DECEMBER
2007:
This has been a stellar year for One Shot
Productions. This year saw the release of our ninth title, MIDNIGHT TRAIN,
the launch of our pin-up art and webcomic pages, and the addition of our very
popular daily blog. With my commitment to work on
something for my comics every day, production is moving at a faster pace
than ever before. I've made a lot of progress personally in my style of
art, which is due largely to the fact that I spent so many nights drawing
for "Bamboo Grove" or the Shadowlord project. I've met some great new
artists who should fit nicely in the One Shot team. And with my tenth
title already finished and at the printer, things are already lining up
for the year ahead! -Jay W. Davis

2007:
Introducing our newest
addition to our website:
WEB COMICS
!!

prologue to the events of "MIDNIGHT TRAIN," our newest book. Moving
forward, we will be adding new webcomics as well as short previews of our
full-length comics.
New postings on the PIN-UP ART page from Nelson Forero and Brian Wiedlin.
ONE SHOT PRODUCTIONS had a great time at WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO on August 9-12. We met a lot of great new artists, and got our newest book MIDNIGHT TRAIN into the hands of new readers. Writer Jay W. Davis and artists Mike Jenkins were on hand to meet readers and sign copies of the new comic. We already got some great feedback while at the show and in emails!
The BLOG is still going strong! If you're a fan that wants some insight into how a comic is made, see what we're up to in our daily account of what it takes to create comics for One Shot Production.
July 2007:
Artist Curtis Rhodes (Vertex,
Death:Accidental, Stoic) has signed on to illustrate a new story for One
Shot Productions. The title of this project has not yet been released.
We'll have more details later, but what we can say now is that this
project is in response to fans asking for something in the sci-fi genre.
This particular sci-fi story will feature some serious robot-on-robot
action! For more on the progress of this book, check out our new One Shot
blog.
Blog / Web
Journal page added to the site. Check it out see what we've been up to
since the last time you visited :)
And don't forget to make plans to see us at the Wizard World Convention next month, Aug 10-12.
June
2007:
We had a GREAT time at the
Philadelphia Wizard World. This was our second year in a row to represent
One Shot Productions at the Philly show, and it was a blast! I'd like to
thank everyone who bought something from our table. I hope you'll remember
to email some specific feedback to let us know
what you thought of the books. Our biggest seller this year was our new
zombie book, MIDNIGHT
TRAIN. Second place honors go to VERTEX, and third place
was a tie between our most controversial book (FALTER) and a comeback
from our first ever book from 2001 (TORPEDO). We had a lot of
requests for something in the sci-fi genre, and I definitely have 2
stories in mind (One that's sci-fi / space, and one that's some good old
fashioned robot action like the comics I grew up on). If you missed the
show and haven't picked up MIDNIGHT TRAIN yet, then email me at oneshotprez@yahoo.com and ask how
to order one!
-Jay W. Davis, Writer / Editor
April
2007:
MIDNIGHT TRAIN is back from
press! We'll let you know as soon as it's available for purchase online
through ComiXpress, so check back right here! It's a zombie story unlike
any you've seen before, and a bonus short story featuring our own MORTEM
BRAND. Don't forget to add MIDNIGHT TRAIN to your myspace friends list at
www.myspace.com/oneshotogburn.
March
2007:
Check out the new art
posted in our pin-up gallery!
February
2007:
One Shot Productions is
assembling talent for a multi-chapter, multi-artist story. The book will
showcase very different art styles, while telling one solid tale. If
you're interested in being a part of this project, contact oneshotprez@yahoo.com with any
questions. And don't worry, we may be doing another multi-artist project
in the future. If you don't get in on this first one, we may still want to
work with you on the next!
January
2007:
Our newest comic, MIDNIGHT
TRAIN, has been finalized and set to release in March or April.
October
2006:
VERTEX is available directly from Comixpress, so buy
yours today!
Check out our featured page
for a preview, or friend us at www.myspace.com/oneshotvertex
.
This is the first year of the brand new comic convention known as CON-SEQUENTIAL (Oct 14 &15). What made this comic con so different is the show's focus toward educating up & coming writers / artists as well as their very hands-on approach in their 'cartooniversity' classes. One Shot Productions was represented at the event, and we enjoyed meeting a lot of other Indie press creators and some writers and artists just getting started. We're looking forward to next year already. Thanks, Con-Sequential!
September
2006:
VERTEX is back from the
print shop! This marks the third release from One Shot Productions in
2006. VERTEX is the story of Theron Phoenix, a great thief who gave up his
wicked ways for the love of a woman. Now that his love has passed away,
Theron is being blackmailed into his old way of life. What's worse is that
his daughter, Allie, is being held by the heartless blackmailer!
Check out some preview pages here!
This title
is not yet available for purchase through our online store at Comixpress,
but check back! We'll add the link to purchase VERTEX online as soon as
they add the title to our online store.
The art for our next title, MIDNIGHT TRAIN is all done thanks to Mike Jenkins. We'll be prepping this one for release in Spring of 2007, probably by March. This one is really shaping up to be a creepy tale, so stay posted for more details soon!
August
2006:
Chicago Wizard World '06
was an even bigger success for us than Philly! We nearly sold out of
DEATH:ACCIDENTAL!
Our next book, VERTEX, features a very different lead
character. Theron Phoenix was once a master thief until he gave up his
dishonest trade for the love of a woman. When Theron lost his beloved
Marian to an illness, he gained full custody of their daughter, Allison.
Now the corporate fat-cat Harbinger has blackmailed Theron into being her
personal thief, and she holds Allison in a beautiful prison.

Jay W. Davis & Illustrated by Curtis Rhodes
Look for this one to
become available through the website sometime in September.
Oh and one more note for
August...
There has been talk lately of a previously released title
from One Shot Productions becoming a mini-series. It's too early to say
much about this project, but we expect to release the first issue of this
5 or 6 part series sometime around mid 2007. That's all we can give away
right now, but there will be more information posted on this site as it
become available!
June 2006:
Philadelphia Wizard World '06 was great! We got
to meet a bunch of fans, and introduced some new readers to One Shot
Productions. DEATH:ACCIDENTAL was easily our highest selling book this
time around! We'd like to thank everyone who picked up a copy, and we hope
you'll let us know what you think with an email to oneshotprez@yahoo.com. We can't
wait to hear from you! Also, big thanks go to all the new readers who
bought ALL SEVEN of our current releases Enjoy your free T-shirt guys and
gals! We're ready to do it again this August in Chicago. See you
there!
