Last Minute Comic Rush of 2010
How many of you guys are rushing around still buying presents at the last minute? I know that I am, and like many of you, I struggle with what to get my friends and relatives.
No matter how well you know them, you still would like to get them a gift that not only delights them but also surprises them. Most people don't expect graphic novels and comic books in a genre that they like, so why not do that?
I know that sometimes we don't always order things on time and due to the weather lately around world being particularly bad (did you hear about the million travelers stranded in Europe?) we can't expect the items we ordered to arrive on time.
But no worries, I'm here to save you!
If you live in the Southern California area, Studio-407 is conveniently located here so that you won't have the agonizing wait by your door for the UPS/FEDEX/USPS man, when you can just get some of our wonderful original graphic novels straight from us!
And for those that are a little farther away, many retailers and comic shops that carry our title will be open special hours to accomadate the season. One in praticular near my house is even having a holiday sale and I'm sure that this isn't limited to just this one store!
Not really into graphic novels but a fan of us anyways? Or have that extra Christmas bonus to do rush deliveries?
We have an online store at Zazzle .
Here is a quick reminder of some of our great titles and with that I wish you all
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's December 1st!!! Do you know what that means?
Here we are: the first of December. It pretty much much means two things:
The year is ending and a new year is coming. That can either make you very happy or very depressed.
The holidays are coming sooner than you think.
As Studio-407 tweeted towards the end of last week, Black Friday is usually when people make a mad dash to reward themselves for waiting an entire year to get that thingy-ma-bob that they wanted on a steep discount and/or start to stack up presents for the people that you love. Afterall, you can never plan too early for gifts.
I don't know what you want for the holidays, but for me, all I ask for is geeky/nerdy stuff. I'd be happy with anything, but if I had to narrow it down to a single genre, I'd say comics. Graphic novels. Tradepaperbacks. Sequential art. Whatever term you wanna use.
And what would I want to get for others? Unless it's something that I know that they absolutely love or relentlessly hinted to you for almost 11 months, I usually go with a comic book.
Why? Regardless of whether they "like" the comic art medium or not, they cannot deny that they come in all kinds of genre's, themes, motifs and what not. You are bound to find something that your friend or family member will like.
As you scour the internet for these such comics, Studio-407 is here to present some of those genres!
Sensitive about those being oppressed and seeking justice?
A best friend who adores Jeepers Creepers and other like horror? Yes, yes and yes.
The vampire craze is on. But not Twilight style. This one comes with a unique plot and great twist!
Know a Sin City and/or Hellboy nut? Well surprise, surprise....we have something in store for you!
A sister who has a love for the Walking Dead and/or Aliens the movie? Check.
Go to our site and take a look around first. We even have previews of the comics before you spend your hard earned on money them! See? Aren't we nice? Other than the ones listed above there are many more great titles that we have on our Studio-407 site! Maybe you'll find something like you, or something you know, would like that was not pictured above.
There really IS something for everyone! No? Don't want comics and just great merchandise? You are in luck, here is our nifty site for that! Click here!
So what do you want this holiday? Leave a comment below because I would love to know what you guys are thinking!

Things that I am thankful for
Early Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (at least people who live in America. To all those that live outside of the U.S., Happy Thursday then!)
Tomorrow here in the United States is known as Thanksgiving. Many people have many different views on this holiday due to history, but to me, regardless of whatever the interpretations may be, it is a day that I take the extra time to remind myself how thankful I truly am with all the wonderful "little things" that are often over looked and taken for granted.
Other than being thankful to be working, having a warm home with people who care and love me, I have come to realize that the biggest thing that I take for granted everyday is reading comics.
Reading. Comics. Those two words together sound a bit ridiculous for this grand gesture that I'm making. But given some time and thought it's not just about reading comics.
I have the ability and eyesight (although I wear glasses) to see the pages. I can see color. I live in a country where certain comics genre and plotlines can be published. This same country also belongs in a world where illteracy is a huge problem and I blessed enough to have free public education where being able to read at least at a highschool level is enforced.
It is not just about what I can see and understand but also what I can feel. There is nothing like holding a comic book in my hand and feeling the soft wind ripple through my hair at each turn of the page. There is a certain disease out there (whose compliated scientific name escapes me at the moment) where select people cannot feel. It is sad that they cannot experience a touch from a loved one, the warmth of holding a cuddly animal that loves you, or the gentle roughness of a page in your favorite book.
Many publishers have found ways around people with disabilities such as audio-comic books. But even with that, there is nothing like experiencing another world with all the intended senses hard working comic book companies originally wanted for us.
Reading comics seems like such an simple thing that I do everyday that it has completely slipped my mind of what the bigger picture it represents. All that I should be thankful for.
I know that with our busy schedules and the bustle of everyday life, it hardly occurs to us to stop and remember all the wonderful things in our lives however big or small. When one stops to really count all the small things even, they really do add up!
So to make up for all those lost times that slipped by, take some time tomorrow (or right now) and make a mental (or even written list) of all that is good in our lives, review it in our brain and go about the rest of your week with a smile.
Feel free to leave a comment below of some of things that you guys are thankful for! Let's share!
Cheers! And Happy Thanksgiving! (For those that live in the U.S.!)

