CC2K Reviews Footprints #1

The first official FOOTPRINTS #1 review is in! Gary Kenny at CC2k gave us a quite lovely 4.0/5 score, saying:

“Esposito’s scribed these characters as if these aren’t just monsters. The book could have worked as a great detective story without the ensemble being cast as monsters, but it’s just that quirkiness that makes it fun and original… The art direction is dark and well detailed. Each comic box has different camera angled shot and it almost feels like you’re watching a 1940s crime drama. This type of direction isn’t in your typical modern comic. Maybe it’s because Moore put in a lot of time and hard work into this piece and wasn’t rushed like so many comic artists are nowadays. Most modern comics all share the same kind of flow: big fight scene, splash page. Footprints feels like it was drawn back in the 1970s where comics were just experimenting with different shots. Moore’s pace and detail make this book flow.”

Thanks guys! And be sure to check out the full review.

Footprints #1 Preview

We’re pleased to unveil the first look at FOOTPRINTS #1! Debuting at C2E2 2o11, the book will be on sale at Artist’s Alley Table M4 for $2.99! You can also pre-order directly from us if you like, using the Paypal link above at the top of the page. The book will also be available digitally after the show.

FOOTPRINTS #1: When Bigfoot discovers his brother brutally murdered, he assembles his old detection team to unravel a conspiracy that spans decades. FOOTPRINTS is a creator-owned comic about a cast of cryptozoological deviants placed inside a noir setting. It’s a fun trip through a unique modern setting that will appeal to fans of noir, comedy, and huge freaking sharks.

We’ve gotten some good buzz thus far:

“A fiercely smart and wildly inventive take on the classic noir, FOOTPRINTS is everything you could want in a comic. Part Raymond Chandler, part Weekly World News, and part some brand new twisted voodoo ingredient cooked up by the frighteningly talented Joey Esposito and Jonathan Moore, this book is one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve come across in a long time!” – Scott Snyder (Detective Comics, American Vampire)

“FOOTPRINTS lead the way to murder and bedlam!  Every clue drags you deeper to a mystery begging to be solved.” – Johnny Zito (Black Cherry Bombshells, Lamorte Sisters)

“FOOTPRINTS is an odd and welcome blend of adventure, horror, comedy, and mystery. Hilarious one moment, and sincerely gut wrenching the next, it brings a refreshing voice to comics.  Can’t wait for the next issue.” – John Arcudi (B.P.R.D., A God Somewhere)
