MAS Brings You the Goods!

October 8th! That date rings like Christmas bells to every fan boy in the land cause they know that the New York Comic Con is coming to town! Now I wouldn't call myself a "fan boy", not by true fan boy standards (*See Jonathan Syphax for true fan boy standards) but I too am excited for the show! My reasons are a bit different however... you see I, as well as my MAS Media brothers, will be taken part in the show not as attendees but as exhibitors and we have a lot of goodies for all ya'll! True this is not our first time as exhibitors at the show, but doesn't every time feel like the first? Maybe it's just me.

First up folks, I am proud to announce that our title Russ5377 will be available at the show and not just the first issue... no, no, no! We have been hard at work and promise to have issues 1-4 available for sale! Now I know in an earlier post I mentioned we would have 5 out of the 6 issues, but due to uncontrollable circumstances (finances: gotta keep it real), we will have 4 out of the 6, which isn't bad. Still, the series will be complete very soon and issues 5 and 6 will definitely see the light of day!

Also my friends and fans of Russ... a bit of news to you will be a change in the logo of the Russ title! "What change?" you ask... you better make it to the Javitz Center in a few weeks and find out!

And now, in Street Journal News... our flagship title gets one issue older! The six part mini series continues as MAS brings you Street Journal #3! The urban drama you all love continues to get hot in this new installment brought to you by the talented Mr. Anibal Arroyo and the very capable story telling prowess of one Jonathan Syphax! The cover is colored by our good friend and very gifted artist, Mr. Victor Claudio! Don't miss out on issue 3 and if you didn't get a chance to pick up the first two issues, what are you waiting for? Luckily, we will have those available for sale as well.

Tee shirts for both titles will also be available as well as other surprises and cool giveaways! See you guys at booth 430 the weekend of October 8th! Mark it on your calendars boys and girls, cause Christmas comes to NYC early this year!

See you there!
I'm out!
Medinamus!

Update! Anibal takes on Pin-up Art!

If you have heard of MAS, then it’s a sure-fire bet that somewhere, amongst the wild world of independent comics, you heard of Anibal Arroyo, (the artist of the well-received urban drama, “Street Journal,”). What you might not have known is that this low key creative force, has, in his visual bag of tricks, the makings of a great pin-up artist as well (Sorry Anibal, old boy, but I had to let the secret out of the bag. You’re just goanna have to suck it up and deal with the independent stardom that comes with it. Look at it this way; at least you already got the shades and the hat).

In fact, he is currently in the process of completing a piece, fully penciled and inked for the upcoming NY Comic Con(sorry, I can’t say who or what the sketch is. You just have to come to the Con and stop by booth #430 for the answer to that).

What I can tell you is I snuck a peek at the end stages of development, and it is a dusey! For those few disbelievers, check out his previous art. Think of this way, if his past work is any inclination of what is in store at the show, then get ready, because it is going to blow the roof off the place!
