Martin Montiel to Draw Son Chasers Two Issue Mini-Series

World War II ended with the death of Hitler and his wife Eva Braun. This is how history was written, but it is wrong. Eva escaped, carrying Adolf Hitler’s child. Eva gave birth to a son in South America named Heinrich (Henry) Hitler. Son Chasers is the story of this man and the hunt to find him, to eradicate the Hitler bloodline from our world. The problem? Henry is not his father. He is a good person and he’s on a mission to redeem his name.

Son Chasers is the brain-child of Ben Ferrari and Buck Weiss. Ferrari has been making comics both as a fan and as an assistant editor for Extreme Studios for many years and started the imprint Earthbound Comics with Matt Grant in 2009.

Earthbound Comics has been blessed with the talents of Martin Montiel (The Victorian, Darkness, Magdalena/Vampirella)for this project. He has produced an 8 page sample (seen on the Kickstarter site) and a cover (attached below). Montiel’s art adds a gritty violence and realness to Weiss and Ferrari’s story of espionage and redemption.

The first storyline is comprised of two issues (53 pages). Earthbound Comics is raising money through Kickstarter.com to produce and publish two issues including individual covers and re-interpretations of World War II propaganda posters.

95% of the money will go to pay the artist, inker, and colorist that we believe are worth their weight in gold. The rest will be put toward the actual printing of the books.

This comic will be an action-packed thrill ride and Backers can be a part of it. We have a great incentive program that gives anyone who would like to help a chance to pre-order the book, get signed copies, cover posters, thank you mentions, and original art. Buck, Ben, and Martin have also agreed to make one contributor the President of the United States. Their name and image will appear in the book itself.

Now, onto the full notice!

Hello there Earthbound Comics fans! I know it’s been a while, but con season is now upon us, and we’ve geared up with plenty of new books and two (count ‘em) TWO big con appearances coming right. That’s right, we’ll be at Orlando’s MegaCon on the east side of the country in March, and then at San Francisco’s WonderCon on west in April. Right now, though, we want to get you especially pumped about… MEGACON!

What: MEGACON (of course!)

When: March 12th – 14th, 2010

Where: Orange County Convention Center Hall D
9899 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819

Why: Cause Earthbound Comics is gonna be there, that’s why! Be sure to look for us at table RED 4 in the Independent Press section! The Sensational Sebastian Piccione will be on hand to take care of all your Earthbound Comics needs.

But what would an Earthbound Comics convention appearance be without some world premier Earthbound Comics? Well, admittedly, it would still be pretty cool, in my opinion– but just in case, we’re throwing out two brand spankin’ new books that you should be excited about:

LADY FIGHT: AGGRESSION

In the latest issue of the Lady Fight Anthology, Sebastian Piccione & Mike Dreher’s CAT. 5 faces the swashbuckling supernatural off Florida’s Gold Coast; Matt Grant’s EXPLOSION PROOF has a hot time, with hot cars, in the hot sun; and Ben Ferrari & Mike Luoma’s SOUVERAIN continues her assault on the Warlord hierarchy of Afghanistan Cover by Rob Nix. 24 pages. B/W. $3.00

MASTORISM VOL. 1

Collecting the first six issues of Matt Grant’s award winning sci-fi space opera epic, Mastorism is a tale of chaos, order, tyranny, intrigue, and sibling rivalry. This massive collection features brand new, never before seen chapter lead in artwork, and an introduction by original co-creator Jeff Blanchard. Cover colors by Norman Wong.
156 pages. B/W. $10.00

We’ll have plenty of other books in tow, as well, including both previous issues of Lady Fight (each $3.00), as well as Ben Ferrari’s Sleepbringer original graphic novel ($10.00). This is the first time any of these books will be available at a con outside of California, so if you’re heading to MegaCon, definitely swing by and check us out!

And of course, all of the comics mentioned will be available at IndyPlanet.com. Just go there and search EARTHBOUND!

If you’re curious about what we’re doing for WonderCon, stay tuned! We’ll giving you the low down on that con before you know it… but I promise you: MORE comics and MORE premiers! Can it get better than that?
