Hitting The Shelves: Gobs #3

Hey there, my fellow art fans. It's once more time to give you all the lowdown on some upcoming work from one of our talented list of artistic masters. Onward and upward....

Getting released this week is Gobs #3 from Antarctic Press and our own Richard Moore. In the third chapter of this four issue mini-series, the gang's new pub--built in the petrified body of a dead giant--is now less a quaint drinking spot and more a reanimated killing machine rampaging through the countryside. Houses are smashed, elves are eaten...and the gobs finally decide they may have to leave their afternoon at the swimming hole and get involved. Expect hilarity and zaniness to ensue, just as you've come to expect from the mind of Richard Moore. And here's some words from others on what they think of it:

"Moore’s vision is unique and I really enjoy it." - Comic Book Newbie

This book is flying under a lot of folks radar, so make sure you pick up your copy at your local retailer this Wednesday. Just look for the cover image shown here. And if they don't have any in stock, tell them to order some.

Also, with the holiday season having officially started, why not get someone you love one of the most unique gifts you can: original art. It is one-of-a-kind, can be enjoyed all year round, and can be a special connection between people. So, stop on by our art gallery and place an order for some of Richard Moore's art (or any of our our other represented talents). As always, any art order over $150.00 get FREE SHIPPING worldwide. Make the season a bit more special and bright, by giving the gift of original art.

That's it for this one, gang. But I'll be back soon with more stuff for you, perhaps even our last art update for 2011 (you certainly wouldn't want to miss that). So, until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #3

Hey there, my faithful comic art fiends! Time to once again give you the lowdown on some upcoming work from our talented creators, that's due to hit the comic shops this week. So, let us get to it!

This week, we have the release of Batman and Robin #3, featuring the inking prowess of Mick Gray, as DC Comics continues the "steamroller" know as The New 52! In this installment, as Robin does all he can to keep his own killer instincts at bay, Batman focuses his energies on Nobody, the deadly enigma from Bruce’s past who has arrived in Gotham and is hellbent on forcing him to accept a new world crimefighting view, even as he infiltrates the Waynes’ personal lives. The drama and action continues!

While many of these New 52 books are getting some nice buzz, Batman and Robin is certainly one of the most praised. Just look below at what some of the critics are saying around the weberverse:

"...Batman and Robin #2 is a fantastic follow-up to a spectacular issue #1." - Erik Norris of IGN Comics

"Batman and Robin #2 is simply a comic with a lot of soul. We need more of this." - Devon Sanders of Chud.com

"Batman and Robin #2 was another great entry from the team of Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason." - Kevin of Comic Book Revolution

"There's always room for a comic like 'Batman and Robin'..." - Greg McElhatton of CBR

" Gray’s work gives definition to Gleason’s pencils... It’s breathtaking work." - Iann Robinson of Crave Online

" Worth a look." - Alan Rapp of RazorFine Review

As you can see, the good word on this book doesn't seem to be slowing down. So, make sure to pick up a copy of the latest issue at your LCS this Wednesday. Just look for the cover image shown here. But if you are the impatient type, or simply need more convincing, make sure to check out this six page preview of Batman and Robin #3. You'll be glad you did.

Also, I have an update on the scanner issue. We soon might have a new one, which will mean better quality images of future art updates (not to mention better scans of some of the recent ones we've had). It's not a sure bet just yet, but I'm hopeful that by the end of this month Sequential Treasures will be back to full operating capacity, as far as providing great images of our comic art for sale.

And speaking of that, sales have been... how to put this... extremely dry of late. I'm really at a loss to explain this, especially as we've been updating new art for sale fairly regularly again. With the holidays just around the bend, I'm hoping to see amajor change on this, so we can end our year on a high note. We've even lowered the prices on most of our current inventory. So, if you've been pinching your pennies, now is the time to strike. Stop by our art gallery and place an order. Remember, all art orders of $150.00 or more get FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the world! Can't ask for much better than that, can you?

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back soon with more news and maybe even an art update. Until then, peace out!

Last minute Holiday surprises!

Hey folks! Well, Christmas time is almost here. So, as your thoughts turn to merriment and all things filled with cheer, Sequential Treasures has a couple of things your should know, before your festivities get into full swing.

First off, Ben Hansen will be making his final appearance of the year this Saturday, at the Bellingham, WA comic shop call Docking Bay 93. He'll be on hand for the "Toy-apalooza" event, which is collecting gifts for TOYS4TOTS. For every toy you buy for the cause you save 25% and you will get a free sketch from Ben. He will also have his prints, Battle Amongst the Stars#3 and more on hand for sale. Ben will also be donating 50% of the profits from the sales on that stuff to the TOYS4TOTS, as well. So, if you'll be in the area this Saturday, make sure to stop by the shop and help out a very worthy cause (and maybe get a little artistic gift for yourself in the process).

Lastly, and this is a biggie, Sequential Treasures will be on hiatus starting Saturday and will not be up again for business until after the first of the year. Your old blogmaster is taking a couple weeks off to see some family and friends for the holidays. Besides which, I'm long overdue for a break and some R & R. I hope all of you will have a very safe and joyous holiday and hope you'll be as raring to go after the start of 2011 as I hope to be. Thanks for a great year, folks, but let us make next year even better!

