New YORK, NY: Super Genius Comics, in partnership with WWE, will be launching in comic book shops December 11, 2013 with WWE SUPERSTARS #1, the first in a new ongoing series written by WWE Hall of Famer and New York Times best-selling author Mick Foley. The series is the first collaboration to come out of a licensing deal between WWE and Super Genius’ parent company, Papercutz Graphic Novels. The new series is already creating a buzz, with wrestling fans around the country referring to the launch date as “WWE-DNESDAY”.

“Wrestling fans are used to looking forward to Mondays and Fridays,” explained Super Genius Publisher Terry Nantier. “Now they have another day of the week to get excited about. We’re working closely with the WWE to ensure that these new comics tie in closely with the WWE storylines and the spirit of the franchise. These definitely aren’t your dad’s wrestling comics!”

“WWE’s Superstars are truly larger-than-life, with the kind of personality and raw power that makes a comics page crackle with excitement,” said Super Genius Editor-In-Chief Jim Salicrup. “It’s the kind of action and drama that’s just perfect for comics, and Mick Foley is just the WWE Legend we need to make it happen.”

The first issue will be sold with 4 collectors’ item variant covers by superstar creators Alitha (Iron Man, Batgirl) Martinez, also the series’ artist, Dean (The Fox, HBO’s Bored to Death) Haspiel, Michael (Walking Dead, Spartan X) Golden and Jill (Sandman, Scary Godmother) Thompson, with a special limited edition cover by Miran (The Crow, X-Files) Kim in select comic book shops across the country.

With extensive online buzz in the wrestling fan community, comic book fans shouldn’t be surprised to find their local shops even more crowded on a Wednesday than usual.“The response from the WWE fans has been terrific,” enthused Super Genius VP of Marketing Sven Larsen. “Like traditional superhero fans they’re incredibly passionate about the athletes they follow. And it’s great to see that passion expressed in things like WWE-dnesday. I’m looking forward to seeing fans talking about ‘capes and costumes’ at one end of the comics rack and arguing about ‘heels and faces’ further down the aisle. It’s going to make for an exciting day on December 11th and plenty of other Wednesdays in the months to come!”

WWE: SUPERSTARS #1 by Mick Foley and Alitha Martinez is available in comic book shops nationwide on December 11th, 2013. To find a comic shop near you go to http://www.comicshoplocator.com/ or dial 1-888-COMIC BOOK. Digital copies will be available on a day and date release schedule at Comixology.

Darby Pop’s City: The Mind in the Machine
from Bill, November 26th, 2013 10:24 pm, comic book

Darby Pop’s City: The Mind in the Machine
Lines Blur Between Man and Machine

San Diego, CA (November 25, 2013) – From the minds of writer Eric Garcia (Matchstick Men) and artist Javier Fernandez, Darby Pop Publishing’s City: The Mind in the Machine will make its debut this February!

“Practically every day in the news there’s a story about a new interface between man and machine. We’ve gone from punch-cards to keyboards to touchscreens in a matter of decades, and direct brain-system connections are already being explored,” said writer Eric Garcia. “Between that and the ubiquity of wireless networking, we’re living in uncharted territory — which is why I’ve been so excited to tell the story of CITY: MIND IN THE MACHINE. It’s been a thrill working with Javier and Darby Pop to explore these concepts and bring this world to life.”

Surveillance is everywhere, like it or not, and Ben Fischer has helped to build the world’s most powerful surveillance system, Golden Shield.  By utilizing every camera, cell phone and computer in San Francisco, Golden Shield was designed to help battle the city’s crime.  But what Ben Fischer quickly finds out is that something that powerful never comes without a price and that his creation cannot properly function without a human brain to operate it.

This action-packed series takes a look at what it means to meld man and machine as well as explores the roles security and technology play in modern society.

Eric Garcia is a screenwriter and novelist, author of Anonymous Rex, Casual Rex, Hot & Sweaty Rex, Cassandra French’s Finishing School For Boys, The Repossession Mambo, and Matchstick Men, which was made into a film starring Nicolas Cage and Sam Rockwell and directed by Ridley Scott.  His novels have been published in 22 countries and translated into 14 languages.

Nov. 25th,  2013 – Los Angeles, CA - Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce the December debut of Ryan North’s first original print comic book series THE MIDAS FLESH, marking the launch of the publisher’s new imprint, BOOM! Box.

Featuring art by North’s ADVENTURE TIME comic partners, Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, THE MIDAS FLESH is the first title to come out under BOOM! Box, a line of books aimed to allow some of the most creative talents in comics to let loose with their wildest ideas. To highlight the series and imprint launch, the inaugural issue will contain extra pages of story and art. THE MIDAS FLESH #1 will ship with a main cover by John Keogh and variant covers by Emily Partridge (ADVENTURE TIME), and Noelle Stevenson (ADVENTURE TIME WITH FIONNA & CAKE, Nimona). The first issue will also feature the first original “Writer’s Edition” incentive cover, where North will hand-letter varying character dialogue on each variant cover.

“Ryan, Shelli, and Braden are nothing short of magic,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Their work on ADVENTURE TIME is literally some of the best storytelling we have in comics, and they’ve very deservingly been recognized with a host of major industry awards. Now, we get to see them bring a brand-new world to life. There’s few things in comics I’d rather see more.”

WHY WE LOVE IT: We have been having so much fun with writer Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics, To Be Or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure) on ADVENTURE TIME that we couldn’t resist the opportunity to publish a new original idea of his. And it is original.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: We’ve all heard of the Midas touch. You know, the Greek Myth about the man who did a number on himself by wishing for everything he touched to turn to gold? Who better to turn that tale on its head with a heavy dose of sci-fi than Ryan North? Also, did we mention the Utahraptor?

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Fatima and her space crew have decided to return to Earth—a planet completely sectioned off, abandoned, and covered in gold—to find out exactly what happened to this once thriving planet and see if they can use that knowledge against the evil empire that’s tracking them down. As luck would have it, they just landed the most powerful weapon in the universe: some ancient dead guy’s body.

The over-sized debut issue, THE MIDAS FLESH #1, arrives in comic shops on December 18th with a cover price of $3.99 under Diamond order code OCT130966. Not sure where to find your nearest comic retailer? Usecomicshoplocator.com or findacomicshop.com to find one! It’s also available for order directly from boom-studios.com.
