Happy Holidays Everyone

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Reluctant Zero!
We hope that all of you are enjoying this holiday season with friends and family.

We got a letter from WonderCon a few weeks ago letting us know that we had gotten into the Con for the second year in a row! We were very excited and happy to get the letter, but sadly we will not be able to attend this time around. Due to the move to Anaheim and the due date for the table payment being much too close to Christmas, it simply isn't within our budget to go. Hopefully we will see you ate APE this fall and if we are in a better place financially next year, maybe at WonderCon too!

If you haven't gotten your comic loving friends and family a gift yet don't forget that you can order the comics from us directly on the blog through PayPal!

Happy Holidays,
Angelica P.R.

Thanksgiving and Progress

Hey Everyone!!

Long time no see, how was everyone's Thanksgiving, and if you don't celebrate it, then how was your day(s) off?

We all had a great time with our prospective families and now that it's December were back on track with the comic.

Yesterday Cristian, Mario, and I met up at our local stop, The Dubliner to discuss where the story will be going in the next few issues and we have up to the story line in issue 5 done. Not too shabby for the huge lack of updates here, right? I can't tell you what the issues are about just yet, but maybe if everyone asks real nice Mario will let me reveal some clues!

We hope your December started off well and we'll see you soon!

Till Next Time,

Angelica P.R.

Fall's Going by so Fast!

Hey all, I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post!

It's been pretty slow going since APE ended, and with the holidays coming up, it's not likely to get any easier.

I do have some good news though! Mario has finished the first two pages of dialogue for issue two, and Cristian has been working on several pieces of original concept art that he will hopefully be able to sell at our next convention. And speaking of conventions I faxed our application to WonderCon in finally and now we're just waiting to see if we get in, cross your fingers for us everyone!!

We hope everyone had a great Halloween this year, we had a great time! I was a unicorn, Mario was Mario from the video game and Cristian was Harry Potter one night and Wolverine the next day. What were you??

Till Next Time,

Just Checking In

Hey everybody,

It's been 20 days since APE, and were just starting to really get back on track, the break was nice, but it's time to get down to business! And again, if you have something you would like to publish, please let us know, as we would love to have you under the Vagabond umbrella :)

What is everyone going to be for Halloween this year? I'm making my costume, as I've decided to be a unicorn, I don't know if the boys have any solid plans yet I guess we'll just have to wait till Halloween to see what they plan!

We'll see you again very soon~

50th post and the start of a new issue!

Wow, can you guys believe we're already at 50 posts on here? Thanks for sticking with us through it all, and if you're new, thanks again for joining, we really appreciate it!

Cristian and Mario had their first preliminary meet up this week to discuss issue two, and Cristian should be able to start drawing this weekend as long as the dialogue and mock-ups work themselves out. We've been selling pretty well to our friends, co-workers, and classmates, if you haven't picked up an issue yet, or if you can't buy one in person, don't worry, we have a Paypal account, just shoot us a message and we'll get back to you with an invoice.

I'll be faxing our entry to WonderCon today, wish us luck on getting in everyone!!

And if you are a writer or an artist, or both, please feel free to submit your work to us, because we would love to publish you under Vagabond Comics and help you meet other people to work with!

I hope everyone is excited for the strt of the new season of The Walking Dead, you can bet that we are!

Till next time everyone,

APE Photos!

Here's what the booth looked like, Keith was there on Saturday, but unfortunately had to go to his dreaded "day job" on Sunday. Cristian managed to bring our good luck charm, Yoda both days though :) What do you think of the comic cover?

Here you can see Mario schmoozin' with potential customers, and you can even see Keith there in the background!

Here's the whole group of people that we hung out with most of the weekend, minus a few other artist friends who had booths further away from ours.

And finally, here I am enjoying the issue back behind our booth, it has some great jokes and art in it!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures if you couldn't stop by and see us for real!

Till next time,

APE Wrap-up

So, as you all know, APE was this past weekend, and it was here that we debuted the first issue of Reluctant Zero! Though traffic throughout the con wasn't as high as it had been in past years due to several other events happening the same weekend, we still view the con and the whole weekend really, as a huge success. We traded comics with other retailers, saw old friends, and debuted our parent company, Vagabond Comics. If you are interesting in publishing your work under our umbrella let me know, we are always happy to take submissions and give feedback.

We sold a fair number of comics, especially for an unknown comic, and we are already ready to start work on issue two, which should be for sale at WonderCon in spring. Cristian and Keith also got inspired to create prints to sell at the next con as well.

If you are interested in purchasing the comic, please comment here or on our Facebook Page with your Paypal address and physical address, and I will invoice you :)

All the pictures will be in the next post!

See you soon,

~Angelica P.R.
