Hi, everyone,
We had an absolutely spectacular time together at Heroes Con. Nine creative giants who we work with were at the show. Nothing beats being together in person. We had so many great moments during our time together on the showroom floor and at our dinners. We got to meet many wonderful people who stopped by our booth and even some legendary pros for the first time. It felt more like a vacation with family than an event. A big thanks to Shelton Drum, Karla Southern and the entire Heroes crew for treating us with such kindness. We’ll be back!
In this picture, from left to right: Vicky, John, Joe Dragunas, Gary Gianni, Mark Chiarello, and Mark Schultz. William Stout, Richard and Wendy Pini, Daniel Warren Johnson, Jeffrey Alan Love, and Arthur Adams were also there!

Another Heroes Con high note was spending extended periods of time with Richard and Wendy Pini, along with David Mizejewski at our Flesk booth. Vicky and I consider ourselves to be the luckiest people in the world to have their friendships.

We also sat down with our friend Jeffrey Alan Love to view the original art for the first four issues of News From the Fallout. The originals are stunningly beautiful! Issue #1 of this new comic, written by Chris Condon and drawn by Jeff, is now available from Image Comics. Go grab yourself a copy! Jeff’s new book, The Last Battle at the End of the World and expanded editions of Notes From the Shadowed City and The Thousand Demon Tree were hits at the show!

Check out this recently completed drawing by Mark Schultz! Mark has enough pieces for an all-new collection. We’re working on a fresh title for the first volume of his next series. This book will be released in 2026.
Enjoy,
John
