Proof

[Alex Grecian]

With issue seven, Proof finally gets to cut loose and smash someone. But if he crosses the line from man to animal, can he go back? No matter how well he dresses, he was never a man.

[Matt_Stevens]

Proof SMASH! :D I'm there, Alex.

[Punisher37]

The set up of this book reminds me alot of Hellboy. Proof will never truly fit in with humans no matter how hard he tries.

[Xeero]

What the heck is this book about? lol, I've seen Grecian pimp this in quite a few threads and forums now.

[Matt_Stevens]

Bigfoot is real. He's extremely intelligent. He's also an animal, so he can get scary, like an animal. He works for the government and... ____, it's hard to sum up. I will say that Alex is building an interesting, well thought out X-Files like story here. When I say X-Files, I mean that there is a lot going on and much of it isn't conventional.

Frankly, if this book can get through the first year and grow a bit more of a readership I think it will be truly something special.

[Xeero]

Hmm. I'll see if I could track an issue down.

PROOF VOL. 1: GOATSUCKER TP (ISBN: 978-1-58240-944-3), a 128-page full color trade paperback for $9.99, will be in stores May 7th, 2008.

The first five issues! 10 bucks! Next week!

How's that for pimping? :D

-Alex

[Xeero]

Heh. I'm actually planning on getting this. I was lurking through your forum and spotted that. I even left a comment. :D

[Matt_Stevens]

The trade is perfect for new readers. It's dirt cheap and with store discounts can be had for under $10 incuding tax. I'm buying a couple to give to friends who have been skeptical and so far refused to pick up the title.

[Realmsartist]

Alex i got issue one and my LCS didnt pull some others by the time i remembered to
pick it up again it was on issue 6.

Ill be picking the trade and tracking down the rest of the earlier issues i missed.

Thanks for the reminder.

[DKnobius]

I've been reading Proof since the beginning, and I gotta say this is one of my favorite books every month. Alex and Riley bust their butts to get it out on time, and have never failed. Riley has a unique style and conveys emotion and action really well. Alex's writing is great, and the series throws in many curves. Just a great read.

[Alex Grecian]

Wizard interviews the Proof creative team about #7 and the direction of the series. If you still don't know much about Proof, this covers all the bases. Riley and I had a blast! Check it out...

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/042908imagespotlight.html

-Alex

[RockSP]

Man, I put this on my pull list but my @#$%ty shop somehow missed issues 3 and 4. So I can't read my other issues until I get those in...

[K. Tindall]

My favorite book right now. For reasons that should be perfectly obvious to anyone paying attention, but still... Great stuff. Alex and Riley put 100% into this book, and it shows.

[BrikHed21]

OK, last night I read issues #6 and #7 and really liked this book. I wish I would have picked this up sooner so maybe I would have been a little more shocked by some of the events in #7....

SPOILERS

It was great to see Proof go ape-____ (for a lack of better terms) on the poachers. I am curious to see how this animal side comes out at times and how he can control those urges (maybe a little full-moon, mating season action will kick in at some point and we will see if Proof can starts to hump Ginger's leg).

I am also curious to figure out what is going on with the Lodge and did they sell Proof out? ...and why? Lots of little story lines starting to develop here. Then there is Autumn - wow, what is her motivation? Is she just a disgruntled about not working in the field or is there something more?

END OF SPOLIERS

I wil be grabbing the trade to catch up on the first five issues. This is a great series and I really like the creative team. Riley's art is a pefect compliment to the story and I hope that Fiona stays on the book with colors (I know she has the Jack Hamksmoor thing mini) because it all comes together to work perfectly. Looking forward to issue #8 and finding out who really is the main course after all is said and done.

[DKnobius]

Man BrikHed you are everywhere!!

It's cool though dude, we need to get the word out to everyone about this excellent book.

[Xeero]

Man BrikHed you are everywhere!!



Haha! I said the same thing to him in the Jay Faerber and Dave Hine forum. :D

[DKnobius]

Sorry I can not wait any longer to talk about issue 7.


****SPOILERS BELOW****








1. Dover Demon telling "Little Dog" he would be dead by Tuesday. Excellent...had to read it a couple times to actually make the connection between litle dog and Dachsaund.

2. Autumn Song?!?! God I hope she turns out not to be what she looks like she is. I like her.

3. Ginger and Elvis dealing with the "baby" dinosaur was just great. I had expected something more like "Dino" size, but the predicament of dealing with much larger "baby" is a good twist.

