PRESS RELEASE: Kade Art Book and SideShows - Exclusives at SDCC July 8, 2011
Kade and SideShows
Arcana Comics is extremely excited about SDCC!
With San Diego Comic Con less than two weeks away, we wanted to bring a little
more information to light about two of our exclusives, which you can pick up at
booth 2415.
Kade Art Book. Limited to 250 copies, Arcana's seminal character, Kade, created
by owner Sean Patrick O'Reilly is celebrated in style in a limited edition art
book. Featuring an original cover by Tim Bradstreet (HELLRAISER, IRON MAN: THE
RAPTURE) and including brand new artwork from talented artists such as Tim
Seeley (HACK/SLASH), Brent Schoonover (HORRORWOOD), Greg Horn (THOR GOES
HOLLYWOOD), Kevin Mellon (GEARHEAD), Ashley Wood (MYSTERY SOCIETY), Liam Sharp
(GOD KILLERS), Ben Templesmith (30 DAYS OF NIGHT), Greg Titus (VAMPIRE
HUNTRESS), and Whilce Portacio (UNCANNY X-MEN, WETWORKS). Don't miss out on
this limited title and your chance to see some of the industry's top talent's
take on Kade, Arcana's enigmatic warrior.
Sean Patrick O'Reilly says of the art book, "Kade is Arcana's first comic and
graphic novel, and we now have seven graphic novels in the library for the
series. This comic book artbook looks back at some of the great talents that
have worked on the series, and also showcases some never before seen artwork.
Just some of the artists are Tim Bradstreet, Greg Horn, Bob Hall, Whilce
Portacio and many of the talented artist at Cadence Comics."
SideShows Launch Edition. Written by Erik Hendrix with art from
Michael David Nelsen, SideShows is an action-packed story of crime and powers
set in 1950's Las Vegas. It makes its debut at SDCC this year in an extremely
limited "launch edition" of 100 copies. In addition to the story, it contains
some behind the scenes of the concept as well as pin-ups from some amazing
artists.
In advance of its debut, we sent out copies to some friends of ours and here's
what they had to say.
"Dark, disturbing, envelope-pushing stuff. Bring your brain and pay
attention. The ride is worth it." – Jim Shooter (MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER, DOCTOR
SOLAR)
"A cool story, told with loads of pace and verve." – Mike Carey (UNWRITTEN,
X-MEN LEGACY)
"Energetic, dynamic art and a great story. I enjoyed this thoroughly, and you
will, too." – Mark Waid (DAREDEVIL, IRREDEEMABLE)
"Vegas gangsters, circus freaks, magic, guns and violence – all served up in a
blaze of glory that burns across the page." – J.T. Krul (GREEN ARROW, TEEN
TITANS)
"The gorgeous, almost impressionist, art contrasted with the darkness of the
seedy underbelly of Vegas plot makes for a gripping story. The addition of
supernatural powers is icing on the cake." – Jim Hardison (Dark Horse's THE
HELM)
"Visually Stunning with a dynamic story that pulls you in and doesn't let go.
Erik Hendrix and Michael David Nelsen have made one hell of a book." – Michael
Easton (SOUL STEALER, Vertigo's GREEN WOMAN)
Here's the pitch!
In 1950's Las Vegas, the mob enlisted former circus attractions as their aces
in the hole. These SideShows had a little secret... They really did have the
abilities they pretended to.
The Rat Pack was in their prime, the bartenders knew your name, and the same
guy who comped your rooms could put a hit on you for stiffing him a tip.
High rollers, lounge singers, cigarettes, alcohol, and superpowers.
Welcome to Las Vegas.
