The Martian Confederacy Blog

Toxic air. Bloodthirsty politicians. Drinking bears.

APE was great, despite the rain

Posted by paige on November 5, 2008

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and a BIG thank you to my creative life partner, Jason McNamara for hosting my spotlight panel on Saturday… and for going to all the trouble to ask new and different questions about “Jane’s World.”

Our Mars book got lots of good attention at the show.

Thank you to the comic con folks who organized a great event.

Updated release date

Posted by paige on August 1, 2008

Hello to all of you nice comic fans who pre-ordered The Martian Confederacy. The original release date for the book was the last week of July / first week of August… but do to Comic con in San Diego and some technical issues with the printer (who knew doing a color book was so complicated?)… anyway due to these various obstacles, The actual release date is going to be August 11th. Woo hoo! I can’t wait to see this book on shelves at comic shops.

Some glimpses of Mars, the final chapter

Posted by paige on June 6, 2008

The book is finished and all that remains is finishing up the color work, so I wanted to upload a few panels… stuff that will give readers a glimpse of the characters without giving too much of the story away. I don’t want to ruin the big finish for you guys.

Detail from page 104, Spinner reclaims his spot at the top of the food chain.

Detail from page 120, chick fight on the off-world cruiser.

Detail from page 130 (I just love Lou.)

Detail from page 132, women… Boone has no idea what they want…
