★Conjoined Comics is Back★
Friday, March 19, 2010
Hello all! We're back with a new look and some new content to share.
We've added a Comics section to the site where we'll be posting something (cross fingers) weekly. To get it started off, we've posted the first two Emogician mini comics for your enjoyment. These have mostly been available at conventions, so if you haven't been able to pick them up, take a look... and weep magic tears.
To The Power Against issue #5 is underway! After that, we are one issue away from completing the first arc! Unbelievable, I know, considering our breakneck pace so far.
In show news, we have secured a place at Wonder Con, coming up on April 2nd–4th. We'll be in Small Press at table SP-03, under the mighty Conjoined Comics banner. We'll have To The Power Against #1–4 with a preview of issue #5 as well as copies of Emogician for anyone craving authentic Xerox mini comics. Carrie will most likely do sketches of a robot punching out anything you like and I will handle any non-robot-punching-related art requests.
Hope to see you there!

Har har.
We are all packed and ready for adventures in San Francisco for this weekend's Alternative Press Expo. Well, ready except for the books. Those are currently on their way via aeroplane. BUT, they should all be here by tomorrow afternoon, just in time for us to sell them. To you.
Our table is #266, from the looks of the map, we're on one of the 'upper' levels of the show this year.
Stop by to get your copy of The Yeti, a wonderful yarn written by Carrie with a few illustrations by yours truly.

High-Ho, Constant Readers!
Our stand-alone book "The Yeti" has gone to print just in time for the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco next weekend. Stephanie came up with some outstanding illustrations and the cover is just awesome. The story's not too shabby, either. We'll also have issues 1–4 of "To The Power Against" and the usual heap of our sulky, samizdat' darling, "Emogician".
More info as the Expo approaches. Come see us!
Alternative Press Expo (APE) at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco, October 17–18.
★And We're Back!★
Monday, July 27, 2009
We arrived home safely last night.
An awesome time was had by all at Comic Con and now we must return to a world where a Bob's Big Boy jedi knight won't stroll past at any second (Carrie dubbed him Obob-Wan Kenobi).
Ka-Blam is apparently still working on getting "To The Power Against" issue #4 up on our Indy Planet page.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted or picked up books. Carrie will now retire from Robot Punch drawings until APE in October.
★LOLTWITTER★
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Hey, I have a Twitter account.
I might, uh, "tweet" (is that what everyone has decided to go with?) stuff from Comic Con. Sometimes I even take pictures and post them to TwitPic (or Flickr).
You can follow along here: http://twitter.com/stephanielantry.
Ka-Blam got swamped with Comic Con orders so "To The Power Against #4" hasn't made it up on to Indy Planet yet. We'll let you know as soon as it's there.
★Conjoined Comics Location @ Comic Con★
Monday, July 20, 2009
Here we go, a little map for locating us at the show (Small Press Table N-02):
We should be easy to find, if you come in to the hall and then take Aisle 1700 towards the back of the room, you'll run into our row. We'll be near Oni Press (and Sideshow Collectibles if you navigate via cave troll).
★Hard at Work★
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Checking in quickly with news from my Mysterious Art Lair (corner of living room).
Issue #4 of To The Power Against is getting quite close to being done. We should have it up for sale on Indy Planet in the next couple of weeks.
As Carrie mentioned, we will once again have a table at Comic Con. We'll be in the Small Press section at table N-2. I'll make one of those handy map things when I have time.
★San Diego Comic Con '09★
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Just a quick update:
We've officially got our table at SDCC! Woo hoo. Conjoined Comics rides again. And THIS time, we're gonna have an awesome company banner that won't fall down and kill bystanders. Although that is of course fun in its own way. *ahem*
Also, Stephanie and I are hard at work on the last issues of the first arc of To The Power Against. Lookin' good!
More updates as the Con approaches.
★WonderCon '09 Wrap Up★
Wednesday, March 04, 2009
Well, WonderCon is behind us once again. A huge thanks to everyone who came to see us at Ye Olde Moscone Centre this weekend. It was so good to see you all.
What can I say? Sold a whole bunch of comics, Stephanie did some sweet sketches, and we all learned the merits of washing our hands with soap and water.
I'd like to say a special thanks to two con-goers who bought a load of books from us and then randomly came back an hour later with a giant cup of hot tea and honey for my destroyed vocal chords. You guys rock so hard. Yay for nice people!
We're working on To The Power Against Issues #4–6 at the moment. We hope to have those ready by Comic Con, but just keep checking back here for updates.
Thanks again, guys. You really made it a great con for us.
★WonderCon 2009 Approaches!★
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Believe it or not, WonderCon is this weekend! If you'd like to visit us, our location is illustrated below.
I actually think it's the exact same table number as last year. Consistency!
★Thanks!★
Friday, November 07, 2008
A big "thank you" to everyone who stopped by our table at the Alternative Press Expo last weekend.
As we mentioned, the third issue of To The Power Against will be going to print soon. We hope to have it on the site by the end of the month (barring extended Thanksgiving-induced stupor).
We will be back in San Francisco in February for Wonder Con (Feb. 27th–Mar. 1st). No idea yet where the table will be but we'll let everyone know when we find out.
Since a few people asked, yes, I will be bringing some original artwork from the first few issues. If there's a particular page you're interested in, send an e-mail and let me know the issue and page number (or a couple lines of dialog or something descriptive) and I'll reserve it. Not sure how pricing will work yet but, uh... I'm certain I'm very reasonable.
★In Case You Missed It★
Thursday, September 18, 2008
We received the table number for our location at the Alternative Press Expo (A.P.E.) taking place in lovely San Francisco on November 1st–2nd.
Carrie and I will be at table #452.
★San Diego Comic-Con 2008!★
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Yes, it's that time of year again, when Stephanie and I load up the covered wagon and make the annual pilgrimage to join our brethren at Nerd Mecca. As posted previously, interested parties may find the irascible, indivisible ladies of Conjoined Comics at table P-10 in Small Press.
We'll have To The Power Against and Emogician copies for sale, as well as some previews and other goodies. Come for the comics, stay for the snarky banter.
See you there!
★A Bit Of Good News★
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Well, we missed out on what seemed to be an awesome Heroes Con however Carrie and I have just been informed that we will have a table at this year's Comic Con International!
We will be in Small Press at table number P-10.
We'll have To the Power Against issues one, two and (let's cross our fingers) three. There will be buttons and copies of Emogician to be had as well.
Hope to see you there!
★A Bit of Bad News★
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Due to a problem with our printers (something about machines breaking down and general anarchy) we won't be able to make the trip out to Heroes Con in North Carolina this weekend. We were really looking forward to it, but we literally have nothing to sell at the moment and do not have the funds to pull off an overnight shipping miracle.
Re-prints of issues #1 and #2 are on their way and issue #3 is coming along nicely. We will, of course, be selling them all here on our site.
Still on the waiting list for a table at Comic Con this year, but we may be able to work something out. In any case we'll be lurking around the show floor.

