    Hello

    Hi, my name is Andrew Goletz and I've been self publishing a comic anthology called The Gathering for the past two years. I've done freelance work for both Marvel and DC as well as Del Rey but I'm most proud to have been able to put out 7 issues of the book and help nearly 100 creators get an opportunity to have their art or stories printed for the first time. While our focus is on new creators comic pros like Gail Simone, Sterling Gates, John Jackson Miller, Josh Fialkov and Mike Lapinski have also contributed (which helps get attention for the book, too).

    I was looking for another writer's forum and while I write comics mainly I just like being around writing folks. If anyone is interested (and I hope they are) we're in the middle of an Open Submission period where people can pitch to any of the new themes announced.

    I'll try to do a good job of participating as much as possible. I love message boards.

    Welcome to WF, Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,
    Great to meet you!
    Interesting intro, you have a broad talent and have been busy exercising it. Unfortunately my art is stick-man and I have little awareness of comic books. Maybe you when you are settled you could put up a thread on them. I'd find it interesting.

    I'll post something in the hype thread. I have no ability to draw either but I do love comics so I rely on the talent of others to make it a real collaborative effort
