Our Very Own Randy Zimmerman comics veteran with the Arrow Comics claim to fame has had one of his older books reviewed recently and I think it is a great example of what you might be missing if you aren't familiar with Randy's work. So if you missed it before check out this review of Caliber Comics War of the Worlds "Haven and the Hellweed" written by Randy Zimmerman.

Another great title that was reviewed by this site was Randy's other War of the Worlds title "The Memphis Front" from Arrow Comics

The Motor City Aftermath... and An introduction to Rage!!
I would love to say that the Motor City Convention was a smash success because in many ways it was We had William Loebs (writer on THE MAXX) and several others with us. Novelist P.S. Ramsey was on hand to sign her new primer preview book for her "Legerdemain" Novel. We also had the Dark Elf Debut of "The Sorrow" Created by J.S. Earls for more information CLICK HERE We Showed up at the Motor City Convention with No printas and half a table less than we had bought not to mention the 1/2 tables that we got were spread over four rows instead of right next to each other. Thanks to Roberto of Core Studios who came up with a great solution for setting up so everyone was all good then. About the time we got set up was when I realized I had not brought any prints to the show.
All in all though things Still went well at the show and 2 time Pullitzer prize nominee Mark Messler came to the show and stopped by the booth to chat it up with yours truly I also recieved a great Moonshadow sketch by Art Baltazar whom you may know as the creator of "Patrick the Wolf Boy" God willing I will put that up later.
Now I'd like to introduce everyone to my Newest creation that I am working on Hopefully he will be a great character in his own upcoming full color comic/ graphic novel everyone, meet GRIMMSTONE!
if you can't view him here check out my MySpace page www.myspace.com/briangermain

The Absence of Presence
Spring is well... springing! and any Dark Elf Fans and many members know what this means.. it's the spring edition of the Motor City Comic Convention. for those of you who didnt get money to us in time to join the group just ask to be by Derek Baillie, Brian Germain, Roberto Armstrong and that should just about do it but there are no guarantees beyond this point.
I have been ultimately preparing myself for a move in venue for my personal life in addition I have been cleaning off my dinosaur of a computer that is incredibly full of dark elf related material, and attempting to switch over to a newer faster stronger much meaner machine. this new mahine will also help me fix some e-mail problems many of you maybe realize the e-mail is bouncing alot... why you ask? because it is getting that full, that fast!!! anyway dont think by any means that we are down for the count because from where I am standing we are just getting started. However if we have been too busy to get back to you just keep resubmitting or sending us information every month or so and we will do our best. forgive our dust and currently slow turn around times.

Dark Elf Goes Full Throttle into 2006
First off lemme apologize for being impossible to reach as of late. I'd like to say that it wasn't on purpose but parts of it were. Between being very busy and dealing with real life I haven't been able to focus on the web aspects of the company like I'd like to.
With that in mind Let me let you in on the latest and greatest news that I have to share. Aside from the spring edition of the Motor City Convention Speeding it's way toward us at a rapid pace, 2006 will bring us into new territory with Dark Elf Designs. Long awaited contracts have been nearly finished in the polishings we hope to get them out before the convention. A new year brings new investors, new members, and new potential investors. I am hoping these contracts will help seperate the men from the boys and the women from the girls by keeping those who are really serious about sticking with it and making something, and getting rid of those who are just on the website because it helps make them look credible. Though this is partly what the website is about I want people to make no mistake we ARE a business with the interest of making money and now we are a corporation so the interest in making money has grown. this has it's ups and downs obviously but hopefully in this instance the ups will outweigh the downs. Those who aren't serious about doing good work will not benefit much but those who are will benefit a great deal.
On a sad Note I have just found out that Jasmine Grey a beautiful person model and friend of mine from the conventions died in a car accident on december 10th if you know who she is and would like to make donations to her family for a headstone please check out www.jasminegrey.com
On a brighter not however I have just re-aquired an investor for "The Sorrow" #0 by J.S. Earls and crew. If I can attain the book again Jeff and his crew have waited patiently for over a year to get this important piece of literature published. so hopefully there is no more complications with it. We may even truy to solicit to Diamond once more after it is published(printed) but at this point I am not holding my breath.
I am also still crossing my fingers from the investor as a said agreement isn't always a sound one but this one looks pretty secure so anyway hope you are all having a decent year so far and I look forward to the rest of this one.