Thanks to everyone who visited our table in Seattle this weekend. Nice folks all around. We really appreciate the support! The Con zipped by so quickly for us, like some kind of strategic surgical comic book vending strike. Whew! Luckily, I only managed to break one ironing board the whole time.
For those who came by on Sunday looking in vain for Issue #1, don't despair—we still have plenty of copies available online for you. Click away! Issue #3 should be available around the time of Heroes Con (end of June), so do check back here for updates.
Thanks again!
★Emerald City Comicon - Again!★
Thursday, May 08, 2008
Just a quick note before we head out for the great metropolis of Seattle tomorrow afternoon...
We will be in Artist Alley at table number C-18.
You can find a PDF of the show floor at Emerald City Comicon's site. Hope to see you there!
★Emerald City Con★
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Stephanie and I will be at the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle this weekend, May 10th and 11th. If you plan to be in the greater or lesser Seattle area, please come on by and visit the Conjoined Comics booth.
We'll be shilling these quality Conjoined Comics titles: TO THE POWER AGAINST (Issues #1 & #2) and EMOGICIAN. As always, these titles are also available for purchase online. So dip into that economic stimulus rebate and support some excellent small press! When you buy Conjoined Comics, you buy for VICTORY!!!
And as a side note, I've been allowed a peek at Stephanie's preliminary pencils for our Conjoined Magnum Opus, "Manchu Park". They are fantastic. If I had to choose one word to sum up her grasp of this material: grace. There's a heck of a lot of research and heavy lifting involved in this almost stupidly suicidal blend of Jane Austen and martial arts, what with the panoply of costumes, weapons, settings, postures, etc., and she renders it all with such wit and smoothness. There was a page of kung-fu-ery in there that literally brought a tear to my eye. Made me realize just what kind of awesomeness lies ahead. "Manchu" officially exists! Yay!
★Oh Manchu, New Issue, and Thank You★
Saturday, March 22, 2008
Howdy!
Many of you (ok...Nick) have been wondering what's happening with our Jane Austen kung fu comic, Manchu Park. Well, wonder no longer! It's in the works. As we speak, Stephanie's nimble fingers are flying to and fro in the creation of fabulously high bustlines, pouty poets and swords so sharp they go *shinnnggg!*
Also coming down the pipe: To The Power Against Issue #3. Now, even more statistical analysis in every bite! Ohhh, and the cover art for this issue...I have but one awesome word for you: goggles. *pressing finger to lips*
Thanks so much to everyone who visited our booth at Wonder Con. It was so good to see/meet/share photos of my burrito with you guys. And thanks too for all the online orders that have been coming in for Issues #1 and #2. Keep 'em coming! Tell your friends! We won't rest until people on at least three continents accept Xi Chen as their overlord.
★To The Power Against Issue #2!★
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Yes, it's finally here!
Carrie and I will be selling these beauties (as long as the overnight shipping from the print place works out, fingers crossed) at Wonder Con this weekend.
We'll have a booth in Small Press, I believe it's #SP3 (floor plan is here).
Come for the comics, stay for the witty banter!
