MAS BRINGS IN NEW ARTIST FOR UPCOMING, END OF SUMMER RELEASE!

In MAS five year history, there has been a wide assortment of new, impactful artist to come through its doors. From Anibal Arroyo's groundbreaking work on the MAS flagship title, “Street Journal,” to Benjamin Keller-Niemen’s preview pages for this upcoming Summers, Action, Hero release, “Lords Of Nevada(Lon);” MAS has been lucky enough to work with some of the independent world's best upcoming creators, but none has raised the bar higher than the work of Luca Cicchitti; a talented artist whose work is now opening up our new Anthology book, “Hot Tales: Bad Asses,” also scheduled for the End of the Summer release. This book consist of eight stories, highlighting tough, kick butt Heroines; but the book is not the only  thing under the spotlight. In this editorial piece, Luca is the guest of honor!

But to find him, MAS had to do something different.  For such professional talent that will knock you out of your seat, we had to look outside of the United States (at least on this project) as far west as Luciano, Italy to find him. Interestingly enough, we first found out about him through the Facebook chat. Luca saw our work and quickly inquired into whether we we're looking for an artist right at the time "Hot Tale: Bad Asses" was in conception. Now, this is a professional artist who have done work for various publications in Italy; so he is no stranger to the field; but how would that translate to an American, comic  audeince where dynamic art and fast action, fixes are the adrenaline shot of the  gendra! Answer: incredibly well!

The beauty in his art is that, each panel tells a story and although, traditional in nature, it’s clean, free flowing style makes it easy for the reader to get immediately swept away into the world, he has created with each image.

“Hot tales: Bad Asses,” at the least is a daring action ride from start to finish, creating classic characters, but what I think will happen,  it will showcase a classic artist in Luca Cicchitti. The miracle of it is, MAS was fortunate enough to be one of the independent companies working with him!

So keep an eye out for this artist and look for “Hot tales: Bad Asses,” sold at the MAS Booth debuted at the upcoming NY Comic Convention on October 11-14th. In the meantime, here is some art from “Hot Tales: Bad Asses,” courtesy of Luca Cicchitti.

MAS CHARGES INTO DAY #4

MAS Charges forward for a final day #4

And here we are, day four at The 2011, New York Comic Convention and, what is, the final sales and networking push for our Independent Comic Creators. Sure, we managed to inch in a bit of fun here and there. We took a picture with Optimus, Styled in Bumble Bee and caught a camera shot with Cat Girl(Anibal, you are right. I definitely had to get closer...Holla;)

(To see what i'm talking about, go to the Masmediastudios Facebook to see the pic!)

But the three man team at MAS were well aware that the opening bell was closing in and the rush would begin, so, we raced back to our table and prepare ourselves for the oncoming rush, and boy, did it come!

Within minutes, it looked like a Saturday! The convention packed in and soon, the sales push was on, but one thing became crystal clear. One of MAS'S unsung heros would raise from the ashes yet again. Yep, you guessed it; It's ours Futuristic, butt kicking bad butt(I know...that'a alot of butts in the same sentence, but we can't say the other word. Sorry, this is a family title)leading the sales charge for a second day in a row. True, MAS was on deck, still, it was Russ 5377 that was the headliner, captivating the audience and leading sales and with the final issue right around the corner for release, I dear to say that this rear(didn't say butt, ha, ha) stomper of evil doers is going to become one of Independent Comics greatest Hero's!

But don't forget about the Street Journal Graphic Novel either. Sales did continue for our Young, inner-city writer, Tyreke, as more Street Journal Graphic Novels continued to move. With a brand new cover for the first Graphic Novel, along with the development and launch of the final three stories, that will be compiled into the second Graphic Novel, we anticipate a true Indepedeant Classic!

So, what will become of MAS? Well, we can't let any more secrets out. You have to keep coming back for further developments, but what ever it is, it will be ground breaking!

Also, MAS would like to thank everyone at The New York Comic Con for having us yet another year and supporting us and, on behalf of Jonathan Syphax, Anibal Arroyo and Jorge Medina, we would like to say Thank you. We can't wait until next year, and in addition, we would like to thank, you, the fans, for your continued support and love. We are blessed to have it. Until next time, keep tuned in and to all you New York Convention heads, we'll see ya next year.

MAS Convention Re-cap: Day #3

Day #3

And the race was on!
But this time MAS wasn't the only Independent with new or revamped projects on the table. Right next to us, sharing our table was the dynamic creative dueo, Robert Nunez and his wife and partner in crime, Isibeel Nunez, pushing his new creator ownend title that was debute at the con, Hybridborn! The turn out for the day was overwhelming but there was a surprise. It was not the new graphic novel that rose from the independent ashes(at least not immediately)but Hybridborn, which had went strong for the full three days thus far and, to MAS surprise, yep, you guessed it, our fighting mad hero, Russ! That's right our fearless friend was selling out hands over fist!
The stunning visuals and high action, panel layouts made true believers(sorry Marvel, but the catch phrase is too good to leave out) of any would be fans. Issue after issue sold out like glass rings at a wedding party!
Then again, Russ has an edge as a full color title that promises all five book which are all presently available for purchase and the final climatic Final Issue(#6) a breath away from completion. It was well into three hours before the first sales spark for the "Street Journal"Graphic Novel was set. Overall, the Graphic Novel did do very well and brought in new fans, but it was Hybridborn and Russ that stole the show!

So, it was off to day four and who knew what that entailed. Either way, our trusty Independent crew, tired but amped was set and ready for one final dance under the Convention lights.

Day 2: MAS DROPS A HUGE SURPRISE ON THE INDEPENDENT COMIC WORLD!

"Street Journal Graphic Novel: Vol#1".

Now that is huge! Loaded with extras, including reference to script to Art comparisons, five hot full page sketches, character development notes and histories; MAS builds a Graphic Novel rivaled by few books of its genre that had came before it, but there was a huge challenge to overcome..

How does MAS market and sell the Graphic Novel to its already established audience, especially on a day where most attendees are more spectators than potential consumers? Well, the first part of the question is simple enough, give them a experience that stays far beyond the interaction itself? Do something creative with the experiecnce, maybe even alittle zany. Let's face it, this is not a suit and tie world when it comes to a Comic Convention floor and thank God for that. The costumes would't be half as creative. Indepedent work would not be half as fresh or original and, most importantly, Cat Women costumes as well as Supermans would not be as eye popping! With all that great stuff, who wants normalcy? I'd rather take a purring Cat Women any day and twice on Sunday!

So, what was the ultimate verdict of the day; New "Street Journal Graphic Novel," strong comic connection and some wild costumed attendees and great fans! That makes for a wining friday, a forward trust into Satuday and a wild ride for Sunday!

Either way, I'd check in to see what's next, because virtually anything could happen at the Masmediastudios booth!

It's Here! Day #1 @ The New York Comic Convention 2011!

Anticipation was high as many great connections were made by the MAS Media Studios Crew; who was shooting the breeze with other Indy's in the field, including Keith Murphy, but before we realized it, the Celebration had begun!

Immediately, the flow of fans was constant. From the first customer both Robert Nunez and MAS Media Studios began selling their products, and selling them and, yep, you guessed it, selling them, and before they knew it, what became one sale boomed into a constant wave of fan support, but that wasn't it. There was a bigger surprise... the mother load of MAS developments via overnight express. You guessed it, its....sorry, can't tell this one folks but the surprise will be revealed tomorrow at the booth, along with a lot of great games, prizes and videos and picture images for those of you, the fans to enjoy along with those of you who could not make this gala event.
