CE Workshop Member Joey Groah Launches "Dry Seasons" Kickstarter

Creators Workshop member Joey Groah has launched a Kickstarter campaign for his comic project Dry Seasons.

The script was workshopped on the Creators Workshop, and Joey even kindly mentions Comics Experience in his Kickstarter description.

Dry Seasons is Romeo & Juliet meets Mad Max. Years after the apocalypse, Ann and Paul are two star-crossed lovers. They uncover a plot that could destroy their families, and other survivors.

Dry Seasons is an action-adventure story, lo-fi sci-fi. The four 22-page print and digital issues of Dry Seasons will be a complete "done-in-one" that has possibilities for future volumes.

The Kickstarter has already garnered more than 50 backers toward its overall $7,000 goal.

In addition to the book itself in print and digital form, those pledging can receive other incentives including limited edition versions of the books, t-shirts, original art by artist Ryan Cody, or even name a character!

You can even receive a script critique from writer/editor and CE Book Club Manager Paul Allor! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro-Series, Clockwork, Orc Girl)

And there's a sketch available from CE Art Moderator Gannon Beck, who is also Joey's collaborator on an upcoming mini series, as well as the co-writer and artist on Space Corps. Gannon is doing a sketch of any character of your choice on 9"x11" paper.

With more than two weeks left, there's still plenty of time to jump on this Kickstarter for Dry Seasons!

Best of luck to Joey with the Kickstarter!

COMMUNITY NEWS: Douek on Graphicly, Sergi on Comics Law, and Groah talks DoubleFeature!

We're had LOTS of news this week from the Comics Experience community, and we wanted to share three more items as we enter the weekend!



Comics Experience alum and Creators Workshop member, Rich Douek's comic book Gutter Magic has been released on Graphicly.

The Gutter Magic one-shot tells a tale of sword, sorcery and sixguns in three interconnected tales of an alternate history where a magic-fueled World War II drove the world to the brink of apocalypse.

The book features art by Craig S. Yeung, Jason Baroody, and JC Grande, along with colors by Paul Little and lettering by Creators Workshop member E.T. Dollman!

Purchase a digital copy of Gutter Magic for only 99 cents on Graphicly:

Gutter Magic One-Shot on Graphicly!




Comics Experience alum and Creators Workshop member, Joe Sergi, also happens to be a Legal Eagle, and in the past has appeared on various podcasts and shows discussing law cases related to comics.

So, it's no big surprise that Joe recently appeared on the Comic Geek Speak podcast to chat about two cases very much in the news -- the Robert Kirkman/Tony Moore contract dispute over The Walking Dead, and the Marvel Comics/Gary Friedrich suit related to Ghost Rider.

To hear a discussion of the issues from the perspective of an attorney (who also happens to be a comic book creator) check out:

Legal Brief Edition with Joe Sergi




We've previously talked about Creators Workshop member Joey Groah's podcast, In Production. In each episode, Joey has "conversations with people making things," whether it's origin story, process, workflow, or the overall business of being creative.

And in Episode 19, Joey had an in-depth chat about DoubleFeature Comics with Four Star Studios members Sean Dove, Josh Emmons, Mike Norton, and Tim Seeley. You can hear about how these guys got together and began putting out digital comics by top creators for 99 cents.

"Writing for Comics" Panel - CGS Super Show 2011

For those looking forward to NYCC 2011 -- or even for those wishing they were going -- we thought we'd offer up a convention panel from earlier this year!

The "Writing for Comics" panel was presented by Comics Experience at the 2011 Comic Geek Speak Super Show on Saturday, April 30th, in Reading, PA.

The panel was moderated by Comics Experience founder, writer, and former IDW and Marvel editor, Andy Schmidt (5 Days to Die, GI Joe: Future Noir, Challenger Deep) with panelists Rob Anderson (Animal Control SCU, Rex Zombie Killer), Fred Van Lente (Incredible Hercules, Marvel Zombies 3 & 4, Action Philosophers), Drew Gaska (Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes, Critical Millennium), and Bryan J.L. Glass (The Mice Templar, Thor: First Thunder, Valkyrie). The panel is introduced by Comics Experience alum and Creators Workshop member, Joe Sergi (Sky Girl, Great Zombies in History).

Topics included: what is a story, planning/outlining your stories, collaborating with artists, methods for breaking down panels and dialogue, and more!

Special thanks to Creators Workshop member, Joey Groah, of the In Production podcast, for recording and editing the session, as well as creating the cool Comics Experience logo introduction!

Comics Experience Community News 7/18/2011

We have even more updates from Comics Experience alumni and Workshop members this month!

Graphic.ly has released the first issue of Shaun Manning's new digital comic book, Hell, Nebraska. During San Diego Comic-Con this week -- whether you're at the convention or at home -- the first issue will be on sale for half off. You can also check it out at Graphic.ly's demo station at the con.

What would you do if you discovered that Hell did not exist? For one man, the answer is simple: create it. As a monstrous infernal city erupts from the soil of America's heartland, a teenage boy discovers he may have the power to prevent Hell on Earth--but does he want to?


Hell, Nebraska is written by Shaun with art by Anna Wieszczyk and lettering by Ed Brisson. Shaun is a Comics Experience alum from back when the classes were held live in New York City, and he's a current Comic Creators Workshop member. You'll definitely want to check out his book -- online now, or at San Diego Comic-Con!

For more info on Hell, Nebraska, click here.


Comic Creators Workshop member, Joey Groah, has launched a new podcast called In Production, which Joey describes as "conversations with people making things."

Joey talks origin story, process, workflow, and the overall business of being creative with people like editor/director/producer Dave Gorrie and former ad exec, now marketing manager, Andy Perrine.

The site is http://www.InProductionShow.com or you can subscribe through iTunes or RSS. Give it a listen!
