| Savage Dragon Backs Obama - 28/08/2008 |
Last week it was announced that Savage Dragon, the superhero / police officer whose adventures have been published by Image Comics, is throwing his hat in the ring for Barack Obama. The news is blared across the cover of issue 137, with the green-skinned hero dressed up for the occasion in a black jacket, crisp white shirt and striped red tie.
Larsen is pleased with his story, which will mention Obama, though the senator will not make an appearance in the issue. “He’s not slugging bad guys or anything like that — although that would be cool,” Larsen says.
The new issue goes on sale next week, with one in five copies sporting the Obama cover.
For more information check out the New York Times and the Huffington Post.
Another thing worth noting, is that I had the great pleasure of coloring said issue of Savage Dragon. Which means, with Erik's blessing, I can show off five pages here before Newsarama, CBR, IGN and all those other fancy comic related sites.

| Love as a Foreign Language Omnibus - 9/03/2006 |
Oni Press is pleased to announce the May release of the first LOVE AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE OMNIBUS, a trade paperback collection containing the first three installments of the romantic series by J. Torres and Eric Kim.
When Joel signed up to teach English in Korea, he thought it would be, well, he can’t really remember what he was thinking when he signed up anymore. His time in Korea has been nothing but misunderstandings, unfortunate food choices, and homesickness, and he can’t wait to go home. Luckily his year is almost up. But now that he’s met Hana, a beautiful young woman, all he can think of is staying close to her. Can he overcome the culture clash to be with his true love? And even if he can, does she understand that he loves her, or is it just another misunderstanding?
"One of the things that people may not know about us at the Oni office is that we’re all suckers for a good love story," commented James Lucas Jones, Oni Editor in chief. "J. and Eric have created a romance that is funny and sweet and poignant; one that deals with the reality that the road to love isn’t always a smooth one."

| Monsters Fighting Monsters in The Cemeterians - 4/03/2006 |
Who better to fight monsters than monsters? In The Cemeterians by Gilgrim, SLG's newest comic book series, readers will learn that the answer to that seemingly-rhetorical question is "Nobody." A rag-tag group of monsters and misfits led by a sexy mad scientist, the Cemeterians must keep the world safe from evil-doing baddies. But will they drive each other crazy in the process?
For Gilgrim, The Cemeterians is all about having a good time. "It's basically a big excuse to draw a Halloween-styled world where monsters and other weird creatures can hang out and have fun doing all the weird and wonderful things that the monsters in my heads would actually do in such a place," he said.
The Cemeterians might disagree with their creator's idea of "fun," however. In their adventures in their eponymous comic book, Marla, Jack, Franklin, Thadius and Caitlin spend their time slogging through sewers, poking through graveyards, generally finding themselves in the last place anyone who values their life, limbs, sanity and personal hygiene would want to be. Marla is the slightly crazy brains of the Cemeterians, Franklin the naïve and good-natured abomination of nature that she created, Jack her crotchety dark sorcerer older brother. Rounding out the crew are the siblings' apprentices, Thadius, a quiet, reluctant monster, and Caitlin, a brash Irish lass descended from a banshee.
The Cemeterians will be released bi-monthly, beginning in May 2006. It is available for pre-order now through comic book stores. To see a preview, visit SLG Publishing's website, www.slgpublishing.com.

| Oni Press Announces Borrowed Time - 22/02/2006 |
Oni Press is pleased to announce the debut of BORROWED TIME, a dramatic new series of mini graphic novels by Neal Shaffer, the creative mind behind ONE PLUS ONE and LAST EXIT BEFORE TOLL. Mystery is at the core of this story that begins with a trip to the Bermuda Triangle and proceeds to get even stranger.
Taylor Devlin has a great life. He has a great apartment, a loving girlfriend, and a job that allows him to travel around the world. But when a writing assignment takes him to the Bermuda Triangle, his life takes a turn he could never have anticipated. Returning from a mysterious accident at sea he finds a different world than the one he left, and he finds himself with the challenge of getting back to the life he knew and the woman he loves.
"When most people approach the idea of something like the Triangle it's usually from one of two places," Shaffer explained. "It's either to explore it from a kind of sci-fi/conspiracy angle, or to debunk it. For me it's more philosophical than that. Like, 'what if it there really is something to it...then what?' That's where the story really starts.
"From there it's really a non-scientific take on the idea of time as a concept that's not absolute, and through that I try to get at the human side of such a situation. I mean, imagine the dread of realizing that you've slipped into a world that's just a few seconds away from what you had come to know and love, but those few seconds may as well be years, decades, forever?"

| Planet Hulk is a Smash! - 12/02/2006 |
Retailers and fans agree, PLANET HULK is a hit. After just one issue, this epic story destined to return Hulk to greatness, is being hailed as an instant classic, a legendary storyline that comic fans will be talking about for years to come! Echoing those feelings, the first issue of this epic – Incredible Hulk #92 – has sold out at Diamond!
This is the biggest Hulk story to come about in years, and it looks like it’s exactly what the fans and retailers wanted! Don’t take our word for it, here’s but a few examples of the universal praise this story is earning:
"PLANET HULK is the first great ‘Hulk Smash’ epic of the 21st Century!" - Carr D'Angelo, Earth-2 Comics
"Customers can't get enough of this tale, which brings mystery, suspense and action back to Banner's alter-ego. It's like a Gamma Bomb to our racks, the way stacks of this comic are being decimated." - W. Alan, Silver Bullet Comics
"I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. Apparently, our customers have been, too, as it's already selling well ahead of our projections!" - Chris Powell, GM of Lone Star Comics / mycomicshop.com
"Believe the hype! I admit I was a hard sell myself but our customers have spoken with authority and with only one day on the racks, Planet Hulk has already outsold every other Hulk issue from the last six months. Thanks Marvel." - Robert Scott, Owner Comickaze Comics Books and More
"The Hulk is finally good again! Fan-HULKING-tastic! This is the new, fresh Hulk story I have been waiting on for years. Must Have!"- Hilary Goldstein, IGN
"HULK SMASH PUNY COMIC WORLD! ‘Nuff said!" -Steven Olsen, Little Shop of Comics
This is one series you don’t want to miss! There are no plans at this time to go back to press on the first issue, and this epic event will not be collected until the last issue has been released, and that is a long time to wait! So, be sure to add this title to your monthly pull list. Don’t be left out! In other words:
"This is gonna be fun!" – Hulk, Incredible Hulk #92