Studio-407 and EPICNESS
With nearly a day left (or less) until the midnight release of Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part it got me thinking of epics (in the film industry. Not poems.)
The Harry Potter movie franchise is coming to an end with this new movie being part 1 of the last book. Harry Potter will be known as not only an award winning billion dollar novel franchise but also an epic story divided into 8 movies.
One of dictionary.com's definitions of the word epic is : heroic; majestic; impressively great.
Usually when someone says " oh it was an epic movie" or " The entire series of movies made an great epic" the first couple of film titles that come to mind would be the Lord of the Ring trilogy, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or even for a single film not in a series: Lawrence of Arabia.
A great as Inception was, it was amazing film but it is not as an "epic". Many films have epic moments, but few can really call themselves epics.
Everyone's favorite reliable source is wikipedia. When looking up the article of Epic Film, we find that
"An epic is a genre of film that emphasizes human drama on a grand scale. Epics are more ambitious in scope than other film genres, and their ambitious nature helps to differentiate them from similar genres such as the period piece or adventure film. They typically entail high production values, a sweeping musical score (often by an acclaimed film composer), and an ensemble of bankable stars placing them among the most expensive of films to produce."
I look forward to seeing an Studio-407 film in theater sometime in the near future and know that we have it takes to make an epic film, or even, a series of films that becomes one epic. But what title exactly?
Upon further inspection, I find that Heroes Unlimited would be amazing as a series of films. To further convince myself, I was taken to the Heroes Unlimited online comic preview and went to page 13 where instantly. I could picture this live action movie to feature this scene on an IMAX screen shown internationally around the world.
What do you guys think? And if not, what kind of films do you want to see Studio-407 produce? Leave you comments below! I want to read them! =)
Alright, off to get a good nights rest, after all, I dunno about you, but I'll be at the midnight showing of Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1 and experience film history as this series come to a close.

Digital Comics and CBD!
It's Wednesday aka Comic Book Day!
What titles did you guys pick up after eagerly rushing off of work to your friendly local comic book retailer? Leave comments below because I want to know!
Everywhere I go, I see billboard ads for the iPad. And it gets me thinking about digital comics. Or at least, comics being read digitally.
Whether you torrent them or purchase them online to be read, how do you feel about the move that all comic book publishers are making towards making them digital? The move is initiated by several factors such as price, all the space that comic books take up and the simplicity of being able to download them and carry them wherever you go. (plus, it is the age of technology afterall)
I breath comics, so I take them in any form that they come, yes, even audio book style. However, there is nothing like walking into a comic bookstore, breathing in the new book smell, picking up a 32 page issue in my hand, and flipping through them. The sensation of being able to hold something material in my hand is devoided when iIm scrolling up and down, pushing keyboard buttons, and zooming in and out on my monitor. Of course I can look at 2 page spreads and flip back to an earlier scene on my computer or iPad/iPhone, but I miss having an actual book in my hand. Plus, I'm super worried if I were to drop my iPad or the battery runs out. Won't have that problem when I have the "real" thing.
Whether you are old school or embracing the modern age of technology, I'm just grateful that comics are still around. The move towards the digital medium is inevitable, but do you guys think that paper comics will still be around 10 years from now? Let me know what you think!
Studio-407 is no stranger to publishing comics in the hard copy format and having them online all ready for you!
So pull out your iPad/iTouch/iPhone and get ready to download and read!

LBCC and Halloween!
So how was your weekend guys? Please comment below and let me know!
So this weekend for us here at Studio-407 was crazy due to all that would be happening. The Long Beach Comic Con (next to the gorgeous ocean) took place at the same time as a ZomBcon (sadly, we have no time-turner and could only be at one place at once). But if you guys can go the next year, please do! A shout out to Brian Walton and Jonathan London of Geekscape who started the first real big ZomBcon.
There was also a fundraiser for Hero Initiative (a non-profit organization that supports comic book artists and writers.) and also Sunday night (Halloween!) was the highly anticipated Walking Dead series premiere on AMC. (Support comic book turns films and tv shows!)
Zombies and vampires are extremely popular with obvious reasons. Zombies (not just for their gore and horrific faces) can symbolize any sort of negative element in our life. While vampires, long before their sparkly days, was the reflection of the human soul, the part of us that was fascinated with darkness, lust, mystery, immortality, and mythology.
You can find zombie and vampire themed books, t shirts, mugs, merchandise anywhere, including here, at the lovely Studio-407 website!
The main problem that many of us find is that any sort of vampire or zombie story has already "been done before". But Studio-407 was commended by various readers and review sites as having to have written a vampire and zombie story that is unique and not been touched upon by other publishers.
Check them out for yourself and tell us what you think!

