Red Moon

     Hello everyone! Steve here with our Heroescon 2010 report!

     Dave and I were really excited for Heroescon this year because we were debuting the book at the show. It was going to be the first time anyone was able to purchase the book! All the hard work of the past 3 years has lead up to this weekend and we were just so happy and thrilled to have the book for sale and be able to have it finally available for people.

     So first things first. When we get to the con, we have to put up the Lost Dog flyers the day before.

     Next, it’s off to pick up our badges. This year’s badges were done by Skottie Young and featured baby X-Men! Exhibitors in the Artists Alley got Wolverine ones! How cool!

     Then it’s off to go set up inside. Heroescon the day before they open to the public is as deserted as the begining of that movie “I Am Legend” except Will Smith isn’t there…or the dog…or the creepy monster/mutated things. Yeah. Just like that movie.

     So we set up and then went back to the hotel room. But we barely slept cause we were both too excited for the premier of the book! We finally got a couple hours of sleep and woke up ready to go on the big day!

     Those that were following us on our twitter and on our facebook page got the opportunity to win some prizes by saying a “secret phrase” to us. Congratulations to Shannon and Sam for winning the Red Moon sodas. And remember to join us on twitter and facebook in the future for more contests from the shows!

     We had a really great response to the book as well as plenty of sales. We sold more graphic novels at this year’s Heroescon then we did with just prequels at last year’s show! And people kept coming up to us saying they read it the night before and well, here’s a taste…

     Snow Wildsmith, who has a quote on the back of the book, stopped by as well! Make sure you check out her interview with Dave on Good Comics for Kids that she conducted at the show!

     And speaking of interviews, Heather from Dollar Bin stopped by and did and interview with us! You can listen to that at The Dollar Bin’s website. Here’s some pics of Heather conducting the interview…

     Dave did PLENTY of commissions at the show too. Here’s just a small sampling of some of the pieces he did for fans over the weekend…

     Dave also did a piece for the Heroescon Art Auction…

     The piece seemed to really capture people’s attention as the piece went for WAY MORE than Dave and I expected. Seriously, there was a bidding war going on. Let’s just say that Dave and I had a guess as to what we thought the final price was going to be…and then the piece wound up selling for four and a half times that amount! Here’s a shot of the all the amazing comic book art fans at the auction Saturday night…

     We had a really great time at Heroescon this year. If you’ve never been, make sure to check it out next summer. And if you’re ever in Charlotte, check out the store that puts on the show, Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find. We stopped by there after the last day of the show and it’s an amazing store. They even bought a couple of our books and put it on their shelves! Thanks guys!

     And lastly, we would like to thank Sam for giving us the coolest piece of fan art in the world. It’s on a paper plate! That rules. Thanks Sam!

Hope to see everyone at a future con!

     Steve here with a special announcement and a quick heads up on where you can find us at Heroescon in Charlotte, NC June 4-6. We’ll be premiering Red Moon at this convention! That means this this will be the first place ANYWHERE that you can pick up the graphic novel!

     Here’s the layout of the floor. Look to the left of the grey area labled “Indie Island” for the red circle. That’s us.

     And here’s a closer view of Indie Island and the surrounding area. We’ll be at Small Press Table #31.

     And since we’re premiering the book at this show, we have a special discount for everyone that picks up the book at Heroescon. When the book goes on sale June 9th through our website, RedMoonGraphicNovel.com, and at the rest of the conventions, the book will be $20. But for those that purchase it at Heroescon, you’ll only be paying $15. We just ask that if you like it, please tell someone about it.

Hope to see some of you at the show!

     Hi everyone. Steve here with our Long Beach Comic-Con Report!

Plenty of interesting characters stopped by our table. Like this guy…

And these two guys…

     We also met Nathan who was attending his first ever comic convention. The Red Moon Prequel Comic was his first ever comic convenion purchase! Thanks Nathan! Hope you enjoyed the show!

     We sold tons of prequel books at the convention. Dave also did plenty of commission pieces as well. Here’s some of them. Dave has started doing white on black pieces at the show now and they’re turning out really great.
