We are extremely thrilled to be working on this book and like all our projects, we will be giving 100% of our efforts.

Lookout in March for those who participated in the Sex and Violence Kickstarter project, we are moving forward and will begin the process of distributing both the digital and physical books.

Also, for those fans in the Orlando, FL area (or traveling there), Mar. 15 to Mar. 17, several of the PaperFilms team will be in attendance at the MegaCon Convention.

If you are coming, make sure to swing by and say hello to Amanda, Justin, Jimmy and Frank.  This is a great chance to meet with them and for them to thank you for supporting their projects.

New West writer announced and more news around the web

One of the fun projects we were able to work on with the lovely and talented Phil Noto was our mini series called New West from Black Bull Publishing.  This was created in 2005 and is being produced by Benderspink, Len Wiseman and Gareb Shamus.

Well, Variety is reporting a writer has now been attached to the project, which is great news!

Additionally, make sure you swing by the Stranger Factory website.  Our Art of Narrative had a glorious turnout for both the exhibition and the storytelling workshop.  There are several items still available from the event for purchase.  You can check it out at their website.

Finally, we are hoping that some public notice of a new Facebook page will allow DC to consider publishing an Absolute Edition for Jonah Hex.  Again, we don’t control this but the more feedback they get, the better the chances are for this happening.  So if you find it in your liking, please add the page to your list and leave a comment!

TriggerGirl 6 from Image Comics

While we had to say goodbye to Creator Owned Heroes last week, we opened up the door to another project.  In March, we will be putting out a collection of the TriggerGirl 6 story by us and phenomenal artwork by the talented Phil Noto.  This will be coming out from Image Comics.

Below is an order form that you can take to your local retailer to ensure you get a printed copy of this book.  Can’t tell you how proud of this project we are and how much fun it was to finally see it in print.  Was a joy to work on.  So please, make sure you ask your retailer to order this book and if you can share it with others, we’re forever your friends!  Well, if you are coming here, we’re already your friends but even more good karma will come your way.

We have also started another Facebook fan page to see if there is any interesting in getting a Jonah Hex Absolute Edition out there.  This is totally in the hands of DC Comics, but we are hoping if there is enough support, it will garner the attention that this great character deserves.  Too many good stories from the past are just sitting out there waiting to be read and we’d love to have a big HC sitting on our selves just like you would.  So please join the group and post your comments.  These are noticed by DC.

Thanks again for everyone’s support!

Injustice: Gods Among Us – April 16th Release Date

ComicBookResources has a nice writeup about this at:

Upcoming show and a wonderful surprise

Had a pleasant surprise this week to see that Queen Crab was included in a top 10 books of the year list.  Very touching indeed.

Great 2012 and looking forward to an incredible 2013!

Well, for those of you stopping by the site, we hope you are enjoying the visit and the projects that we have done this past year.  We really couldn’t have done it without many of you. Several of our Kickstarter projects were completed with more on the way and for those efforts, we offer heart felt thanks for your continued support.

Creator Owned Heroes was a great effort, however it just didn’t stick with some fans and retailers but it was an adventure we were determined to try.  We learned some things, good and bad, but hopefully we can apply that knowledge to our future endevors. 

But with all the projects we do, we always look back and say thanks for supporting us through thick and thin.  Hopefully in 2013 we get a chance to see everyone at a convention, signing, and online and give you a much deserved “Thank You!”

We have some exciting projects upcoming and hope that you stick around for the continued ride!  Take some time and visit with the family and friends that are dear to you and from all of the PaperFilms crew, we wish you a Warm and Happy New Year’s 2013!
