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.

Kickstarter Goal: The Week of 3/14/11

I just want to give a special thanks to everybody that’s backed Footprints in our Kickstarter Campaign so far. Some are friends, some are family, some are colleagues, and some are strangers, but all are now  a part of something extremely special and we love you for it. We managed to break $1000 in our first week, so we’re setting a new goal. We want to be at $1750 by next Monday! You can help make it happen by spreading the word!

You’ve seen all the great incentives we’re offering, but more importantly, you’re giving two struggling creators the means to do what they love for a living. We genuinely thank you for this first week of crowd-funding. Don’t forget, if you’re at C2E2 this coming weekend, find us at Artist’s Alley Table M4! We’ll have Footprints #1 and the Footprints Standard 11 x 17  Art Print for sale!

Footprints Standard 11 x 17 Art Print

Here it is folks! This is the standard Footprints art print, totally gorgeous and of course, completely awesome. This is the art print that comes with the $25 pledge level in our Kickstarter Campaign, and will also be available for sale at this very blog (soon) and at any conventions you might see us at, including C2E2 this weekend!

As you probably realize, this is our Page 9 title page, colored and lettered up nicely by Jonathan and Adam, respectively. And yes, this is available at the $25 pledge level, which also includes signed versions of issues #1-4 in print, electronic copies, and a special mention in the “Thank You” section of the trade paperback.

The Future is Now!

Behold! The first printed copies of Footprints #1 have arrived today, and they look great! If you haven’t already, you can order your copy by Pre-Ordering to the left of this page (yes, where it says ‘donate’), or better yet, contributing to our Kickstarter Campaign!

And of course, if you’re headed to C2E2 this year, you can grab your copy at Artist’s Alley Table M4.
