News and Appearances

A.D. August 2010

We are in the dead of a hot summer here in Georgia! And with the advent of summer, I was able to attend Heroes Con last June and meet some really amazing people. Special thanks to the young artist that I got to meet by the name of Jeremy who drew his version of Ms. Johnni. You can catch a look at his work in the newly uploaded pics in the photos section.

During my stay there, I got a chance to have a brief chat with comic book writer Brian Pulido. Those of you who read the Ms. Johnni preview issue know that the last chat we had about six years ago was…humbling to say the least. This time, he made the statement that the copy of Ms. Johnni preview that I sent him was “very good”. Yes, yes, y’all!

And yes, I did get the opportunity to finally meet our resident artist, Rebecca, in North Carolina as well! (When she was in school in Savannah,I never got a chance to go down there). Such a cool girl, I must say. She and I got to meet some nice people at the con and she made some good contacts all on her own and she took a nice photo with Captain Jack Sparrow.

We have been recognized by a book review site based here in Atlanta! You can see what The Sistah Circle Book Club had to say about us at this site. For those who missed our pullbox.com review, check it out here.

Finally, for the big news, thanks for all the inquiries and we are finally in production on Ms. Johnni issue 2! The first issue has been so well received and we are anxious to get this new one done. Oh yeah, did I mention that we plan to do it in color ;)? The target date to be done is somewhere around late fall (Hey, we have day jobs, people. Indy comics ain’t easy).

Thanks, and once again, may Jah bless you all.

A.D. March 2010

“You like me, you really like me!”

Ok, I’m quoting Sally Field and not quoting her exactly right, but you get the gist.

Mega Con 2010 is now a rap and what an experience. Ms Johnni #1 is now officially out and debuted at the Orlando show. The reception is quite good as people are coming to me and saying that they like it and asking when the next issue is due. We are aiming to get started on it sometime in June after Rebecca is done with school.

We have also received a favorable review on the first issue from Patti Martinson over at sequentialtart.com. Take a look at what she had to say about the first issue here. Keep in mind that there are some spoilers in her review, so if you don't want to know what happens, don't read her review!

Let me take time to shout out to David Rivera, professional inker from Florida , who does some really good work, Top Cow among his clients. Check out his page on my links page and I am sure that you will agree. I also met talented Florida writer and artist, Shaun Ward. Shaun was a busy man who managed to land a job at Marvel comics while down there. Take some time out to check out his page that I have linked as well. Congrats Shaun!

The next stop is now Heroes Con in June and I’m looking forward to seeing those incredible folks in North Carolina again.

May Jah bless you all.

A.D. Dec. 2009

With the dawn of a new year on the horizon, Jericho Projects has undergone some challenges. Nothing worthwhile comes without growing pains and we are no exception. With that in mind, I am very pleased to announce that we have a new penciler, Rebecca Fedun. Rebecca is a student at the Savannah School of Art and Design and she will be lending her amazing talents to the first issue of Ms Johnni due in March 2010.

Along with Rebecca, the cover of the first issue is penciled by Javier Lugo, the artist of Frank Ng, a top selling book on www.comixpress.com. As an added bonus, Javier’s pencils are inked by non other than the legendary Joe Rubinstein! Joe has numerous works to his credit with DC, Marvel and Dark Horse including, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Superman and a book that you might have heard of called the Uncanny X-Men…;)

We at Jericho Projects are honored and thankful for everyone who is helping with our book. This year looks to be adventurous and exciting!

May Jah Bless you all,

Adrian “Asia” Petty
