The Veil

Reviews are very important for us, as you can see if you take a look on the blog. Hey, a review means that someone tried to read the book! It helps us to improve, it means that someone give us their precious time to write what they think about our work.

But we’re particularly happy with the review that Jill the Nerdy Bird did on The Veil. The Girls Entertainment Network (GEN), is an incredible site where all kinds of entertainment -say comics, books, films, videogames and all our freaky stuff- are analyzed and reviewed by girls. This feminine point of view gives a fresh look on our kinkiness hobbies, so full of testosterone.

And for us, is important because the main character in The Veil is a girl, and to give her a realistic air was one of our main concerns. It seems it passed the test.

Link to the review, here. Thanks, Jill!

Two more great reviews, this time…

Greg McEllhaton, in Read About Comics -a great site, by the way.  The Veil is waiting for you in issue #2, amigo!

Doktor Mostro, at Kopodo, reviews issue #1 too. This excellent site and the review are written in spanish.

And now, let’s talk about Frank. For those of you who haven’t read the first issue yet (what are you waiting for?), he’s the deputy sheriff who meets Chris Luna at Crooksville, and will play a main role in the miniseries.  Gaby and me depicted Frank as a friendly, big guy. It was OK, but still something looked odd. Violeta, illustrious Gaby’s wife, nailed it. “Chris never, never, never would date a guy like that.”

“But we wanted a normal guy, you know. We don’t want a muscle-hero-type… this is a horror book”, we tried to reply.

“The true horror would be to keep that character design”, she said.

So we keep the personality, Gaby changed the design. Anyway, I liked that chubby guy with goatee. So here it is, the original page where Fatso Frank appears and tries to hook up with Chris Luna.

Frank, O Frank, where art thou?

We’re getting a lot of  cool reviews of The Veil #1. It’s hard to live in front of the computer hitting “reload” every five minutes to see if someone wrote something about our book… but we do it gladly. Man, we’re hooked on this.

Thank you very much everybody, thank you. Not only for the reviews, but for reading the book.  Because that means someone read it after all!  Seriously, after all this work, we’re very happy with the feedback.

Some reviews The Veil received:

Marlowe Lewis in Major Spoilers. An intensive analysis and the first one we read!

Jay Tomio was true on his word and wrote a really intensive analysis about The Veil in BSC. And we believe he nailed it.

Greg Burgas, Comics Should Be Good, CBR… another review! Just look at the end of the post.

Akamuu at Ifanboy liked it too… phew! When we started to read it, we feared the worse.

Guys at Comic Pants reviewed it too. Just one note, Gaby (Gabriel) Hernandez it’s not the same artist that Gabriel Rodriguez. But hey, both are Gabriel, similar surname and both work at IDW.

Thank you very much everyone. Really.

And here goes the design of Mrs. Grabowski. Four panels of pure horror!

Some The Veil previews are appearing here and there,  so if you wanted more… here are some links!

IDW preview by our Lord and Master Chris Ryall.

The Veil in the New Yorker! And it seems that Andrea Walker liked it!

Friends at BSC have another preview. Because they said it!

And in ComiXology too…
