Baroque Network!

Baroque Network is a free, tri-annual, public event where artists and other creatives from the Spokane area can meet, network and have fun.

Part of the event is the Seven2 Draw Off,  which pits two groups of 3 local artists each, doing live drawing based on a theme. This time around, one of the teams is the "Comic Book Guys", made up of 3 Guild members: Jeremy Whittington, Colton Worley and Joshua Covey.

There will also be raffles, a screen-printing station, belly dancing, a photo booth as well as many local art and vendor booths.

The event will be at A Club Spokane from 5 pm to 10 pm, this Saturday July 7. There's no admission fee, but donations will be accepted, with proceeds going to help Feed Spokane. 

You can RSVP at the event's Facebook page: Baroque Network!

The Avengefuls!

Tomorrow (May 2) marks the release of yet another big comic title from a local creator - The Avengefuls by Joshua Covey, written by Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston and published by Boom Studios! This is one of a series of Marvel movie parody comics that Johnston is doing, each one based on a different Marvel property.

You can check out a few pages from the issue here: Avengefuls Preview!

Joshua has been extra busy recently - he is also illustrating all of the covers for the 2nd printings for all four of the Marvel parody books, as well as doing the 3rd printing cover for Boom Studios' Supurbia #1. You can see that cover here: Supubia by Joshua Covey.

And don't forget that this week is also the release of Dynamite's The Spider, drawn by Colton Worley, who will be signing at Merlyns tomorrow from 5 - 7 pm. In addition, you'll have a chance to meet both of these creators at the upcoming Spokane ComiCon, on May 19!

The Spider Signs!

We had previously shown some awesome preview pages for Dynamite's new "The Spider" series on this very site. The book is illustrated by local artist Colton Worley, and if you need a reminder you can see the pages here: The Spider Strikes!

Well, the series debuts this week, and Spokane shop Merlyns will be having a signing for the book on Wednesday. Colton will be at the shop from 5 - 7 pm, meeting fans and signing the first issue.
