Zenescope Expands Work Force at 2013 Comic Conventions

While the thought of a publisher making it to 2,013 comic conventions sounds tantalizing, it's also downright impossible. There probably aren't even 2,013 shows to begin with, let alone enough time to get to them all. Now shows in the year 2013? That's a little more realistic and Zenescope Entertainment plans to be at a whopping 25 of them.

This is the publisher's most comprehensive and ambitious schedule to date and will feature (at times) Joe Brusha, Ralph Tedesco, Raven Gregory, Anthony Spay, Eris Basaldua, Pat Shand and many others. This year the company has raised the bar as it puts the lovely Zenescope ladies to work with its “Work Force” theme for 2013. Basaldua, Jamie Tyndall, Spay, Elias Chatzoudis, Franchesco and other top industry talent will take turns portraying Zenescope’s iconic and strong-willed female characters in a variety of blue and white collar work environments in the pinup style that has elevated Zenescope’s limited edition exclusives to be must-have collectibles.

Zenescope has also announced a new line of "Black Diamond" exclusive variants. These rare covers are intended to reward the hardcore collectors and fans who end up collecting all of them. The first Black Diamond cover made its debut in January at Amazing Arizona Comic Con and future Black Diamonds will debut at various, random conventions throughout 2013. The exact release schedule is being kept under wraps, but it'll basically be something like Pokemon: gotta catch them all.

Full press release and covers below.

Zenescope Entertainment Expands its “Work Force” at comic conventions for 2013

February 2013,

Zenescope Entertainment has released its convention schedule for 2013 which covers a total of 25 different conventions and cities, including two visits abroad in both Canada and the United Kingdom. It’s the most comprehensive convention schedule for the company to date.  Zenescope’s writers, creators and artists such as Joe Brusha, Ralph Tedesco, Raven Gregory, Anthony Spay, Eric Basaldua, Pat Shand and many others are expected to be present throughout many of the company’s convention stops.

Over the past several years, Zenescope has maintained the most original and sought after convention exclusive covers in the industry. And this year the company has raised the bar as it puts the lovely Zenescope ladies to work with its “Work Force” theme for 2013. Eric Basaldua, Jamie Tyndall, Anthony Spay, Elias Chatzoudis, Franchesco and other top industry talent will take turns portraying Zenescope’s iconic and strong-willed female characters in a variety of blue and white collar work environments in the pinup style that has elevated Zenescope’s limited edition exclusives to be must-have collectibles.

Further, Zenescope has announced its new line of “Black Diamond” exclusive variants. These rare covers are intended to reward the hardcore collectors and fans who end up collecting all of them.

The first Black Diamond cover made its debut in January at Amazing Arizona Comic Con and future Black Diamonds will debut at various, random conventions throughout 2013. However, a specific release schedule and certain details about the covers are still being kept under wraps. Those who miss their opportunity to purchase these covers at the conventions can also look for them on Zenescope’s official web store.
