Things are moving forward at a good pace and we have some great things in the works. Check out some of the things the Section 8 family is up to.  

On the Web:

@ The 8 Spot

Strip creators Wilson Ramos-Jr. and Eric Rivera have been discussing putting a collection of strips together to see if it can be collected in a book.  If things continue at the pace they have been going we might have a book for the New York comic con or at least a mock up.

A Work In Progress

Response to the strip has been very favorable and the art team has been trying different things with both coloring and gradients.  The current storyline will be leading into the video game realm

The Mark!

The Mark! was born out of the bullpen messing around and has turned into one of the funniest things we have put together. The Mark! will be a series of 10 page short comics that will be a backup to our regular title. We will soon have an online short.  above is some sample art from A Work in Progress artist JP Cheatham with inks by the Wombat and colors by Wilson Ramos-Jr.

Gaido-Xin

Gaido-Xin is still just in the pencils stage but what amazing pencils we have gotten so far.  Penciler Nadir Balan has turned the Rivera brothers script into an amazing visual feast.

The Hook Up

We are still looking for an artist for this strip. The premise is about a group of friends trying to figure out the difference between getting laid and finding love.  Hopefully soon we will see strips on the web.

The Wombat

Wilson Ramos-Jr. had created a goofy character named the Wombat based on a high school nickname he had.  It was never intended to be a serious book but after much discussion we have decided to see if there might be something here for a limited run web comic.  Still in the writing stage but initial concepts has been established and now it’s time to crank out a script.

Unnamed Anthology Project

Writer J.B. Eissac has been given a shot at writing the first story spotlighting Sunray.  Eric Rivera will have the back up story a 3rd story may be added based on available space.
