Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #1

Hey there, faithful one! Well, things are really picking up around the old Sequential Treasures H.Q., which is just how we like it. There's lots of news to let you all in on, so let's get right to it.

First off, we have some new work hitting comic shops this week. DC Comics big relaunch has taken the comic world by storm and our own Mick Gray is a part of the proceedings. Due out on Wednesday, is the Batman and Robin #1 relaunch (which features Mick's inks over the pencils of Patrick Gleason). Bruce Wayne is now teamed up with his son, Damien, but what will be harder for this new dynamic duo: the villains they face, or trying to work together? The only way to find out is to pick up a copy. But do so fast, as this book is one of several that has had a sellout at the distribution level and later printings, while forthcoming, will be tough to come by. Just look for the cover shown here, when you pick up your weekly stash.

But that isn't all, as Mick is going to be doing some local shop signings to further promote this debut launch. On the 15th, you can see Mick at Illusive Comics and Games in Santa Clara, CA. He'll be there from 5pm to 8pm, autographing copies of the book, as well as doing some sketching and talking comics with those who attend. Then, on the 17th, he'll be doing the same at Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA from 12pm to 3pm. So, if you'll be in the area of these shops during these times, make sure to drop by.

Shifting from comic in shops, to comics on the web, we have Randy Kintz's work on Columbia's Underbelly for Darkbrain Comics. Columbia’s Underbelly is a 116 page story that will be told in 5 chapters – first one starting this week – and then with bi-monthly issues to its completion. So, make sure to join up at Darkbrain's website (linked here) and check out what craziness Randy will be bringing to you. You can see a sample page of it right here.

Lastly, if you haven't joined our Facebook page you are missing out on some fun stuff. Of late, I've been putting up "sneak peek" art from upcoming works by our array of talent. A few weeks ago, I gave you glimpses into Batman and Robin #1. This week, I've been putting up some teasers to Ben Hansen's upcoming one-shot from Moonstone Comics called Air Vixens. So, make sure to "like" us and you'll be able to check out some interesting tidbits on yet to be released works from our roster of artists.

Well, that about does it for now. But there's more to come very soon. I have some new art expected in from some of our artists (including some Richard Moore work I've been asked about more times than I care to remember), plus some convention appearances within the next couple weeks. So, don't expect things to quiet down here for some time. Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Web: God Play featuring Randy Kintz

In what has been probably the biggest news week Sequential Treasures has had in... oh, I don't know... EVER, I'm back again today with more tidbits for you. This time, it's about a place to see some new webcomic work from our own Randy "Rantz" Kintz.

As I noted a couple weeks ago, Randy is doing some work for the webcomic site called DarkBrain.com right now. Today marked the release of the first couple of pages to a multi-page feature Randy has provided the art for. The story is called "God Play" and is a bit of a departure for Randy on a couple of fronts. First, is the incredible tech and architecture involved in the story. Second , is the mature themes that this story will have (in short, this isn't meant for kids and is NSFW). Just follow the link and check out the first couple pages. The rest will be released over the next coming weeks. And we hope to have Randy's original art from this available shortly after that.

But if you can't wait for that, you can always pick up some of Randy's originals that we currently have, as well as stuff from our other talents, many of whom are currently involved in our massive summer sale (of which, Randy is one). Just head over to our art gallery and check out what's available. There's still a lot of good stuff to be had, so place those orders!

That's about all for now! Will next week be as information and excitement filled as this one has been? I don't know, but you can always be sure to tune in here and find out. Until then, peace out!

Hitting The Web: Randy Kintz at DarkBrain.com

Hey there, my artistic minded fiends! Time to give you the lowdown on some newly published work by one of Sequential Treasures own bevy of talented talents. Unlike the usual, though, this isn't something you can pick up at the local comic shop. No, this time it a new webcomic by our own Randy "Rantz" Kintz.

If you go over to the Dark Brain Comics website, you'll find this fun little piece call "Less Is More" which feature the art of Randy Kintz. But this isn't just a typical webcomic, as there are voice actors speaking the dialogue and much more. I do want to warn you, though, that some of the material found on the site is not meant for kids. So, be advised if you venture there.

That's all for now. I'm still working on those big behind-the-scenes events that are coming soon. I hope to have news on some of them next time. Until then, peace out!
