Red Moon

     Hey everyone, Steve here with our Comic Con 2010 report!

     We had an great time at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. This was by far our most successful show to date and we want to thank everyone for stopping by, saying hello and picking up a copy of Red Moon!

     Where to start? The show is so big! Just setting up the table is quite a task! All the walking involved and add the fact that this year we’re selling a big 200 page book (and not a 28 page comic book like last year) and well…it’s a workout. But we set up our table and were excited to see what was in store for the weekend.

     Every morning we would post a phrase on our twitter and on our facebook and the first person to come up to our table and say the phrase won a Red Moon soda! Congratulations to J.J. and eyekilly0U for being quick on their feet and snatching up the prizes!

     And that’s not the only people who stopped by our table. Tate, the owner of Tate’s Comics stopped by. His store won best comic shop in the world at last year’s Eisner Awards! Check out their website. btw-You can purchase Red Moon at their store right now!

     Next up, Stan Lee stopped by our table!!! Look!

     Ok that’s not really Stan Lee but check out this guy’s website at FakeStanLee.com. The guy is really, really good and hysterical! You must see his videos of him in action at the con.

     We also had some friends stop by as well. Thanks to Cindy and Connie for sporting Red Moon shirts at the con! Shirts and books now on sale at our online store.

     This is just a small sampling of all the people that came by. We sold a ton of books and Dave did plenty of commissions as well! Here’s a few examples of the pieces he did at the con.

     Even though we were exhibiting all weekend, we HAD to go out and look at stuff out on the convention floor. It’s Comic Con! Here’s us goofing off around the convention.

     We had a great time, met lots of cool people and had a successful show. We couldn’t ask for a better time. Thanks again to everyone we met at there. We will be back for San Diego Comic Con 2011!

     Hey everyone, just a quick heads up on where you can find us at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con July 21st-26th, 2010.

     We’ll be exhibiting in the Small Press Pavilion, Table L05 under the company name “Cossack Comics” which is the publisher of Red Moon. Here’s a layout of half of the convention floor with the Small Press area highlighted…

     And here’s a closer view of the Small Press area with our table highlighted…

     Please stop by and say hello! We’ll be selling the graphic novel, the prequel, t-shirts and Dave will be happy to do an original commission piece for you as well!

Hope to see some of you at the con!

     Hello everyone! Steve here with our Comic-Con 2009 wrap up. As you probably know, this past weekend was Comic-Con and we had an amazing experience exhibiting there for our first time. Comic-Con is HUGE! Here’s just one section of the convention floor. Try and find our table hidden in the madness.

     Here’s our table set up for the show. Dave on the right in the Red Moon shirt, myself on the left.

     There were SO MANY PEOPLE at Comic-Con. Reports say that 125,000 people attended. WOW! Thank you to EVERYONE who stopped by our table and said hello! Out of all those people, Doris was the first person to purchase our prequel comic. For doing so, she was awarded with a Red Moon soda!

     We met so many great people at the show, like this character who paid Dave to do a commission of him.

     The really amazing thing was, it never spoke to us. It just barked, howled, pointed and nodded. Even though no real words were spoken, Dave knew exactly what it wanted and drew this picture!

     Another person stopped by and asked for a drawing of the character, Wasp. Here’s the drawing Dave did.

     And when she came back to pic up the drawing, she was dressed as Wasp! How cool!

     Jerry and Kelly picked up a couple of copies of the prequel. In talking with them, we found out they train dolphins at Sea World! So we showed them pages from the upcoming graphic novel that feature dolphins.

     At another point, this scary guy stopped by!

     This is just a small sample of all the great people who swung by our table. We had a really successful show and we topped our sales from Heroescon in Charlotte! Thanks again to everyone who stopped by. Hope you all like the prequel comic!

     And here’s a few more commissions that Dave did at the show…

     In the coming weeks we’ll be announcing some more conventions that we’ll be going to as well as how you can get your hands on a preqeul comic if you can’t make it out to any of the shows!

     Hey everyone! Steve here this time with some info on where you can find Red Moon at Comic-Con. Plus, we’re announcing another contest as well!

     First up, congratulations to Andy Childress on winning the Star Wars themed Red Moon sketch that Dave did! We’ve got something else to give away, but you have to read to the end of the blog to find out what it is.

     So we’ll be at Comic-Con in a little over a week! Dave and I are really excited. It’s the biggest comic book convention…anywhere! There’s 125,000 people expected to attend this year. Should be fun! If you’re going, here’s how to find us.

     First off, if you’re looking for us in the progam guide or on the website, we’re listed under “Cossack Comics” (my comic book company). We’ll have the same Red Moon table layout and everything. We’re just listed differently. Here’s the layout of HALF of the Comic-Con floor with the Small Press Pavilion circled.

And here’s the Small Press Pavilion. We’ll be at table K-05.

     If you’re going, stop on by! We’d love to meet ya’! However, if you can’t go and still want to get a prequel comic, we’ll be selling them online shortly after Comic-Con. But… we’re giving away another signed prequel comic as our next contest prize! Here’s how you can win it. First of all, check out the trailer for the prequel comic, Red Moon: The Rising.

     Hello again everyone. Steve here this time with some BIG news and our next contest details as well. Let’s get right to the announcemnet…

     Red Moon will be on tour this Summer! To get people interested in Red Moon (and to reach a wider audience) artist/author of Red Moon, David McAdoo, and myself will be going to 2 comic book conventions this Summer. We’ll have a table at the shows where you’ll be able to purchase something (more on that in a second). You’ll also be able to see David working on actual pages from the graphic novel right at the table! So if you’re going to one of the shows, please stop by and say hello. We’d love to meet all the great people that we’ve gotten to know online this past year.

So, what shows will we be at?

     First up, we’ll be at HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC on June, 19-22. Click the link to learn all about the show. They have an AMAZING guest list.

And next up…

     We’ll be at Comic Con in San Diego, CA! The biggest comic convention…anywhere! The show runs July 22nd-26th. We’ll be there everyday with a table in the Small Press area.

     And don’t worry, we’ll remind everyone again as to where EXACTLY our table will be located for each show when the dates near.

     The full blown, 200 page graphic novel won’t be ready for the shows, so what are we selling?

     Red Moon: The Rising is a collection of the three stories that lead up the the begining of the graphic novel, Red Moon. Each story focuses on one of the main characters of the graphic novel and the part they play in the bigger picture. Some of you may have read the first 2 prequel stories online. This 28 page comic completes the entire prequel. We’ll be selling the comic EXCLUSIVELY at the 2 shows first but don’t worry, if you can’t make it out to one of the shows, we’ll be making the comic available for purchase online right after Comic Con.

     But you know what? We’re giving away the very first copy for free! Dave will sign and draw on it. You’ll get the VERY FIRST prequel comic that Dave will sign. Here’s how you can win…

     First of all, check out the trailer for the prequel, Red Moon: The Rising.

     All you have to do is tell people about the trailer by linking to it somehow. Bulletin about it. Post the trailer in a blog. Post a link to it on twitter. Get creative! Just let us know that you got the message out on the prequel comic and that’s it! You’re in the running for the first signed copy! You can email us at redmoon.novel@yahoo.com to let us know where your link is or if you’re a friend of ours on twitter.com/redmoongn we’ll see the tweet.
