TEMPLAR "WAR OF THE INDEPENDENTS" TRADING CARD

A few years back, my friend David Ryan, began the ambitious task of doing a crossover featuring comic's independent creations. It's called "War of the Independents" and when you think about it, there are thousands of independent creations out there and to say the project is ambitious is an understatement. It's almost crazy! But David is pulling it off and doing amazing work. The first issue of the book is scheduled to be released at this years NYC Comicon in October and Luciano Vecchio and I are very proud that David has included our character Templar from SENTINELS in it. I'm excited to read the story and see so many great characters interact. And in addition to releasing the crossover, they are also doing a trading card set featuring many of the characters from the series and Templar is featured on one of those cards. I was given permission from David to show the art that Luciano did for the card. It's great to see Luciano draw Templar again and obviously from the costume he's wearing, this would fit in between SENTINELS book 1 and 2. Cool, huh?

Any information on where to get the books and cards? A website or something?

I think Dave Ryan (the guy behind this crossover) is setting something up. I know he has a facebook page that he's been posting a lot of preview art on. I'll ask him about the ordering and website.

I will! Issue #1 will debut at the NYC Comicon next month and they are supposed to have the card set there too. :)