That's all for now. I'll be talking with you all next year! Until then, peace out!

Sequential Treasures "12 Days of Pre-Christmas" Sale!

Hey there, comic art fans! Well, I told I'd be back today with some big news to help brighten your holiday spirits. And seeing as how your blogmaster has never lied to you before, there seems little reason to start now.

As to what the big news is, it's simply that, in honor of the holiday season, Sequential Treasures and most of her artistic roster has decided to give all of you an early Christmas gift. We're holding a sale of 20% off all current inventory from the artists noted below:

Mick Gray

Matt Haley

Ben Hansen

Randy Kintz

Richard Moore

All of them have graciously said they want to give you all a little something special to make your holiday a happy one. So, all of their current inventory will 20% starting tomorrow (December 3rd) and will remain so running through until December 14th. It's 12 days of savings for you all to enjoy. And your blogmaster is going to sweeten the deal by also extending the 20% discount on the art by Steve McNiven and ChrisCross that we have in stock, as well. If this doesn't help you to have a Merry Christmas, I don't know what will. I certainly can't think of a better way to end this awesome year, nor a better way to thank all of you for helping to make this one for us.

So, if you've been holding back on placing an order, waiting for your chance at a sale, now is the time to strike! Because this isn't just our last sale for the year, but the last one we will have for quite some time. So, don't delay in placing an order. Get over to our art gallery and get your order in before the sale is over!

So, did I not tell you this was going to be some really good news? Let's end the year on a high note for us all. And thank you to everyone who's helped make 2010 so great. We all appreciate your support. I look forward to more of it as we prepare to get set for next year. Hopefully, we'll reach even higher heights than we did this year. I hope you'll be along for the journey. Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Brightest Day #15

Hello, my faithful ones. Well, the holiday rush has officially begun in earnest and the year is quickly coming to a close. But before you get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, I wanted you to take note of some new comic work by one of Sequential Treasures own that is at all the finer comic shops.

This time, we have the latest issue to DC Comics big event tale, Brightest Day #15. Once again, our own Mick Gray graces the book for a few pages with his illustrious inks, over the pencils of the always awesome Patrick Gleason. He is, like before, working on the Martian Manhunter part of the story. The book is in shops right now! So, while you are out gift shopping for everyone else, get a little something for yourself and pick up a copy. And also make the holidays a bit brighter for Mick, too. The cover is shown above, so you know what to look for.

Also, here's a little something special for you all, from our resident Hollywood fiend Matt Haley. This is just a little something he produced and directed. If you are a fan of Superman, you probably should check this out. We can only hope the new Superman movie is half an entertaining as this. Just consider it an early Christmas gift from Matt to all of you.

That's all for now, but don't fret. I'm going to be back tomorrow with some big news. How big? Well, let me just say that if you aren't in the holiday spirit yet, this might just help get you there. So, until tomorrow, peace out!

Happy Thanksgiving from Sequential Treasures!

Hello, my friends. From all of us at Sequential Treasures, as well as our fine stable of talent, we want to wish all of you and your loved ones a very happy, safe, and filling Thanksgiving! Enjoy the day!

A "Thankful" update of new art for sale!

Hey there, my art loving friends! Things are just rolling along here at Sequential Treasures, as the holidays are quickly approaching. So, to help kick off the spirit, we've got a fresh new update of art from several of out stalwart talents.

Fist off, we have a cool new pin up piece from Ben Hansen, featuring the Savage Dragon. Then, we have a couple of unpublished pages from Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash 2 from Jason Craig. And finally, we have a batch of new stuff from inker Mick Gray, which featrues the pencils of folks like Barry Kitson, Ryan Sook, Lee Bermejo and others, on titles like Hawkman (one of those pages is shown here), Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, Legion of Super-Heroes and more! So, as you can tell there's a lot to see. So, stop by the art gallery and check it all out. Then, place your order. This is likely to be one of the (if not THE) last art updates from up for the year, so you'd do well to get your orders in promptly.

Well, that's it for now, gang. But there's more stuff coming down the pike, as we intend to end 2010 of a very nice note. So, stay tuned here for the latest. Until then, peace out!

Wishing you the best for the Holidays!

Hello again, everyone! As we go racing towards the end of 2009, we all tend to reflect on what the year has brought us and where we'd like to begin the new year. Of course, with Christmas only a week away, many of us are turning our thoughts to out loved ones and those closest to us.

It's no different for your blogmaster here at Sequential Treasures, in that regard. It has been quite a year with some great highs and even greater lows. As such, I could really use a bit of a break. So, starting now and run through the first of next year, all sales activity will be suspended, so I might partake in the fun of the holidays and spend so time with my own loved ones. This month has been completely flatlined, as far as sales go (which is a bit surprising and a little disappointing, I might add), so I figured that it would be a good time to take a break and get some time to recharge for the start of next year, which I'm hoping will be even better than this one is. I already have some things going on that I can't yet announce, but rest assured that it will all make the kick off of 2010 a good one.

So, I want to take this moment to thank all of you who've supported us through this year (by way of financial means or any other) and wish all of you a joyous holiday. I also want to thank our artists for their tireless effort and gracing us with their immense talent. I'll see you all next year! Until then, peace and goodwill to all of you!

Sincerely,

James Meeley
