Footprints #1 Review @ Comic Attack

After a lovely C2E2 experience, I was elated to find yet another great review of Footprints #1, this time courtesy of Comic Attack! Here’s an excerpt:

If you took out the creatures and put in normal people, you’d still get a classic detective story. And that’s not a bad thing, either. This is a comic that doesn’t need cheap gimmicks or reliance on high concept ideas; the story is strong and can stand on its own. Still, I’m curious as to how the story will develop and if they’ll start taking advantage of the creatures’ mythologies. Either way, whether they stick with the classic noir or push the high concept of Big Foot as a detective, they can’t really lose as long as they keep going strong.

Coming from a site that I love, that’s awesome! Be sure to read the full review of Footprints #1 at Comic Attack.

C2E2 & Our New Kickstarter Goal for 3/21/11

Right off the bat, let me just say that C2E2 was awesome — both from a journalistic side and a creative side. Jonathan and I are thankful to any of you that swung by our table to say hi or pick up a copy of Footprints #1. And yes, that includes you, person who stole from us! In seriousness, it was a success for us and we hope to be back next year!

That said, in terms of the Kickstarter Goal we set for ourselves last week… you guys absolutely blew us away. We surpassed our week-long goal in less than 24 hours! Your support means so much to us, and we appreciate everything you’re doing to help spread the word. Keep tweeting that link, and write to Kickstarter to tell them you want to see Footprints as a featured project!

As of this writing, our Kickstarter is34% funded at an amazing $2,550 with 76 days left to go. We’d like to see our pledges go up to $3,100 by next Monday, March 28. Can you help us reach that goal? You can pledge to our Kickstarter Campaign or if you’re already one of our awesome backers, tell everyone else that you know!

Look For THIS @ C2E2

As I sit here in LAX, I again want to thank everyone that’s helped out with Kickstarter thus far. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re confident we’ll reach our goal! Keep spreading the word!

In the meantime, if you’re headed to C2E2 this weekend, keep your eyes peeled for this:

We’ll be at Artist’s Alley Table M4! We have Footprints #1 for sale ($3!) along with the Footprints art print. In addition, Jonathan will have some of his other prints for sale, along with FUBAR. He’s also taking commissions. Come say hi!

Footprints #1 Review @ GeekNative

Andrew at the site GeekNative got his hands on a copy of Footprints #1 and wrote up a very nice review, saying:

Indeed the cast and crew are cryptozoological creatures; we’re introduced to Mr Devil early on, there’s also Nessie, Megalodon (aka Don) and a Chupacabra (aka Choop). What works very early on is Bigfoot as a noir private eye. Visually it works – shambling around in a large coat, that brooding sense of the unexpected and you’re entirely uncertain of what levels of violence Foot is capable of. The league of cryptids gather later on in issue and have enough time and page space to show similar promise.

Footprints #1 Review @ Kitty’s Pryde

The folks at Kitty’s Pryde reviewed Footprints #1 and gave us an amazing 4.5/5 score! Here’s some of what they had to say:

Esposito does good giving them all human qualities. One of the strengths in this story is how he makes creatures like The Jersey Devil, Loch Ness and Megalodon (a giant shark) come across as human but at the same time their “monster”-ness is still a part of them. Off hand comments like Nessie being able to change her size so she can fit into the room and Don (the giant shark) not being able to get involved that much because he’s a giant shark, really help show that they may act like humans but they’re not.
