6 Page Preview of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1
It has been awhile since I posted Gamer Girl & Vixen news, so prepare for a mother load! We are proud to present to you a preview of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1. Here are the first 6 pages of our comic. These will be part of the finished product, and introduce both of our main characters.
The first issue is almost complete, and will hopefully be done by the end of the month. From there, we’re planning to finally launch our Kickstarter campaign in May to produce a second issue, and then to print and ship both issues to our backers. We’re nearing the final stretch to get our comic off the ground and into your hands!
But first we need your help! I know some of you readers are fellow bloggers, with your own comic book blogs. If anyone is willing to host these preview pages on their own blog to help spread the word of Gamer Girl & Vixen, please let me know. You can leave a comment at the bottom of this page or shoot me an email at GamerGirlandVixen@gmail.com. The only way my comic can succeed is if we get the word out, so I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
If you’d like to follow along more closely with the production, you can visit our new website www.gamergirlandvixen.com!
Now without further ado, join me after the jump for the rest of the preview! And let me know what you think in the comments! Thank you!
We Need Your Help with Gamer Girl & Vixen!
I can’t express you how exciting it has been to make Gamer Girl & Vixen and share it with all of you. This has been one of the coolest thing I’ve ever done, and we’re barely getting started! Right now though, I need your help with a little market research so we can better understand exactly what we’re getting into here.
I’m going to need some volunteers to answer a couple questions. Who’s in?
You’re our only hopes!
Our Kickstarter is drawing ever closer this spring, but all of the research in the world isn’t going to prepare us to fully understand how to succeed. There is no perfect guide on how to run a successful Kickstarter. So I’m hoping to get your help to knock around some ideas. You henchies will hopefully be a big part of our audience, so I thought I’d turn to see you find out what you would be interested in getting from Gamer Girl & Vixen. Your input can help drive this book.
Anybody who would like to help me, please send an e-mail to GamerGirlandVixen@gmail.com, and we can get to work! I just have a few questions, and hopefully we can get a discussion going. We would really appreciate your help.

Gamer Girl & Vixen: Meet Taylor Esposito, Professional Letterer
Big news this week, comic book fans!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome letterer Taylor Esposito to the creative team of Gamer Girl & Vixen! Formerly of both Marvel and DC Comics, Taylor is the lettersmith behind recent comics like Red Hood and the Outlaws, Constantine, New Suicide Squad, Vibe, Katana, Watson and Holmes, Bodies, and more.
Taylor has worn many hats in the comic book industry over the past several years, mostly in the graphic design side of things. He was a staff letterer at DC Comics for the past two years before leaving their employ in December. Since then, Taylor has decided to go freelance with his own graphics studio, Ghost Glyph Studios.
And one of the first projects Taylor signed up for was Gamer Girl & Vixen! Taylor discovered us through the Twittersphere and quickly offered us his talents to help make our comic a reality. He’s been hard at work for us behind the scenes for several weeks now, and he finally gave us the go-ahead to announce his involvement publicly.
As a special treat with the announcement, we present the completed first page of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1, with Taylor’s lettering! On this page, Vixen is narrating her opening heist!
Artist Gemma Moody is hard at work this month on finishing up issue #1 for us, and we’re going to share more completed pages in the weeks ahead. So stay tuned. We’re drawing ever closer to getting our comic off the ground, and now with the creative team complete, it’s only a matter of time!
If you’d like to follow along more closely with the production of Gamer Girl & Vixen, you can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Both are updated frequently.
We’re also turning our Tumblr page into the Gamer Girl & Vixen HQ! There you’ll be able to see all preview pages we show off, as well as get some more background info on the project and the team.
I’ve also got another announcement for Gamer Girl & Vixen soon, so keep your eyes peeled to this blog. I’m going to need your help with something!

All 6 Gamer Girl & Vixen Preview Pages!
We’ve been teasing these pages for awhile now, but my creative team and I are finally ready to share all six preview pages for Gamer Girl & Vixen! These pages were written and drawn last Fall when we were trying to pitch to comic book publishers. That didn’t work out, so we’re forging ahead with self-publishing plans and a Kickstarter this Spring. The pages are going to be re-drawn, re-lettered, and even a little re-written, so what you see here is no longer the finished product — but it’s still a nice taste of what Gamer Girl & Vixen is going to be!
These preview pages are co-written by myself and Kristi McDowell, with art and lettering by Gemma Moody. Here’s the first page, which takes place in the middle of the first issue, with Gamer Girl and Vixen on the run from security.
Join me after the jump to see the rest of the preview! Some of these pages I’ve posted before, and some are brand new! I hope you enjoy. Anybody interested in following along on our progress and helping out with the Kickstarter can keep their eyes peeled to my blog. We’re currently in production on issue #1, and I should have some final project preview pages in the near future. So stay tuned.
We are also only 3 people away from reaching 100 likes on our Facebook page! So anyone who’d like to pop on over there and give us a thumbs up, please do! I’m pretty sure we get some kind of special prize when we reach 100 likes. At the very least, we’re all feel really warm and fuzzy.
Gamer Girl & Vixen – Valentines!
Happy soon-to-be Valentine’s Day, everybody! Seeing as how I’m making a romance comic in Gamer Girl & Vixen, my creative team and I decided to celebrate this most Hallmarky of holidays with some Gamer Girl & Vixen valentines! Designed by the one and only Gemma Moody, these Valentines are offered to all of you free of charge! Print them off and hand them to your loved ones. Or e-mail them. Or better yet, save them and then post them to Facebook or Twitter when the big V-day comes. And be sure to link people back to my articles, or to our Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr! Spread the love, my henchies!
So please share and celebrate! They’re all yours!