Comixology dreaming
Yes, I know that the title of today's post is a play of a famous Mamas and Papas oldies song. =)
I just woke up from the most curious dream to type this. Earlier in the afternoon, I was having a migraine. I don't deal well with migraines and have absolutely no idea/admiration for those who can work through an entire day (amongst the busy office, ringing of phones, loud talking of people) and still manage to get their work done without stabbing a person in the eye with a pencil. (thanks SDCC of 2010!)
As someone who rarely suffers from headaches, this was a setback. Drinking plenty of water and napping usually cures me so that's exactly what I did. Most of the time, I just sleep, wake up and then go about my business, or sometimes I have a dream then wake up and totally forget about it a few minutes later.
But this one, was totally different.
I was stuck IN comixology. Much like.....Kevin Flynn in TRON. I had the same suit (but female version) of Sam Flynn's but instead of holding an identity disc, I had a round shaped comic in my hand. All around me, large (Phantom Zone-like) shaped comics were flying around my head.
There was no way out of this virtual world other than through "games" to survive. So basically, picture TRON, but with a comic book theme.
I was completely terrified and confused and then I startled awake about 20 minutes earlier than the alarm time I had set.
I got up to to go sit on my couch (where I'm typing now) to think about my dream, I realized two things of why my subconscious /dream world decided to mess with me:
1) Today is Wednesday! Therefore: Comic Book Day. And earlier in the the week, I had received an email message about when Studio-407's titles will be released on comixology.
2) Tomorrow night I will be going to a special preview screening (invited by a friend) to California Adventureland's elecTRONica. Basically, it's Disneyland and California Adventure all TRON themed out. There are preview pictures of it on google already and I am very excited. This is a limited time engagement only and will be for promotion of the new TRON: Legacy movie that comes out this December 17th! I think for a few months. I have been waiting for tomorrow night for weeks!
Now, it makes total sense to me about my dream, which I also hope will never, never, never happen. I don't know if I could survive that virtual world. But I do know that I can survive in the real world long enough because I love my comics, and Studio-407 will be releasing new comics every week!!! ( Some are already out) Go HERE!

What is your passion?
This weekend was a great reminder of what brings joy in my life and what my passion is. I had great plans to do alot of work (which of course involves movies and comics, therefore making me very happy). But on Friday I had a family related incident which involved an entire weekend sacrificed at the ER following a frantic 911 call.
I barely slept 2 hours a day for 5 days straight. With that, included barely eating. As I saw my immediate family member in such a fragile and critical state, I felt great sadness. And of course, it is a cliche that we hear that during moments of great trauma, we come to realize what important things in life are or even, have them reinforced.
To pass the time and to get my mind off of the current situation, I turned to my new smartphone for such distraction. Like muscle memory, I started checking up on comic book news, graphic novel sites. fansites with updates on Smallville, and wanting to see something familiar, I went to Studio-407's website.
As I took a quick vision break (I don't want to stare at an electronic device too long, my eyesight is bad enough!) I realized that I felt happier and a bit better, even if it would be for a short amount of time. I knew that my calming center in my life are comic books.
Obviously, if you are reading this, following us on twitter, being our Facebook friend and/or coming to see us at conventions, you already are a fan of comics. Like me, comics is a passion in our life, whether it is a career or simply a hobby, it is the interest in it it that brings a beam of shining light into our lives and a smile to our face.
I once tried everything I could to stop a friend from ending his life, when nothing could talk him out of it, I said the only thing that was left in my brain. Out of desperation I blurted: "If you end your life now, how will you know what happens in the Spiderman One More Day arc next Wednesday?"
Although trivial to some, this was a defining moment for him. And to this day, he keeps reading. Literally, Wednesday is Comic Book Day and it "saves" us in different ways.
Whether it is just an interest or a deep love, pop culture is something that resonates in us, and people of all ages, gender and race will and have experienced it.
Coca Cola is one of those examples and I fully believe Studio-407 will also be another one day.
As we gear up to bring you guys more of our wonderful books and products, keep in mind that comics is something that unites us to go to conventions and call ourselves nerds, but also a passion in our life that fuels us.
Other than comics, what else is your passion that fuels you? Leave your comments below! I want to read them.
And with that, I end this post with some of our great titles that are here/will be coming. May they fuel that love for pop-culture in all of you! Have a great and safe night!
