2025 2nd QUARTERLY EDITION

QEW Publishing's publications

 

 THOM FUEGEL

Behind every comic book and graphic novel that's ever been published and released by QEW Publishing is the result of the due diligence of Thom Fuegel. In 2008, Thom had initially been part of a two-person colorist team with former colleague, Ikeda Berry, where they completed the coloring for the 6-part werewolf mini-series, Blood & Silver. His depth of experience, knowledge, and skills had gradually become integral to QEW Publishing's production operations. He drafted and composed QEW Publishing's standardized pre-press guidelines for newly hired artists, remained closely associated with QEW Publishing, and eventually had become Production Director for all of the imprint's works. His meticulous application of attention to detail with his timely signature finishing touches to this day has enable QEW Publishing to release a total of a dozen titles of comic mini-series and graphic novels. Thom Fuegel has been within QEW Publishing's entrusted inner circle for nearly two decades. In the coming months, a reaffirming course will be plotted to validate that trust more substantially. QEW Publishing will be establishing a new online venture for selling and distributing comics on Amazon Seller and partnering happily with Thom Fuegel.

SNICKERDOODLE LINE

There's been consideration here at QEW Publishing to venture into the realm of producing children's books for quite some time. A discussion has taken place with Production Director, Thom Fuegel, about how QEW Publishing could actually do this. The result has been a proposal to create a new line of story books for children called the Snickerdoodle Line.  Ideas for a total of three projects for children's books for the new line have recently been created and each book already has its own respective title.  The stories that will be produced for each book will determine their comparable industry standard for content and nature. QEW Publishing has a tentative goal to have the Snickerdoodle Line's production up and running by mid-2027. The aim will be to submit the books for consideration of distributorship through Scholastic Corporation.

THE GIFTED #3 

The Gifted #3 Cover

All editorial revisions of the Narrative & Dialogue scripting for The Gifted #3 have been approved by Chad Dulac. We can now proceed forward with the proper formatting of the script to ready to submit for lettering. August 15, 2025 is deadline set for getting this completed. Meanwhile, the matter of a new colorist still remains. Efforts seeking out a colorist to fulfill this need are taking place and a possibly prospect for the job may have been acquired. The challenge then would be confirming the new colorist is able meet the coloring level already set by the previously two colored books. Coloring tryouts will have to be set for quality assurance. We're hoping this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

NEW COLLABORATIVE PROJECT UPDATE

Yaaayyy! Finally!!! We're Free of Snags!!!

It was last reported in the 2025 1st QPQ blog edition  a creative snag had been struck while composing the developing project for  collaborating with writer, Doug Ortega. And as stated earlier, the project's title has yet to be released as the drafting of the proposal was still very much in its infancy. But then came the snag, the horrible literary wrinkle that really needed to be ironed out from the developing draft. It turned out a hiatus to focus on other writings was the way to go. Flow has been restored and the creative processing train is back on track. QEW Publishing aims to have this proposal completed for submission before the end of this month. This project, its title, and more details about it should now be revealed in the upcoming 3rd 2025 QPQ blog edition.
