Proof moving onto next season

With comics rising in popularity it's inevitable that they would begin to mimic other medium. For example, a TV show will finish off a season with a cliffhanger as an enticement to return as a viewer next season. Image Comics is following suit with their book Proof, as answers are about to be unveiled in the issue's second "season." Writer Alex Grecian and illustrator Riley Rossmo wants you to be excited. "While this season of PROOF is ending, the series is just beginning," Grecian said. "Not only do Riley and I have a couple of side projects such as his COWBOY NINJA VIKING, but PROOF takes a very big turn with issue #28. It's a natural place to take a short break. Rest assured we'll be back and when we start again nothing in PROOF will ever be the same." So what's the deal with Proof you ask? Special Agent John 'Proof' Prufrock (Bigfoot) works for The Lodge. The Lodge is an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting monsters from human beings. It's been hailed as a cryptozoological thriller and is looking to carry on the momentum that early issues of the series have established. Proof #28 will hit stores January 27 for $3.50. Full press release below. PRESS RELEASE - PROOF'S SEASON FINALE TO KICK OFF AN ALL-NEW BEGINNING IN 2010! The first season of PROOF ends with an all-new beginning on the horizon! 26 October 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - This January the first season of writer Alex Grecian and illustrator Riley Rossmo's ongoing cryptozoological thriller, PROOF, will come to an end as the two prepare an all-new season coming in 2010! "While this season of PROOF is ending, the series is just beginning," Grecian said. "Not only do Riley and I have a couple of side projects such as his COWBOY NINJA VIKING, but PROOF takes a very big turn with issue #28. It's a natural place to take a short break. Rest assured we'll be back and when we start again nothing in PROOF will ever be the same." In PROOF, Special Agent John 'Proof' Prufrock, also known as Bigfoot, works for The Lodge, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting 'monsters' from the threat of human beings. Since its release the series has received critical acclaim, with three volumes of collections in print and a fourth, PROOF VOL. 4: JULIA, to be available during the hiatus. Both Grecian and Rossmo will remain the regular creative team in the new season, due out in 2010. Rossmo added, "Another reason is to give new readers a very easy jumping-on point. While we've certainly had a great response to the trades, we're making it even easier and more inexpensive than ever to jump on board. If you've never read PROOF before or only do so with the collections, the upcoming new season is your chance to become a regular reader." PROOF #28, a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in-stores January 27th, 2010.
