Thank you!!
*ahem* As some of you know, I formed Infinity Comics. (Facebook.com/InfinityComicsGroup btw) We have 4 genre imprints: - The Hero Chronicles. The general "superhero" genre which encompasses the Bronze Age to Modern Age in comics and Sci-Fi - Tales of Danger. Pulp fiction, Golden Age, mystery men, suit & tie heroes, WW1 & 2 heroes, weird horror. - Fists of Legends. Martial art heroes, historical fiction - Weird Wild Westerns. Spaghetti & American style westerns, horror/occult/gothic (in the classical sense not the poseur mall goth style) westerns, "steampunk" And my pride and joy, an as of yet unnamed Tokusatsu imprint which encompasses everything we know and love. From Sentai teams to Kaiju and everything in between. I'm currently looking for artists for the Toku imprint for a Crusading Skull/Gun Caliber one shot (https://www.facebook.com/CrusadingSkull and https://www.facebook.com/guncaliber) The story is that Skull is shunted to 2012 from the mid 1950s. He runs into Gun Caliber and in true comic book fashion, they clash. Eventually they join forces when Skull realizes that the criminal syndicate known as the Shadowmen are still around in the future. During the story they meet up with 3 other henshin heroes as well. Hurricane Cobalt (a young man who shares a body with a futuristic sentai hero who lost his team in a horrific battle), Kaimaira (a man who has been cruelly experiment on and now possesses mimic-like abilities) and an unnamed oni-style tech armor wearing hero (my co-writer is still working on his name; think of the hero as a type of Iron Man). There will be aliens, mobsters, cyborgs, kaiju, kaijin, giant mecha, boobs, violence, bullets, blood, action, booze, bawdy humor, violence... We are looking for either a manga or western comic style artist who has a firm grasp of human anatomy, sequentials/story boarding who can color & ink their own work. If they can't that's okay, we have a few colorists. . . . . *peter griffin laugh* Firm grasp on human anatomy..... . . . Sorry! If interested please send me any samples of your work to InfinityComics@ZOHO.com. Even if you only do covers/pinups, that's fine! Please pass this along to any of your friends! Since we're less than a micro-press company, I must be honest & forthright in saying there is no money to be made yet. We're still cutting our teeth w/regards to money, contracts and all stuff. Once we get the ball rolling and we're engaging in some real sales then $$ can be discussed but it'll be some time. Fortunately everyone in IC is in it for the love of the comic medium. Writers are constantly doing research to keep their gears lubricated and artists are padding their portfolios. For stuff our artists have contributed go to our Deviant Art page! For the SWF file (animated page flipping! can be seen in IE) go here. For the PDF file go here. For the CBZ file (for digi-comic readers) go here. Make sure to scroll down and click REGULAR DOWNLOAD. much to my chagrin, Wupload has changed their system to a paid one... *snort*

We also have a Tumblr account and Twitter!
also our debut issue was met with rave reviews from people that count, the fans not some snarky douchebag hipster who only reads "indy descontructionist works of comic hero angst and art" "I love that I can get into the story with ease! I'm not a comic reader but I like how immersive the stories are!" "The colors are so bright! The heroes look very dynamic and love their designs!" "The stories, though short and I realize this is just an introductory issue, are fun and exciting! Super hero sci-fi, retro/magic, steampunk, silver age style? OMFG!" "King Cobra looks fukking badazz. I bet he can beat wolvrine." "Star Sentry could be a winner." "The coming soon sketches are a great idea! And the manifesto? I like it alot!" "Black Rook looks cute!!" "Dr. Sunn looks like he can give Dr. Strange a run for his money." "Tales of Danger? Is that the next issue? As in pulp-fiction style comic stories? WIN! LIKE A BOSS!" "I can't wait to order a print copy!" " I really love Clockwinder. They are all so different yet there is a hard to explain cohesiveness to it!" "Clockwinder looks like steampunk done :::RIGHT:::" "Black Rook has an awesome retro look." "Crusading Skull? 1950s Japan? Tokusatsu goodliness? Oh god! Yes Please!" "wow I just finished reading your debut issue and it's honestly the best new stuff I have read since Irredeemable! great work I can't wait for the follow up." "I just finished your first issue and I LOVED it There's something to love about every story/hero, and it's so refreshing to see a comic that's not all doom and gloom and mopey characters. The artwork is brilliant, particularly on the Clockwinder. I can't wait for the next issue!" "I love the colors in the Sentry story! They remind me of those Alex Toth cartoons!" "The art in the Doctor Sun story is very alive. The story is so cool. Romeo the cat is so adorable! I want to see more of Sun!" "I'm stationed in Japan and reading a story set in 1950s Japan made me ridiculously happy. I love how Japan looked back then! Skull looks awesome and his Skull Gun is so campy and retro-licious!" "Clockwinder = STEAMPUNK KING. No stupid goggles, no stupid cheesecake slags in bustiers, no stupid looking Nerf guns painted gold. And it's set in modern times. I like this a lot!" "Star Sentry is something right out of Captain Comet or Adam Strange! Definitely a DC quality hero!" "The art on the Clockwinder and Sunn is FANTASTIC! And Crash Colt looks really cool on the bike with his weapons! Same artist???????" "The cover by Okum is so cool. It's like an animated style! I love those bubble profile pics on the cover!" "No angst? Check. No cheesecake bimbos? Check. No beefcake douchebags? Check. No socially minded pandering to the lowest common denominator by using politically correct storylines? Check. GREAT action and relatable characters? CHECK!" "Black Rook mentioned a French village which was the scene of a horrific massacre in WW2. Does this mean he fought in that war? If so, that's cool. I like characters and stories that saw action during the European campaign." "Those bad guys the Crusader Skull faces look very cool. I like how they all wore metal masks. The artist Scott did a wonderful job! Those poor monks!" "I LOVE THE COLORS!!!!!!!!!! ITMAKES TEH COMIC POP!!! COVODONGA IS BLOODY FANTASTIC!"

For more info on the Gun Caliber hero, check out the teaser for his upcoming indy film!
The mockumentary he made is RIOTOUS! This movie is gonna ROCK! Thanks to Bueno, my fondness of the Toku genre has been rekindled!
