Happy Thanksgiving from Gamer Girl & Vixen!
Happy Thanksgiving, henchies! I come to you with some exciting new artwork and news about my home-brewed comic book, Gamer Girl & Vixen! Not only are we shipping out issues to all of our Kickstarter backers (including some of you lovely people!), but we’re also on the verge of an even bigger couple of announcements!
But first, I wanted to share some of this amazing GG&V artwork from superstar artist Gemma Moody! We work her artsy fingers to the bone, and this is still the love she shows us!
We’re not ready to share the big news just yet, but this artwork was too good not to show off. I know I haven’t written about Gamer Girl & Vixen in awhile, but that’s going to change! I’m living the dream with a great creative team, and I want to shout it from the rooftops!
So keep your eyes peeled and glued to this blog for some big Gamer Girl & Vixen news next week! And we’ll have even more news after that. And even more after that! I’m making comics here, and it’s as much fun as I hoped it would be!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Sean Ian Mills in the Proving Grounds!
It’s an exciting day for me! Instead of posting the latest funny Internet video or comic book news, we get to delve into one of my own personal projects today! As some of you have already read, I’m working on my own comic called Gamer Girl & Vixen. The first issues are due back from the printer later this fall. But that’s not my only project!
Another comic I’m writing is going to be called Forever Blue. It’s a Firefly meets Power Rangers idea about a team of colorful commandoes who must reunite several years after they failed to save the universe.
Logo is a work in progress
Right now, I’ve got the first storyline planned out, and I’ve started scripting the first two issues. Forever Blue was one of my submissions to the Oni Press open submission competition this summer — and it didn’t make the cut. But I’m not going to give up. If I can get it scripted, I’m going to look into hiring an artist and maybe posting it as a web comic sometime next year.
But that’s all in the future.
Today is exciting because I submitted the script for issue #1 to the website Comix Tribe, which hosts a peer review feature called The Proving Grounds. A team of Comix Tribe editors dig into submitted amateur scripts and offer critiques and other constructive criticisms. I’ve been on pins and needles waiting for my turn for weeks now, and today is the day!
Click here to check out Forever Blue on The Proving Grounds.
They ping me for my pacing problems, and I totally understand what they’re getting at. It’s great advice, and something I’m going to have to work on when I finally start producing Forever Blue.
If you’d like to read the full scene, which is a few pages longer than what was critiqued, you can Click Here.
Also, I’m a little embarrassed about a scene I wrote involving the main character’s butt, and my attempt to make a pun about it on Page 3. Heh. As you henchies know, I’m not the kind of creator/reader who’s in this for the gratuitous butt shots. But it seems I have a long way to go in my mastery of ass-related puns.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this first sneak peek into Forever Blue! I hope to have more news about it going forward.

Last Day to Pre-Order Gamer Girl & Vixen!
The last day of my Kickstarter has arrived, and we have knocked it out of the park! Gamer Girl & Vixen hit both its main goal and its stretch goal with time to spare! So I will be publishing THREE issues of Gamer Girl & Vixen this year thank to all of the lovely people who backed my project. I can’t thank you Henchies enough for putting up your own money to help me out! You people are spectacular!
If you’d still like to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen, now is the last chance!
I plan to keep this blog rolling with GG&V news as we work on the comic through the summer. We’ve got a lot of big plans for our little comic, so stay tuned!
