Category: Production Update

THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook is finally finished! It feels so good to write that. I sent the completed files to the printer last week. Now we are just waiting to go through the production and shipping process. It should take about 2 weeks for the printer to complete the books, and at least another week for me to receive the them, before I can ship them out to backers in a few weeks. 

All backers should have their digital rewards now. The links and information were sent out this week, so be sure to check your inboxes and filters. I’ll post more updates on the printing process here, through social media, and the campaign page.

I hope you enjoy another sneak peek of a few pages we couldn’t show during the campaign. Melee with art by Ray Anthony Height (Spider-Man, Midnight Tiger) and Kona with art by Gus Vazquez (Big Hero Six, The Flash). We will have extra copies of THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook available at www.BigBlueComics.com once all the backer rewards have shipped. If you missed out on the original campaign, look for an announcement when you can order your copy.

Our last convention appearance of the year is coming up at the Baltimore Comic Con October 28th-30th. This is another great event with a strong emphasis on comics. If your in the area, I hope you can make it and don’t forget to stop by Artist’s Alley table #E4 and check out all the cool stuff. Though this is our last convention of the year, we are making plans for some store signings this year to be announced soon.

In spite of all of the setbacks and delays, we are so close. I’m combing the book over and over to make sure every page is perfect. Everyday I’m making it sharper, clearer, and better. I’m actually having a lot of fun rewriting the characters backstory, and making sure that every detail is the best it can be. I’m in the home stretch and will be sending it off to the printer very soon. Thank you to all the backers who have been patiently waiting these last few months. The wait is almost over and you’ll have the books soon enough. I am so proud of this project and am so excited to finally share it. After all rewards are delivered, we will make a limited amount available through our website for those who may have missed out on the campaign. I’ll post more updates here, through social media, and the campaign page. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek of some colored art that we weren’t able to show off during the campaign. Melee by Ray Anthony Height (Spider-Man, Midnight Tiger), Wartoy by Jason Krause (THE RESISTANTS), and Kona by Gus Vazquez (Big Hero Six, The Flash), with all colors by Ross A. Campbell (Wildstorm).

We have 2 more convention appearances this year. First up is the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con September 16th-18th. I’ll be joined by artist Jason Johnson (Flash, Wetworks, The Howling) on Saturday from 10:00-2:00. And then next month it’s on to the Baltimore Comic Con October 28th-30th. It’s so great to be returning to these shows after the long hiatus. If you’re in the area, I hope you can come by, get your books signed, and check out all the cool stuff

We have 3 convention appearances in the next 3 weeks, starting with the Long Beach Comic Con this weekend! THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook is almost finished and going to the printer soon. I’m pushing to still get the books out by the end of this month. But I don’t know if that will happen.

I’m still putting the finishing touches on the book before sending them off to the printer. I don’t like to give excuses, but after getting sick and my data loss, it put me back farther than I hoped and was a lot more work than I anticipated. The book is about 95% done and I’ll be sending it off to the printer soon enough. Since we are using a printer here in the states, it will only take a couple weeks to get them back. I’m doing everything I can to get them out this month as planned, so backers can have them in their hands on time. I’ll post more updates here, through social media, and the campaign page.

We have 3 convention appearances this month, starting with the Long Beach Comic Con this weekend September 3rd-4th. Then it’s on to Portland Oregon for the Rose City Comic Con September 9th-11th. And finally the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con September 16th-18th. It’s so great to be returning to these shows after the two year hiatus. If you’re in the area, I hope you can come by and check out all the cool stuff.

Production rolls on for THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook. The Kickstarter backer surveys were sent out last week with the book on schedule for late-summer/early-fall. Before that, we have a few convention appearances with the Denver Fan Expo this weekend.

I’m still waiting for a few responses to the THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook surveys. If you backed the project, please check your inboxes and spam folders. We just need a little bit of information from you; for example, if you want your books signed, or if you need to change your address. I’m still putting the finishing touches on the production and text before I can send the book to the printer next month. Despite getting sick and my computer recently crashing, we are still on track to deliver the guidebook to backers by September as estimated. After all backers have received their rewards, the book will be made available through our website and convention appearances. I’ll continue to update on the progress here, through social media, and the campaign page.

This weekend is the Denver Fan Expo and writer/creator K.J. Kaminski will be in Artist Valley. If your in the area, come over to table #A78 to check out all the books in person or just chat about comics. The Denver Fan Expo is July 1-3 at the Colorado Convention Center.

This book has been a long time coming and I’m so excited to launch it this month. A lot of hours have been invested in making this the best book it can be. Starting at 48 pages this comic book-sized definitive guidebook contains over 40+ new illustrations from some of the best artists Big Blue Comics has to offer. This campaign is set up to enhance the main book with the stretch goals. Once we are funded we’ll add more pages, characters, and new art to the book- so the better we do, the more the rewards increase in value. Along with the new guidebook, we’ll also have an exclusive Variant Edition, T-Shirt, and trading cards. Check out the preview page here and follow for the launch April 19th.

If you’ve been following the stories in THE RESISTANTS & HYPER-ACTION, you know we’ve been introducing a lot of Bounty Hunters. After the events of The Broadcast Offensive story-arc, the characters from both books will collide in THE RESISTANTS: The Bounty Hunter Blitz. Before that, we are going to release THE RESISTANTS: Definitive Guidebook, a Who’s Who Official Handbook for the characters of the HYPER-ACTION WORLD. “You can’t follow the game if you don’t know the players.” We’ll be revealing more details about the upcoming campaign in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I hope you take the time to check out the landing page and get notified about the launch THE RESISTANTS: The Definitive Guidebook Vol. 1.
