Comics News: Wayward Raven Signs James Emmett and The Committee

Wayward Raven Media Inks James Emmett and The Committee

Wayward Raven Media is excited to announce the addition of James B. Emmett to the flock. The talented author/illustrator signed a contract for the development of his comic book series The Committee. The story takes place in a world where the mystical and scientific merge as an ongoing battle to preserve the world unfolds through conflicts with beings of unimaginable power and malice. The clock keeps ticking down, while uniquely gifted members of The Committee race to find truth about the universe and themselves. Big magic equals big fun before a big bang destroys us all.

James Emmett is a sequential artist, illustrator and painter. He lives in the New York Metro area and graduated from Pratt Institute. James does design and illustration for Kess Agency and freelances for Marvel Comics where he was also an Editorial Assistant on books like The Avengers, Captain America, Spiderman, Thor and The X-Men. His artwork has been published by Saint James Comics, Grayhaven Comics, Rebel Sidekick Studios, Atlas Unleashed and Twisted Tree Comics. See here for his full bio.

In addition to signing Mr. Emmett, Wayward Raven Media has been busy preparing for an eventful upcoming schedule. The independent comic book company is launching a Kickstarter campaign on April 9th where contributors can get Signed C: the missing #2 and a variety of other original artwork and merchandise before it is available to the general public. There will be varied pledge packages to fit any budget and exclusive limited time offers.

Signed C: the missing is best described as a mix of Lara Croft meeting the TV show Supernatural. In it, a talent agent, who happens to be a legendary sorceress, travels the known realms seeking a kidnapped client. Information will be available on the website www.WaywardRaven.com and also on Twitter @waywardraven.

Additionally Wayward Raven has expanded its convention schedule this year, kicking things off at the Asbury Park ComiCon April 12-13th (see www.asburyparkcomicon.com for additional details).

Wayward Raven Media is also proud to announce that new issues of Horsemen, The Ascendant, & Signed C: the missing will be released within a few months. Artist Matthew Fletcher teamed up with the publisher to produce a magnificent cover of the upcoming issue of Horsemen #2.

Comic News: SIGNED Makes Its Debut At New York Comic Con

Because even the gods need day jobs! SIGNED Releases at NYCCWayward Raven Releases New Title At New York Comic Con

(October 1, 2013)This year at New York Comicon, Wayward Raven Media is debuting their brand new comic book series Signed on their first birthday!!! That’s right, one short year ago Wayward Raven Media came into existence at the NYCC with two inaugural series: The Ascendant and Horsemen. Since then they have put out a weekly webcomic, Damn Heroes, issue two of the Ascendant, a middle grade novel named The Cell and Ominous Odes, a collection of short stories. And now a busy first year is being completed by a whole new series.

Signed takes place in a world where gods did not die out. Instead they got day jobs and hid themselves among mortal affairs. The first installment, C: the missing, follows a talent agent/sorceress who investigates the known realms to find a missing client and in doing so uncovers a deeper plot where the cosmos hangs in a precarious balance. Myth, magic, and mayhem ensue. Other story arcs within the Signed world are currently in production.

In other comic book news, Wayward Raven Media has contracted artist James Beihl to complete the Horsemen series and artist Kat Ayer to work on a new one-shot named The Cycle. A children’s book is also in the development stage. All products are available on http://waywardraven.com. The first opportunity to get your hands on Signed, however, will be at their small press booth number 1266 at New York Comic-Con near Marvel Comics.

In addition to Signed, fans can purchase other Wayward Raven products like comic books, novels, t-shirts, artwork and Damn Heroes activity books.

Wayward Raven will be conducting portfolio reviews at NYCC in search of talent for upcoming projects. Stop by on Friday between 3-5 and Sunday between 2-4 with your work. All disciplines welcome.

The folks at Wayward Raven look forward to celebrating a happy first birthday with all who can attend the New York Comic-Con. Stop by and wish them happy birthday for a free gift.
