Exclusive Look at JFH Season 1 TOMORROW at Hero Meetup XXVI

Heroes,

We have a SNEAK PREVIEW of the first scene from JFH Season 1 and we need YOUR VOTE on whether the series should be widescreen or vertical format. We’ll screen the scene so you can share your thoughts TOMORROW at Hero Meetup XXVI. RSVP here and we’ll see you at 8pm EST/5pm PST on Zoom.

Some context: Jan has been live-editing JFH Season 1 on Twitch and TikTok for the past few weeks. We are still solidifying our visual style for the series and would love your input on whether vertical or horizontal format hits the hardest. If you recall in JFH Season 0, the first episode was horizontal while the rest were vertical. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each format at tomorrow’s meetup.

This scene we’ll show tomorrow stars Ruben Brizuela as his original hero Tai Chi Wonder. We met Ruben at our second Hero Meetup in NYC all the way back in 2018. Now, he’s one of the most active creators in our community. You’ll also get your first look at UFC fighter Brendan Weaver as Cowboy (Season 1’s big villain) and Irene Lee as a JFH Client based on herself.

RSVP here. See you soon.

TODAY: Live Q&A w/ Comic Book Veteran & Martial Arts Champion Jan C. Childress (aka Jan's DAD)

Heroes, Villains, and Clients,

Hero #0 Jan here. Today at 8pm EST / 5pm PST I will be interviewing my father, Jan C. Childress, for ReelwUrld's The Value Add Podcast.

We'll discuss his career in comics as a critic and writer (including writing the original JFH comics - get a free download on the JFH App via the banner on the wUrld page). We’ll also touch on his experience across Marvel, DC, Valiant, Defiant, and other publishers, as well as how comics and martial arts (he’s a 4X world champ) combined to influence the foundation of what we’re building together as a community at JFH and ReelwUrld.

I'm particularly excited to discuss my father's unpublished Silver Surfer book for Marvel that planted a seed in my 10-year-old mind that stories needed to be told with community participation. You're welcome to join us on Zoom for the live recording and Q&A. RSVP here.

And Happy President's Day!

With Love,

Jan L.
