Silence & Co.
Hi All,
I wanted to post a quick note about our new graphic novel, Silence & Co., being solicited this month by Crystal Productions through Diamond, and available in shops May 2013.
The story of a young hitman taking on the world's most powerful criminal bank, the book is a 176 page, black and white original graphic novel.
Art has been provided Ron Randall (Alien, Star Wars), letters by Eisner winner John Workman (Thor, Marvel 1985), cover by Eisner winner Steve Lieber (Whiteout, Shooters), and written by me, Gur Benshemesh (Morgan St. Watch Co.).
RRP on the book is only $9.99, and the Diamond Item Code is MAR130990 SILENCE & CO OGN.
We've got a bunch of cool assets to support the book, including:
- Trailer: The first of two trailers, available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=lwxmL1vL6zk.
- 36 page preview: The first 25 pages of the book, along with some choice pages from later on, available in an easily embedded Issuu.com format at http://www.silenceandco.com/retail/preview/.
- Website: www.silenceandco.com, where you can find the solicitation, story and character backgrounds, JPGs, synopsis, art samples and more.
- Solicitation: A copy of our Diamond solicitation can be found at http://www.silenceandco.com/retail/solicitation/.
We've also had our first review in, from CBR's Greg Hatcher on his regular "Cross Hatchings" column, who raved that the book is “enormously compelling– it was almost impossible to put down once I’d started“, and that “It’s very tough and cool, in much the same action-movie, hard-R tradition as other crime comics like 2 Guns or The Losers.” You can check out the full review at http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/03/16/cross-hatchings-for-march-2013/.
Many thanks for taking the time to check us out,

Comments
I wanted to start a new post to share some of the reviews we've had for our new graphic novel, Silence & Co., soliciting through Diamond this month and on shelves in stores May 2013 (Diamond Item Code MAR130990 SILENCE & CO OGN).
1) Cross Hatchings: Greg Hatcher over on the regular Friday CBR Column "Cross Hatchings" called the book "enormously compelling– it was almost impossible to put down once I’d started. It’s very tough and cool, in much the same action-movie, hard-R tradition as other crime comics like 2 Guns or The Losers". He gave the book a Recommendation to Buy, saying it is "well worth your time". Check out the full post over on http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/03/16/cross-hatchings-for-march-2013/.
2) Weekly Comic Book Review: Minhqua Nguyen over on Weekly Comic Book Review gave the book an excellent "A-" rating, calling it "Pulp at its finest. A terrific sample of the genre, proving that you can have sex, drugs, and violence in a story and still keep it classy." You can find the full review over on http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/2013/03/20/silence-co-review/.
We're hoping to have some more reviews come in over the next few weeks, so I'll post those up as well, but please be sure to check our website at www.silenceandco.com for the teaser trailer, a free 36 page digital sample of the book, news and more.
Many thanks for taking the time to check us out, and if you like what you read, please do ask your retailer to pre-order you a copy.
Best,
Gur Benshemesh
I combined your two discussions into one-- I think one discussion can preview your product and track reviews and discussion about it. Best of luck with your project.
