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.

Post-NYCC 2013

The four day celebration of comics, games, movies, and all the other things we adore has come to an end. New York Comic Con was incredible, from the insane amount of comic vendors to the exclusive releases, appearances, and announcements the con delivered in every way. 

Blimp was fortunate enough to be part of all the excitement and had giveaways through out the weekend. Hopefully you were lucky enough to receive one of the many cards, or "NYCC 2013 Blimp Bags." Those of you who follow us on twitter and instagram got a taste of all the excitement but in case you missed it here's a one picture sum-up for the weekend that was NYCC 2013. 

NYCC 2013

Going to NYCC this year? Be sure to catch Blimp! Creators Jason Hulse and Joe Regina will be at the Javits Center both Friday October 11 and Saturday October 12. We will be handing out cards all weekend and enjoying all that the con has to offer. 

No booth...this year, so find us on the floor handing out cards, talking to people, and embarking on the artist search. Oh, and if you get there early enough you could be one of the first to get one of these...

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.

Just a taste

On this lovely Sunday we proudly present to you the exclusive comic  that was handed out at this year's NYCC. The comic was on the back of the previously released Blimp advertisement. This is the first of many so let us know what you think!! Also, there are still some prints available! Make sure you get one. Be sure to follow us on twitter @BlimpComics and check out our facebook page for the latest news on Blimp releases. Including news on the upcoming series The Landlord.

Best Weekend Ever?

Today was unfortunately the end of this year's New York Comic Con. The weekend was in one word AMAZING. From Capcom's incredible showcase with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Streetfighter X Tekken to the uncanny amount of comic vendors the show was filled.

This years show was bigger and better then ever before. It included more games (i.e. Nintendo's booth) and movies (i.e. The Avengers) then last year which made the crowd one of the biggest ever. Blimp creators Jason Hulse (@JASONHULSE) and Joe Regina (@joe_regina) were there to take it all in and spread the word about Blimp's upcoming releases. Although most of their time was spent knuckles deep in comic boxes they also handed out cards and picked up sticks with the best of them at Capcom's booth. On Friday some lucky attendees got their hands on an NYCC exclusive Blimp card (see posts below) with a comic on the back. Then, on Saturday hundreds of people received Blimp ad cards. All in all, Blimp made its presence known this past weekend.

Even with all the new and exciting showcases the core of the weekend is still comics. The amount of comic vendors, companies, writers, and artists was almost mind-numbing. So it was only fitting that Blimp was there.  More details and pictures on what Blimp's creators were actually doing at NYCC will be coming later. So be sure to follow us on twitter @BlimpComics and check us out on facebook.

Update: Weekly Release & NYCC

Yesterday marked the return of Blimp Comics, and along with it came a couple of announcements. First, Blimp Comics will be attending this year's New York Comic Con (NYCC).

Creators Jason Hulse (@JASONHULSE) and Joseph Regina (@joe_regina) will be live tweeting through out the weekend giving you updates on everything NYCC. Also, for anyone who will be attending the con they will be giving out exclusive NYCC edition Blimp cards. These cards are exclusive to NYCC and will be available to anyone attending. Yesterday's "re-launch" also marked the announcement of a weekly release from inside the Blimp universe.

These weekly releases will range in format and style from single-page-stories to advertisements and concept art. The first "piece" to be released is the first part to the ongoing web-series "The Landlord." The weekly releases are a reflection of the wide range of content in the Blimp universe. This means there is no set order or method to the madness. The only guarantee is that you will be getting new content once a week.

More details on the specifics of Blimp's presence at NYCC will be coming later in the week so be sure to follow us on twitter @BlimpComics and check out our facebook page: facebook.com/blimpcomics.
