HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 1st is often a day of taking stock in where you have been in the past year and where you want to go in the new year. At Hero Shack, we too have been looking back at last year’s successes as well as the area’s that we need to improve Hero Shack. We have specific plans of where we want to go in 2025 and are excited to accomplish the goals we are setting for this year.

The Great Cyclopian series is winding down and all 12 issues will complete by the end of 2025! Currently issues 1-9 are available on Amazon.com. Feel free to check them out here: The Great Cyclopian

Currently, we are planning our comic con schedule for 2025. We hoping to do more smaller venues, but will definitely plan to attend some larger ones too. Stay tuned for our upcoming comic con schedule coming soon!

“The Cardinal of Justice,” a black and white graphic novel, is currently being completed. The targeted audience is 18 plus. The story is arc covers many century’s and will offer the reader a walk through history. Let me just say this, the artwork is AMAZING! We will begin crowdfunding soon for “The Cardinal of Justice” and will offer a pre-launch page, look for further details in the weeks to come.

We will be revamping our online store and adding more merchandise. As stated before, you can still find all of the Great Cyclopian books on Amazon.com plus we still offer a free read here right on our website, just click on the comic tab!

Until next time, be well.

Leave a comment

Saturday, October 14th, was a pleasant fall day for the second annual Comic Book Fest! Families and fans alike came out to meet the seventeen Independent artists from a vairey of genres.

A new addition this year was the Cos-Play Contest! We had a great turnout by cosplayers ranging in ages 3-adult. The three age categories produced 1st, 2nd and 3rd place all were awarded a prize. The Cos-Play contest brought a very cool element to the fest.

We held creator panels again this year. Our guests did a great job answering questions. This is one part of the fest we tend to improve on for next year.

From inddependent comic book creators, authors, illustrators and artists, the fest was a huge success. We are already in the works of planning next years third annual Comic Book Fest!

A huge thank you to The Athol Public Library and a special thanks to Emily and Robin, and of course to all of the people who took part – we could not do this without all of you!
