

Chris Herbert sent me a preview of the May 2009 Enemi Entertainment Independent Publishers Catalog. Wilhelm, Normandy, Aden, and Finola appear right alongside various other chracters from comics distributed by Enemi, including Chris' Lazerman (HBComics), Witch Hunter (Monarch Comics), Vengeance (Enemi), and more! I really can't wait to see this in print.

Finally, I have found a printer for issues #4-6 of EF and will be sending everything to them in the next couple of days. So those issues will be available very soon! They are doing the covers via digital printing, which will allow for variant covers. I have already planned some exclusive "inverse" covers to be made available at some of the bigger cons we will be attending this year. I woll keep you posted.

Free Copies of EF for Retailers

From my post at the Comic Book Industry Alliance forums:

As part of our ongoing marketing efforts to get Elemental Fources in front of retailers and comic book readers, I am offering up the first three issues of the series for free. The first 50 comic book retailers that email me their store information will receive complimentary copies. With the recent Diamond announcement concerning publisher minimums, it is a great time to jump on the small press bandwagon!

Elemental Fources is distributed by Haven Distributers and can be ordered from the Enemi Entertainment Independent Publishers Catalog. The series was recently reviewed in Comics Buyer's Guide (#1651). National advertising and multiple convention appearances are in the plan for 2009, so this is the perfect time to see what the series is all about.
