Latino Comics Expo

It looks like we're going to be showing up at a Con a little sooner then we thought!
We've been invited to show our work at the first ever Latino Comics Expo, taking place right here in San Francisco at the Cartoon Art Museum on Saturday May 7th and Sunday May 8th.

Check out their website for more information!

Hopefully we'll get to see you there, especially if you weren't able to make it to Wondercon.

Workin' Away

The rush from WonderCon is starting to abide, but our momentem hasn't!
APE released it's exhibitor applications on the 8th, so we're hoping to have that done by Friday so we have a better chance of getting a good spot there.
It can be hard to coordinate things at times because both Mario and Cristian work, and all three of us are going to school part or full-time, but we're making it all work.

Don't forget about us just because our next Con isn't for a few months!
Cause we haven't forgotten about you or the comic, so stay tuned for next week!

WonderCon Re-Cap

Well everyone, we did it, WonderCon is finally over and it was a huge success for us here at Reluctant Zero. We passed out all of our free preview issues and stickers, and had a great amount of interest in both Mario's writing samples and Cristian's art portfolios. And we were even interviewed for a live webcast on Saturday, which we will be posting a link to as soon as it is sent to us!

We met some wonderful artists, made some really great friends, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire Con. We were even in the same row as Elvira and got a chance to meet Robert Kirkman, the writer of The Walking Dead, as well as getting the oppertunity to purchase the X-Men/SF Giants variant cover!

All in all this WonderCon was a huge success and we look forward to attending several more cons this year and hopefully you will see us again at WonderCon next year. Don't take your eyes off us anytime soon, because things are moving quickly!
Look forward to pictures from the Con later in the week and too more updates on our progress.

And don't forget to add our new website to your favorites, http://reluctantzero.com/

See you soon,

Thanks for all your support along the way, we hope you enjoy the preview and we look forward to your feedback.

WonderCon and Reading

Hey there everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I unexpectedly had to go to my parents house out by Davis, CA, so I wasn't able to get around to it.

But back to what you all are really after, WonderCon updates. It's getting close to the big day, and we here at Reluctant Zero are definitely feeling the time crunch, but everything is starting to come together, despite the craziness. You can look forward to not only seeing the preview live at WonderCon, but some other secret goodies as well, so make sure you come by to have a look and pick up some freebies! Plus you'll get a chance to ask Mario and Cristian any questions you may have about the comic itself or the process of producing and printing an independent comic.

We here at Reluctant Zero also wanted to share a website with you, our lovely readers, which supports reading the written word. A lot of comics these days are put out on the web, and now you can read books and zines digitally too. And while we see the connivance in this, we decided to make our comic a print one, because there's nothing quite like holding a new comic in your hands at your favorite comic book shop or the newest book in your favorite series the day it comes out. So we here at Reluctant Zero would like to share our pledge to read the printed word with the button featured below, if you simply click on it, it will take you to the website where you can choose a button to place on your page as well.


Have a good week everyone, and remember, only TEN DAYS till WonderCon!
