6 years ago Ryan Cain and myself got together and came up with an idea for a comic book company. \u00a0We wanted to create stories that hadn’t been seen in comics. \u00a0We worked our asses off during that time to try and build a company that would provide innovative ideas to the geeks out there.<\/p>\n

What started out as just random discussions between 2 fanboys has grown into what you see here today.<\/p>\n

In 2010 we put out our first comic book, \u00a0Z.K.S. Zombie Kill Squad<\/a>. \u00a0While it wasn’t our first idea for a comic book, it certainly wasn’t something we regretted. \u00a0With the help of Justin White<\/a> and Bryan Kreusch<\/a> we managed to create something that has taken off like crazy. \u00a0Our #0 issue of the comic was the best selling comic book on New Comic Book Day. \u00a0We were also able to have a booth at Free Comic Book Day with some amazing people. \u00a0We did a signing at San Diego Comic Con and had booths at A.P.E.<\/a> and various other conventions where we got to meet some of the greatest fans.<\/p>\n

We held 2 contests in 2010. \u00a0The first was the Z.K.S. Pinup Contest<\/a> which saw dozens of talented artists submit their pinups of Z.K.S.\u00a0members and Zombies. \u00a0It was amazing. \u00a0The second was the Join The Z.K.S. Army<\/a> contest which saw people show up to a convention dressed as Zombies in hopes of seeing their likeness drawn into our comic book.<\/p>\n

Other achievements this year included the\u00a0acquisition of new properties and the printing of 3 issues of Z.K.S. It also saw the growing of Forbidden Panel to include new writers, reviewers, and much more. \u00a0We welcomed Janelle and Craig Vendeville, Brandi Auset<\/a>, Andrea Emmes<\/a>, Sean Dortch, and Lynn Paulus to FPs roster. \u00a0Our website has hit over 200,000 hits a month and our little podcast has reached it’s 73rd episode.<\/p>\n

201o was an amazing year for us and we want to thank each and everyone of you for sticking with us. \u00a0Our fans are\u00a0absolutely\u00a0amazing and hands down the best fans in the world. \u00a0We are very\u00a0grateful for every single one of you. \u00a0It amazes us that we actually have fans and we do our best to show our\u00a0appreciation.<\/p>\n

Now 2011 is upon us and we have such sights to show you. \u00a0This year promises to be even better than last year and to prove it we are starting it off with the Inland Empire Comic Expo<\/a>. \u00a0We’ve contacted all of the friends we made in the past year and collected them into one\u00a0convenient\u00a0location close to home so that you, the fans, don’t have to travel far to experience a fun time. \u00a0It’s going to be phenomenal.<\/p>\n

So, again, thank you everyone for helping make Forbidden Panel a great place to be. \u00a0You liked us in 2010 and in 2011 you will love us.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the people behind the scenes. \u00a0You have helped make a dream come true this year and I love every single one of you.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned to FP in 2011. \u00a0 \u00a0We’re not even close to being finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
