KING CON

So I'll be at King Con - Brooklyn's first ever comic convention! - this weekend with my good pal Alex Karassavidis! Visit his website here.

That's Nov 7&8, Saturday and Sunday. Here is a link to their site, it looks like it's gonna be awesome! Admission is only $7 per day and $10 for the whole weekend, it seems. Not bad! As soon as I find out what our table is, I'll post it.

Also please note I've changed this blog's address because there was some confusion with my middle initial in there. Now it's just plain ol' rachelfreire.blogspot.com. Just keeping you guys in the know! Thanks everyone who's watching me, please continue to do so!

FCHS - Update + Pgs 4-8

So, there's been a small setback. FCHS has been canceled due to low pre-order numbers. While we won't be published by AdHouse anymore, we also won't give up now. You haven't seen the last of us!

Here's the rest of the FCHS 8-Page prequel, reading bottom up to keep in line with previous posts. Thanks for reading!

Sorry, blog! I have neglected you. But I'm back now, with presents!

So FCHS is now officially in Previews magazine (Sep '09) and available for pre-order here. You can pre-order at any of your local retailers!

Also, Vito and I have been working on a few pages for an FCHS prequel. Here's page one!

Last note: So this might be far along the road, but look out for issue League!!, which may or may not be a mini, sometime early next year. Also, Pin comics #0, which will be a mini. That'll be later this year.

Thanks for all the support, pals and gals!

Heroes Convention 2009

It's a little late, but here's my Heroes Con review:

It was AWESOME! Since I live in New York, I go to both the Big Apple con and MoCCA each year. Heroes Con in NC was like if you stick MoCCA right in the middle of the Big Apple Con! I was stationed at Indie Island, right across from the AdHouse table. Lamar Abrams and Fred Chao where there promoting their own (awesome) comics. My table was right next to Rob Ullman, who had some neat stickers and awesome new comics like Atomic Bomb Banana Hammock. On my other side was Finder writer/artist Carla Speed McNeil. Dean Trippe and Jason Horn were a little farther down. Other awesome guests on the list were Scott Wegener of Atomic Robo Fame, Eric Powell, Joe Staton, Bill Sienkiewicz, Nick Cardy, Dick Giordano, Jeff Powell, Dustin Harbin, and of course Vito Delsante!

Heroes Con also holds an annual auction and guests are invited to donate pieces, as many at they want! So during down time at my table, I drew a couple of kinda finished pieces that went for $150 and $175.

Not bad! All in all, the con was awesome. If you can make it down, it's definitely worth it. The city is great and the weather was beautiful so after the con we walked the two miles down to the comic shop, Heroes Aren't Hard to Find for the after party, which was also awesome. The have Doc Oct fighting Spidey extending from the ceiling, and a great selection of comics!

Special thanks to H. Shelton Drum for having me, and to Dustin for pushing my pieces!
