Gathering is a self published anthology series featuring original stories by some of the most talented up and coming writers and artists in comics.
Most of the creators involved were friends who gathered together from the Jinxworld forums with the common goal of putting together a comic book for the 'fun of it' but it quickly became so much more.
The first edition of Gathering, The Thing With Feathers: An Anthology of Hope will be available this July.
Please add 3 dollars per book and 50 cents shipping for every ten copies ordered

Submission Details
Writers- Please email the volume you want to work on and a short description of your idea with a suggested page count if applicable. Full plots and scripts are not wanted at this point. Two to three sentences about your story is all we need. If you are interested in submitting ideas for more than one volume you may do so, just follow the guidelines listed for each issue.
Artists- Please email me a couple examples of your work. Sequential art preferred but not necessary. Internal pages are in black and white so keep that in mind. Also include a preference for which types of themes you would be interested in working on so you can be matched up appropriately with a writer.
Artist/Writers- Follow the guidelines for both.
Guidelines- The Gathering is an ‘All Ages’ title and we’re looking for material that reflects that. Darker and mature themes are fine (as our light hearted and cheery) but language, gore and sexual content should be on a level suitable for readers of all ages.
While we can not pay contributors to The Gathering at this time, creators who have their work featured in The Gathering will retain sole ownership of their characters.
Publisher of Gathering, co-writer of The Life of Reilly, in-depth analysis of the Spider-Man Clone Saga. Freelance writer for DC/Eaglemoss Superhero Magazine, The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe and Del Rey.
