Everything is better with friends. That’s a universal absolute.
And there’s nothing like making new friends. Like Jon Ellis. Jon wrote a comic book mini series called Fraternity and apparently he’s friends with a lot of our friends so we’re hosting a signing called Jon Ellis & Friends! Cuz we’re all friends. And friends are the BEST!
About Fraternity:
Wyatt's roommate has been acting strange ever since he joined that frat...
After suffering a tragic loss, Wyatt can't wait for a fresh start away at college. Too bad freshman year isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when you're a grieving introvert. If it weren't for his best friend, Jake, Wyatt would never leave his room. But when Jake joins a mysterious fraternity, Wyatt unearths something sinister. Now Wyatt must fight to save his friend or risk losing him to Amaymon, King of the Southern Gate!
Joining Jon for this all-star event is Scott Bryan Wilson - writer extraordinaire behind a variety of comics like Pennyworth from DC Comics and Savage Tales from Dynamite but most notably his recent series with rockstar artist Liana Kangas called Trve Kvlt.
About Trve Kvlt:
Marty Tarantella has been flipping burgers for 15 years. He has no kids, no hobbies, no love interests, and, essentially, no life. But what he does have is a plan to change everything. Years of watching the daily rhythms of the neighboring stores has given Marty the idea for a perfect heist, but when he accidentally steals a supernatural weapon from a cult full of violent lunatics, the resulting Satanic panic will be way above his minimum-wage pay grade. Nothing can prepare you for the coming of Trve Kvlt, a deliciously horrifying and hilarious new series!
Then we’ve got local legend Rich Douek joining the fray. Rich has left his mark with books like Road of Bones, Sea of Sorrows, DC’s Superman Red & Blue, TMNT Universe, Magic the Gathering comics and so many more! Now, he’s recently released Breath of Shadows from IDW.
About Breath of Shadows:
It's the mid-1960s, and Jimmy Meadows should be on top of the world. His band's most recent album just went gold, and they're riding a wave to international fame. But Jimmy is driven by only one thing: where to get his next fix. With his band at the end of their ropes and his life falling apart, Jimmy thinks he may be finished, until a friend tells him about a controversial method deep in the jungles of South America that can help him kick his addiction for good. But is clean living actually in Jimmy's future, or will he instead unleash horrors beyond his wildest nightmares? A new expedition into the heart of horror from Rich Douek and Alex Cormack, the team behind Road of Bones and Sea of Sorrows!
And finally, rounding out this amazing quartet of comic writers is Chris Condon with his now-legendary series from Image Comics called That Texas Blood featuring Jacob Phillips (son of Sean Phillips of Brubaker/Phillips fame) with 3 full volumes out so far with more to come.
About That Texas Blood:
Sheriff Joe Bob Coates questions his effectiveness as the aging lawman of Ambrose County, Texas as chaos descends following an explosive highway confrontation and the mysterious death of local rogue Travis Terrill. Michael Lark (LAZARUS, Daredevil) calls the series "The best damn comic I've read in years."
