TWEETS
STORY

Joe Somiano risked it all by dropping out of college to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler, much to the disapproval of his father. King Crown Jr. is a second-generation pro-wrestler, and current Heavyweight Champion of Super Pro. K.O.!, that drinks more than he trains. Will Joe ever get a shot at wearing the SPKO Title? And will King Crown Jr. stay focused enough to defend the Championship  at any costs?

SPKO: Gold for Glory Is Out Now!

So Super Pro K.O.!: Gold for Glory is out nationwide now! Be sure to grab a copy in your local comic shop or bookstore. I'm extremely proud of this book and I'm really happy to see it being received so well by readers online. I also recently came back from the American Library Association Conference in Orlando to help promote awareness of the series to librarians. I had a blast so if you're one of the librarians I met, thanks for stopping by my table and checking out my comics!

Newsarama recently gave SPKO:Gold for Glory a "10-out-of-10" rating! 

That feels great! Charlie Chu (my editor at Oni Press) and I went through around 12 drafts/revisions for the script. It was a lot of work...much of it stressful. However, it's cool to be on the other end of the process and see out on stands. I recently signed copies at Savannah Comics and Planet Fun if you happen to be in Savannah, GA. I'm in the process of getting more comp books from publisher. Once I have received those, I'll use PayPal to begin coordinating mailing copies to those who'd like a signed copy as well. 

Also, I recommend checking out the fun extras at the end of this volume. I actually had more extras planned but the page count was getting a little up there in size already. Ha!

You can purchase copies of SPKO: Gold for Glory here:

You can also purchase it in digital form on Comixology here:

Thanks for the support! I'm currently wrapping up Hyper Force Neo vol. 1 now so I'm off to finish that book next! It will be on stands February 2017.

Sincerely,

Jarrett Williams

SPKO: Gold for Glory Announcement!

I'm so happy right now!

Check out the Press Release for SPKO: Gold for Glory over on Comic Bastards. You'll be able to buy digital chapters starting on April 26th! The full collected volume will be available for print on June 29th!.

Spoiler Alert! I recommend reading the press release up until the preview of Chapter 2. Stop there. It'll make the pay-off more satisfactory. Trust me :D

And I'm glad you'll be able to get the "SPKO 3 fix" sooner than later! XD

You can also view this video on WSAV here.

I want to thank Courtney Cole and WSAV for taking the time to feature my work on the news here in Georgia. I can't wait to see how readers react to Hyper Force Neo when it debuts on April 20th! I'm actually totally humbled tonight. Only a few more days until it's on shelves.

Sincerely,

Jarrett

Hyper Force Neo Logo!

Check out my official logo for Hyper Force Neo designed by Keith Wood! Thanks for giving me that Saturday Morning Cartoon flavor. Keith is really an awesome designer.

 

Keith also designed the Super Pro K.O. logo so it was great getting to work with him on another logo for a new comic years later. We have a few color variations too so look out for that on subsequent Hyper Force Neo covers. I was inspired by Goosebumps a bit in that area :D I also provided Keith with one of my promo illustrations below as reference so it's pretty spot on.

Sincerely,

Jarrett

A Few Podcast Interviews

I've been doing more podcast reviews these days to promote Hyper Force Neo. Check out two of my favorites below with The Black Geeks & Black Girl Nerds. I recorded both within 24 hours of each other which was a first for me.

The Black Geeks

Black Girl Nerds #65

I had a lot of fun talking about some of my influences and even shared a few childhood stories on both shows.

Enjoy!