4. Missed the back matter, but loved being able to see some of Riley's revisions. It seems like everyone of them made the book, and look better. Love the fact that he doesn't just phone it in, but is putting out some great stuff. Seeing how he revised the pages, and still got it out on time shows how dedicated to the book he and how great an artist he is.

5. Fiona Staples colors. Just terrific. Wish she could stay, but I'm sure the next colorist will be good too.

6. Alex'swriting and character development is always great, and this issue was another example of that.

7. The cliffhanger ending! I didn't expect to see that!! I loved the conversation between Ginger and Elvis about the gunshots, leading up to that. I hope Proof gets to kick the crud out of that little dude with the glasses!.

That's all for now.

(and Alex if you see this I did it again, but with edits this time)

[jackwtweeg]

Great Issue.

I love Dover Demon, he really freaked Lawerance out. Elvis and Ginger.............

Autumn Song..........hmmmmm. Curveball.

Proof totally ripped ____ on that guy. Awesome.

[BrikHed21]

Man BrikHed you are everywhere!!

It's cool though dude, we need to get the word out to everyone about this excellent book.

Yeah I get that "I get around" look from people all of the time. When I find a book I like I will pimp the heck out of it. I am embarrassed to have just stumbled across PROOF but I am here now and there is no getting rid of me.

[BrikHed21]

Proof totally ripped ____ on that guy. Awesome.

Yes, Proof went "ape-____" on that guy, bullet holes and blood on the sweater, no problem I will dispense with the pleasantness and get down to business... NICE

[jackwtweeg]

Next issue it looks like this trend will continue.


I cant wait for that "Julia" arc in the past with Springheel Jack

[BrikHed21]

Looking forward to issue #8 - just sad to see Fiona gone on colors for this book, she does a fabulous job.

[Alex Grecian]

I can't wait for that "Julia" arc in the past with Springheel Jack

Oh man, you have no idea how excited Riley and I are to get to that arc. There's one more arc between "The Company of Men" and "Julia" (and it's a fun story too; don't get me wrong), then we get to start exploring Proof's long sad life.

I've been waiting more than a decade to write Julia's story. I can't tell you how good it's gonna feel to finally put this out there in front of readers.

Meanwhile, this summer's Monster Pile-Up book gives a little taste of Proof's past in a five-page story called "Manifest Destiny." The comic is just $1.99 and features all-new stories from the regular creative teams of Astounding Wolf-Man, Firebreather, Perhapanauts and, of course, Proof.

"Manifest Destiny" shows Proof's first meeting with human beings. He was 12 years old.

Plug over. :rolleyes:

-Alex

[BrikHed21]

Firebreather, Proof, and Wolf-Man are all favorites of mine so I am on board for this.

[DKnobius]

Have to make sure I get that ordered at my LCS. I don't want to miss it.

[Pcm979]

I'm not pleased with the loveable long doggie known as the Dachshund being associated with that nasty man. >:(

Can't wait. Monster Pile-up sounds good

[razorwing77]

I really like this book, but I swear I can't get my LCS to order me copies of it. I end up getting about every other issue, and I order the rest online. Great book, though.

[Xeero]

Yeah, I was planning on doing that but I didn't want to be spoiled and wanted to know a lot of the stories and characters first that way the events of 7 would be more of a surprise for me.

I can attest to that! I have been fortunate enough to get some art from Riley (which I'll post as soon as it's framed) and some sketch's he did. I think it took me 3 or 4 days to find them all! Riley's great! :D

Monster Pile-Up sounds very cool. I'm sold based solely on the 5-page Proof story (not that I don't also collect Firebreather and the Perhapanauts). When will this be solicited?

Thanks Alex. I think that it is so cool that you come to talk to your fans on message boards. I also visit the Proof board on Image's site. You and Riley are doing great work and Proof has quickly become my favorite read. Keep up the good work. I promise to keep buying as long as you have a story to tell. (When you need a break, let me know, I have a 2 page story to tell) Thanks for this awesome comic.

[Alex Grecian]

Alex

Trade or no trade tomorrow? Don't tell me what you think....give me Proof!! Any update? :)

Well, clearly no trade, but I have no idea what's going on. I'm trying to find out and will post an update as soon as I know when it'll be in the store. I promise.

You know, this is gonna sound really cheesy, but I can't believe that you come talk to me. Seriously, Riley and I are very happy to talk to anybody and everybody who's willing to take the time to read our work and respond to us. And if you just lurk and don't respond, that's cool too.

