Warning: A little of Self-Promotion.

"The Gathering" is a a self published comic anthology from some people of the Brian Bendis' Jinxworld forums. For more info about the origins of the anthology, please check [link]

Well, it turned out my husband, a lifetime fan of comics and aspiring writer, was among those enthusiastic group of friends and partnered with artist John Coker for one of the 2-paged stories within the first issue "The thing with Feathers", the hope-themed volume 1 on 2010. Response from creative teams was so good they also planned vol 2 "The other side of despair" for a later release that same year.

Instead of dying the initiative grew stronger. Editor Andrew Goletz set an online submission process for the volumes to follow. All of 2011 anthologies themes and writers were decided last year and vol 3 just went out for a convention called MOCCA.

It is on this volume that I first contributed. The theme is "Heroes" and my husband wrote a wonderful 7-page story. I won't give many details about the plot, however you can check a preview page in my gallery.  

The experience was wonderful. The quality of the print book has always been amazing... very professional, just like any other comic from big companies. My husband will write for two more volumes, Myth and Romance, and I will be helping him with the latter (very excited, btw.)

I encourage other artists and writers out there to enter the submission process for 2012. Check [link] I might be trying solo for vol 9 and together with Ignacio for vol 10 (Dedicated to our first baby, who'll be born on August <3), hope we get chosen.

Well, that's it. Don't forget to check "The Gathering" and if it's not too much to ask, please support the creators by buying a volume or two!
