This is the listing for "George Perez's Sirens #1".  Speaking as a collector, can't say that I'm thrilled at so many variant covers... especially because those incentive covers are really expensive if you are not a dealer.

WHY WE LOVE IT: The name George Pérez should say it all, but we are beyond excited to work with one of comics’ living masters on his own original title. He’s worked on great female characters like Wonder Woman and Scarlet Witch, but this, a team of female heroes of his own creation, had us hooked.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: It’s a sci-fi adventure story that spans time and space, featuring a team of female heroes that kick butt across the universe. If you like strong female sci-fi characters like Battlestar Galactica’s Starbuck, Star Wars’ Princess Leia, and Alien’s Ripley, you’ll find nine reasons to love GEORGE PÉREZ’S SIRENS!

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save it—but is that even possible when the Sirens themselves don’t even remember who they are? And the rest of the universe only remembers them as…villains? A six-issue, bi-monthly miniseries featuring your new favorite comic book team, written and drawn by the master himself, George Pérez (Wonder Woman, JLA Vs. Avengers) begins his greatest story yet. Scroll down for all six covers, and then many more solicitations!

AN ADDENDUM TO MY CASTING CALL

I've been getting a wonderfully large number of volunteers and so many have already sent your photos, and for that I am grateful. There are a few specific types I'm still looking for, though and, while I can just simply create the faces, I'd still like to get a chance to use as many live models as I can, even for parts that may not be all that glamorous or even likable.

Now, at the risk of spoiling the story for anyone--although these requests will no doubt elicit more confusion than clarification--I currently have need of a couple of Japanese Samurais, young Japanese geishas.

I'm also looking for an African-American woman over 30 for a small part similar to the role Viola Davis played in THE HELP. I'm also looking for a black male to be in a one or two panel scene with her.

These last two roles may be the toughest roles to fill due to the sensitive nature. I can understand a modern black woman being adverse to portraying a maid and for a black man to be portrayed in a similar function. However, the roles are not going to be negative or condescending portrayals--just going for some historical context in the storyline which has a scene in the 50s era South..

Of course, some of you are being cast in rather unsavory roles-- many at your own request, so maybe I'm being a little over-cautious in the name of political correctness, but I just needed to make myself clear that all this is being done for entertainment and the desire to involve my fans in some of that enjoyment, if they want to. The parts mentioned are little more than cameos and could easily be filled by fictional faces, but I will leave that totally up to all of you. No offense meant and none will be taken.

As with all the other casting, the deadline for photos is January 31st, by which time I will have to use whomever I have in my list for the first SHE-DEVILS story arc. Thanks for your attention, consideration and understanding

WHO WANTS TO BE A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER?
CASTING CALL FOR GEORGE PEREZ’S SHE-DEVILS!

Hey there, everybody! As many of you know I am currently working on a creator-owned series for BOOM! Studios called SHE-DEVILS. After many months of setbacks due to my medical issues and the time it took to develop the first story arc, I am finally ready to begin penciling.

As some of you may also know, as in my previous short-lived creator-owned project CRIMSON PLAGUE, my desire is to populate this series with as many friends and fans as the story will allow. While I have already cast my lead characters and several other parts, there is still a need for many more roles to be filled and, thus, this open “casting call”.

I am looking for characters, male and female, of all shapes, sizes, ethnicity and age. Some parts will be fairly significant; others will be little more than cameos. Some may have their real names used (if agreeable); others may be playing characters that by plot necessity will have fictional names. Most will be portraying humans; some may be the basic models for aliens. Some will be heroic; some will be among the vilest of villains. Some will live; some won’t be so lucky.

And, of course, everyone will be drawn by me. It’s my way of letting my fans in on the fun, and I am particularly hopeful that this will inspire the cosplayers among you to dress up as your character at upcoming conventions. The idea of a big photo shoot with as many live SHE-DEVILS characters gathered together really excites me and watching fans and friends being asked to autograph copies of the books they appear in is my way of sharing a bit of the celebrity spotlight that I’ve been privileged to enjoy for four decades.

So, for those of you who may be interested, and even for those whom I have already approached, here’s what I will need from each of you.

Photos. Plenty, plenty of photos. Especially headshots, like animation character sheets, wherein you provide as many expressions, moods and angles as you can manage. Face forward, profile, three-quarter shots, looking left, right, up and down, even looking to the rear. Happy, sad, angry, worried, confused, surprised, playful, passive, assertive. Smiling, frowning, sneering, screaming, gritted teeth, pursed lips, whistling, grimacing. I think you get the idea. Every emotional and dramatic expression you can think of.

I know this may be asking a lot, but I really do want to have as big a library as possible so that every drawing of each respective character bears at least some resemblance to the model An acceptable alternative would be video for those who have done some action stuff in that format. And for those who have their own websites with suitable photos, a link would also be perfectly acceptable.

Now, please understand that, however many responses I get, there is no guarantee that I will be able to use everyone, or even a majority of those who wish to be part of this. However, if the first story arc is successful, I will need characters for a follow-up, so don’t fret that you’ll be totally left out.

Also, this is not a paying gig. The only compensation for any of you is the hopeful thrill of seeing yourself as part of a comic book drawn with as much tender loving care as I can manage.

So, if any of this does interest you, please send links to photos, vidcaps, videos or websites to my email at gpzpacesetter[a]mac.com.

For those who wish to send photos or videos by regular mail, please contact me by e-mail requesting my mailing address (I may open a PO Box specifically for this). You can also send me messages through my Facebook pages but please understand that sometimes messages get lost among the many others I receive here.

So, that’s my spiel. To coin an old, but now appropriate, phrase, see you in the funny papers!

Okay! It's now official!

The title of my new series for BOOM! Studios is SHE-DEVILS (taking the title from a one-shot fan comic I did just as I was turning pro in 1974.) This is the first promo art spotlighting the nine lead characters. Just as I did with CRIMSON PLAGUE years ago, I'm using real people as my models and inspiration.

Beyond the characters shown here, I've already enlisted a good number of friends, fans and members of my extended family to appear as characters in this series and will likely be needing to ask for more, especially those in the cosplay community. I'm imagining a big SHE-DEVILS photo shoot some time in the future with everybody playing his or her own comic book alter ego!

Pictured here are:
Top Row: Bombshell (Meg Taylor), Ammo (Camille Elizabeth Bishop) Barrage (Miracole Burns)
Center Row, Agony (April Hunter) Highness (Margie Vizcarra Cox),Figurine (Chan Graves), Kaje (Akira Lane)
Bottom center: Fanisha (Phoenicia Flynn), Backround Interface (Sherita Dunbar)

I am definitely in the market for more cast members, so if you're interested and I haven't spoken to yet (or even if I did), please feel free to send me a private message. Please note that, while I would love to use everyone who wants to be in this series, there's no way I can fit everyone, so please don't take it personally if I don't use you.

This should be FUN!!