We're painfully aware that this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum. Because you're willing to pony up three bucks a month, we get to keep telling this story that we love about these characters we love. Thank you for reading.

Glad to hear it. It sounds like to have a lot of great arcs coming up for us. Also, all of the back-ups you have (behind the scene stories, research books you read, etc) are really interesting and a nice touch. Do you think that you and Riley will be able to make it to Wizard World Chicago?

[Alex Grecian]

Goatsucker news...

:(

There's been a delay in getting the trade from the printer. We don't know the exact new release date yet, but we'll post it as soon as we know it. The book has been printed and Image has advance copies of it that were shipped a different way than the bulk of them. So it exists. Really.

Just one of those things.

-Alex

[BrikHed21]

I think the trade might be and urban legend - like Bigfoot or something.

I will patiently wait and chase down the individual issues. I want me some PROOF!!

sounds like a job for Prufrock to me.

[GuitarSmashley]

How much did he charge for it, if you don't mind me asking?

Because we're wheeling and dealing I really would prefer not to say.

But having comics from the 70's and 80's is a real good way to get a good deal.

[scorpion mk]

I'm loving this series' second arc, it's great, my favorite character is The Dover Demon (cool name), I was really iffy on this book until I read #7, but it was a great issue

It's always cool walking into Another Dimension Comics (here in Calgary) and seeing Riley scribbling away on an issue like 3 or 4 months down the road, I got him to sign my copy of #1, next time I go in I might bring #'s 2-7 and see if i can get him to sign those aswell

I wonder if they'll make a distinction between the sasquatch and the yeti's, or just treat them as the same thing, I always thought of them as different things, very similar things but they are know to live in very different climates and such.

Proof should cross over with Kirkman's Walking Dead at some point it seem's like it'd be a good match, and make for a lot of fun

keep it going guys it's a blast

[Alex Grecian]

Not saying no, but there are no current plans for a Walking Dead crossover. Stay tuned, though, for an upcoming guest appearance by a major Image Comics character.

And thanks!

-Alex

[Xeero]

Guest appearance by a major Image character?!? Dammit, Alex, why couldn't you tease this AFTER I get the trade?! :mad:

[scorpion mk]

Interesting, very interesting

[BrikHed21]

For some reason I think Dragon would be a natural crossover. Maybe Proof investigates to see if Dragon was a kid's pet flushed down the toilet or something.

I suggest you take another look at issue four, in which I refer to the American Kennel Club's assessment of the dachshund (here, I mean the breed of dog) as "remarkably clever and couragous."

You seem to have dogs and ex-miltary big game hunters of German descent mixed up. One is called wiener, the other Werner. ;)

Sometimes Alex is too smart for me - I need to read and re-read his posts... and then look up the important concepts on the internet.

Trade news?

[GeraldKeefer]

Hey guys don't post here at the 'rama too much but wanted to throw my hat into the Proof fan club! Just a fantastic book that I anxiously await every month. This is the best reason to get Previews and I've been preordering since issue #1.

Thanks to Alex and Riley for making a great story. Cheers!

[DKnobius]

Amazon has the shipping date listed as May 21. Diamond apparently has June 11 (thanks to "Kinetic" Kelly Tindall for that info).


Info on the Trade shipping date.

[BrikHed21]

It cannot be soon enough...

[thefourthman]

the trade is definitely not shipping to shops this week....

however, I am getting a copy of SEVEN SONS!!!!!!!!!! this week.... it is the book they did before Proof. I can't wait!!!

Plus I have my awesome Proof t-shirts now!

[BrikHed21]

I got impatient on the trade so I hunted down the first 5 issues of the series... have not had a chance to check them out yet but I am psyched. This is a great series.

[BrikHed21]

This is the official countdown to Issue Eight http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Unfortunately we have to wait an extra day next week due to a silly holiday. Sure I am glad for an extra day off of work, and I look forward to the Indy 500 (born and raised a few miles from the track so it just one of of those things that you either get or don't), and I will get to spend more time with family and friends but at what cost? An extra day to wait for PROOF - I am not sure it is worth it http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif

We all know what the next book is about but as a reminder, here is the solicitation information....

PROOF #8

Written by Alex Grecian, art and cover by Riley Rossmo.

"Company of Men," part three. Will Ginger reach Proof in time to prevent him from being dinner? Of course she will. But another Lodge agent bows out for good this issue.

32 pages, $2.99, in stores on May 29.

