Translucid #2 gets “Best Comic Book Covers Ever (This Month)” for May

Two guys fighting. What could be a more pedestrian concept for a comic book cover? (Well, five or six or seven guys just standing there; but I digress.) All praise to Jeff Stokely, then, for putting a new spin on the idea through both the color and composition of this playing card-inspired cover. – Comics Alliance

Translucid Issue Two In Stores Today. 4/5 on CBR.

Issue 2 of Translucid is in stores today as well as available on our webstore! If your comic book shop didn’t receive it, give them Diamond Code MAR140959 to order you a copy!

This issue goes farther down the rabbit hole, straight into The Navigator’s dark past. What happened to a young dreamer that made him the hero he is now? No one is more curious than his arch-nemesis, The Horse.

Missed issue 1? Not to worry. Here’s what CBR had to say about issue 2:

 “Translucid” #2 is a remarkably gripping issue, even for those who might have missed #1″ – CBR

WonderCon 2014: Interview with ComicVine

We had the pleasure of catching up with ComicVine this past weekend at WonderCon. We talk Translucid #1 and tease a bit of issue two as well! Check out more here.

Translucid #1 In Stores Now. Perfect 10 Reviews from All-Comic and Comic Vine.

It’s been a long wait, but the day is finally here: our new series Translucid is officially here and issue one is in stores now! If you missed out on having your comic book shop order you a copy, give them Diamond Code FEB141037 to place their order.

Translucid is the superhero story you want but never thought you’d see. A story of childhood hope and loss as much as it is about the meaning of heroism, and what defines a hero and a villain. The Horse has been the archenemy of The Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator’s moral compass has been slipping, and even a villain can’t let that happen. The Horse decides to get a closer look into The Navigator’s past that he’s buried deep in his subconsciousness and find out what drives a person to make the right choice, and what propels someone to make the selfish one. Thus begins an exploration of why a young man would take the mantle of a superhero.

So far, issue one is getting rave reviews, including perfect 10 scores from All-Comic and Comic Vine!

“If Translucid isn’t on your pull-list or even on your radar you may want to do yourself a favor and pick up this debut issue, because it’s going to be one of those series that everyone is will be talking about.” – All-Comic

“It’s giving me a great deal to think about vis-a-vis how heroes and villains engage with each other in our beloved sequential medium, and the spotlight on “the neverending battle” makes for a brilliant discussion topic (make your friends read this book!) and a dramatic tango of a script. Vibrant colors and dynamic panels make for a visually-enticing book, and I’m already caught up in the chess match between The Horse and The Navigator.” – Comic Vine

We hope you enjoy the new series and look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Con appearances this year! Thanks for all your support!

THE AMORY WARS: FALL OF THE KEYWORK APP OUT NOW

The Amory Wars: Fall of the Keywork is a fighting game, developed by Sanchez’s Evil Ink Comics, in conjunction with Southern California’s Man Vs. Games, that allows fans to travel around “the Keywork” to fight as and against 10 of the most popular characters in the “The Amory Wars” mythos, including Coheed Kilgannon, Wilhelm Ryan and Al the Killer.  Players will face-off in a variety of battlegrounds including beloved and never-before-seen storied locales Apity Prime, the Faint of Hearts bar, and Hohenberger’s Lab. The game also features a new mechanic for fighting games, The Swipe Button. The new, high-tech feature will allow players to focus on execution and timing by moving the button in one of four directions. Players can now throw away the old, often frustrating combo memorization mechanics for this new mobile platform. Watch the trailer HERE.

The game is available for iPhone and iPad from the App Store

Hi everyone,

We are back from the flurry of events at New York Comic Con and still reeling from the number of you who came to support Evil Ink, as well as the new Coheed and Cambria album release, The Afterman.  It was our most successful signing weekend of any convention and we had an absolute blast!  If you couldn’t make it this year, hopefully we will be seeing you at another convention this year–so far we plan on having a presence at Chicago’s C2E2 in April and San Diego Comic Con this Summer–or a Coheed show where a lot of Evil Ink merchandise will be readily available.  In the meantime, you can see pics from the NYCC festivities at the following link, courtesy of Andy Menarchek.

Wahlberg and Leverage to Produce The Amory Wars

July 14, 2012–Kicking off two days of autograph signings at San Diego Comic-Con, Claudio Sanchez and Evil Ink Comics announced today that they have partnered with Stephen Levinson’s Leverage (Boardwalk Empire, Entourage, Contraband) and Mark Wahlberg to develop their graphic novel series The Amory Wars into a live-action feature film. The Amory Wars, a sci-fi saga published by Boom! Studios, recently reached #4 on the New York Times Bestseller List for graphic books.

Sanchez, the lead singer of progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria, originally created the story to serve as inspiration for the group’s albums. He later expanded the mythology to other mediums, including comic books and graphic novels. In 2010, Sanchez collaborated with luminary genre writer Peter David (The Incredible Hulk, Aquaman) to write a full-length prose novel, Year of the Black Rainbow, which told the origin story of the series, and was released with the band’s album of the same name.

The Amory Wars is an epic fantasy set in a futuristic alternate universe. The series chronicles the rise of superhuman dictator Wilhelm Ryan, and the one family that could hold the key to liberating the world from his tyrannical reign.

Coheed and Cambria are set to release a new studio album this fall. Their North American tour with Iron Maiden begins July 24th.

Sanchez will be signing the NY Times Best Seller at San Diego Comic Con International this weekend at 4pm on Saturday at the Evil Ink booth, #1031
