NYCC 2014 Recap

New York Comic Con has once again come and gone. What a weekend it was with over 150,000 people attending over the four days. Blimp was fortunate enough to be there amidst the chaos and at times added to it.

Our free giveaways were gone within a matter of minutes every time we handed them out, no matter which day of the con. The amount of people walking through out the Javits Center was insane. There were times on Friday and Saturday where the concourse between Javits North (Artist Alley) and the main show floor was shoulder to shoulder full of people. So, in an attempt to reach even more people we also slipped cards in some lucky attendees "The Block" Programs.

After spending a couple days recovering from the chaos we are ready to make the big announcement we promised you. This winter our beloved Landlord will return in Seize the Day. Details on this all new three part series will come as we get closer.

Until then, check out our Instagram and Twitter for more pictures from NYCC 14' and updates on this and more.

Update: Landlord 'Holiday' Release

Since our return back in October, we’ve been telling you guys about the next step for our beloved Landlord. We’ve given you the title of his next adventure and several glimpses of parts I and II, but today we are proud to announce the release dates for all three parts of Holiday. The Landlord will return this April with part I scheduled to drop on April 20, 2014. Parts II and III will then follow on a weekly basis, concluding the first week of May. Thank you all for your continued support, especially those of you who shared what you received in our free giveaway. If you did not participate in our first giveaway back in December, don’t worry we will be having another one soon except this time one of the perks will be an early release of Holiday for those who participate. So stay tuned to our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for updates.

For more details on Holiday check out our first creator update here.

Creator Update: 1.1

As this weekend comes to an end, I can't help but look back on all the craziness of the past couple weeks. Blimp officially came back, New York Comic Con 2013 came and went, Blimp's artist search was announced, and the Landlord is returning!

Through all this craziness I feel the need to give everyone a little update on the universe and what we know thus far. In Collection Day we are introduced to Mick, a landlord in a run down area of a city that he sees as "dirty in more ways than one." A city that is rotting from the inside not because of fear or terror, but hopelessness. Through out the three pages we see how Mick addresses a common issue in his building, rent. His black and white view of the world makes him stubborn and what some might call a little extreme at times, but he doesn't want to fall into the same trap the rest of the city has. This refusal to give in takes him to a dark place in Collection Day and we are excited to continue his journey through this gray city.

In Holiday we will dive further into Mick's world and see a different side of our gritty and mysterious landlord. This three part series will pick up where we left off in Collection Day and show more of the city and its inhabitants. News of its exact release will be announced in the coming weeks!

Finally, I would just like to thank everyone for the support. Here at Blimp we are excited about where we are going, but these past few weeks have shown us that we are not the only ones. So thanks again to those of you who visit us daily or like/share our posts on Facebook/Twitter.  You guys make what we do a lot easier and we greatly appreciate that.

Every so often we will have these "creator updates" just to give you guys a recap of what's going on in the Blimp universe. As always keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for regular updates and check back here at the blog for the big news.

The Landlord Returns

Continuing with the excitement of today, Blimp is proud to announce a new tale in the life of Mick Matthews. Our landlord returns in Holiday, a three part series that follows the harsh and mysterious  events of Collection Day. More on this coming soon so follow us on twitter and check back here for the latest announcements. Whoops, almost forgot...

2013: Blimp Returns...again.

Well, we are back….again. This is getting redundant I know, some of you have probably already stopped reading this due to the false promises from last summer, but like a fine wine some things just need time.

This will be a big year for Blimp Comics, a turn of the tide if you will. One thing we have said from the beginning is that we are a comic producer striving to create great stories and great art. Obtaining these standards has been a long and arduous process. A process that has culminated in an aggressive artist search, details of which will be released soon, but if you want to get ahead of the game email us at blimpcomics@gmail.com.

This year also marks the continuation of The Landlord. Creators Jason Hulse and Joe Regina are back at it again with a follow up to Collection Day. Stay tuned for details.

Finally, Blimp will be at New York Comic Con this year (WHICH BEGINS TOMORROW!!). Our presence will be much bigger than in years past so follow us on twitter for the most up to date info.

Also, in case you missed it Blimp revealed on their twitter that www.blimpcomics.com is officially on its way. Be sure to head over to our Facebook and Instagram pages for up to date info on this and all things Blimp.

The End is Near

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you enjoyed the second part of Collection Day that was released earlier this week (Seen Here). The second installment gave us a little more insight into the mysterious landlord, Mick Matthews. We saw Mick getting on the subway after what he describes as a "chaotic" night. But the point of this post is not to delve into previous released material.

Instead, we are proud to announce a release date for the conclusion of Collection Day. The third and final part will be coming next week. So please spread the word and get ready for the end of Blimp's first mini-series . . EVER.