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0802/20/proof8.jpg

[thefourthman]

FYI: Seven Sons was really cool, it is the GN from SIT/Planetar that Grecian and Rissmo did prior to Proof. It was a neat take on an old familiar fairy/folk tale. Rissmo's art has greatly improved since that early work and Grecian is a more accomplished storyteller now, but it is well worth seeking out.

I will have to give that a try. I actually just was able to pick up the first 5 issues of PROOF last week but have not had a chance to read them yet (hopefully this weekend I will free up the time). Anyone who is not picking up PROOF this week is going to get a vist from me and my friend bigfoot - understand?

This thread has inspired me..... Proof volume one is in my cart@Amazon

That is what I like to hear - another fine individual that have come to their senses and seen the light... seriously though, I believe you will find this to be one of the most creative books on the market. Great writing and daring art come together to make a smart, fun book that you won't want to put down.

Let us all know what you think once you read the trade. It is also not to late to jump in on the current arc. Many LCS still have issue #6 and #7 in stores now and #8 comes out this week.

[DKnobius]

Proof #8 is coming tomorrow.
Can't wait to see how Proof gets out of his predicament!

Did you read the preview - he is so freaking funny even in the face of death....

"I have an MBA"

[DKnobius]

Yeah I read it. I usually try to avoid them though, because I don't wanna spoil the book. But it looks awesome!

[BrikHed21]

EVERYONE BUY THIS BOOK

...sorry had to be said :eek:

[jackwtweeg]

I got it today. Its awesome. Dover Demon is king.

[BrikHed21]

Alex & Riley - OK, issue eight has been purchased, transported, and read... I have four words to say "I hate you guys". I swear the book is only 10 pages long because I find myself needing more when I get to the end.

****SPOILERS & DISCUSSION****

Speaking of gettng to the end - nice hiding Autumn in the airport at the very end. I always flip back there to look at the next issue and was pleasantly surprised.

Love how Proof handled the Colonel - nice to see our hero is not above doing what should be done because it is morally questionable. Also I am happy to know that he is not a tighty-whitey kinda guy. That might have ruined the book for me. The team seems to be pulling together here and Ginger seems to be fond of her new partner after trying to shoot him on the first meeting. Riding the dinosaur was a great touch as well. It was also great to see Demon getting so many speaking parts - even if I need Yoda to translate what he is saying. Though he did talk about fairies eating the flesh off of somebody and we all know that when Demon talks he knows something http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I didn't realize that i needed to buy two issue though to be able to enjoy the great mask on the back http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif you guys seem to be having a lot of fun with all that you do in this book.

Totally unrelated to anything - I loved the pinup and the color job. I seriously looked at that and thought I would love to see part of an issue drawn like this (maybe a dream sequence) but it was just wimsicle and fun. I might just contact that little girl to draw art for one of my ideas (we all think we can be writers you know).

Overall = great job guys. I am still for the long haul because I have PROOF.

Kelley - Archie is a great add on to the book. I enjoy getting through Proof, looking at the back cover, reading letters and other stuff and taking a 5 minute break to go back and see what Archie has going on. I really feel like I am getting 2 comics for one and I hope you guys find ways to keep him in the mix or making apperances in the future.

****END of SPOILERS & DISCUSSION****

Do yourself a favor and pickup issues #6 thru #8. It is a great arc to get started and you will not regret it. I challenge you to buy this book, or the upcoming trade and not feel like you got more than your money's worth. What is the worse thing you are out? A few bucks? Seriously you can buy a great book with incredible art cheaper than a gallon of gas.... do yourself a favor and check it out.

I live in Chicago - it is a real problem down here. Apparently they don't venture North of the border though.

Meh, you won't get me mad on that! Too excited! :D Plus, new trades tend to have a nice lovely smell to them too! I will be sniffing Proof in glee!

HAHAHA!!! You are so cleverly corny that it's funny and awesome at the same time! :D

[BrikHed21]

It really is the best tag line going right now... Alex and Riley are smart cookies there with that one.

[thefourthman]

#8 was awesome by the way, I love what they did to the german guy (i'm not even going to attempt at remembering how to spell his name)

Alex... Question... Would an international covert consortium that polices crytids really be concerned about whether or not their arrest would hold up in court? My guess is spooks don't care.

Trade is out this Wednesday - people you need to give this book a try. At only $10 what do you have to lose? Seriously right now $10 is barely going to get you a couple gallons of gas.

TRY THIS BOOK!!!

[DKnobius]

Everyone better get on the Proof train before it's too late and you can't get the issues. Like Brik has said the trade hit's Wed. and it's an excellent way to give the book a try on the cheap! :D
