Atomic Robo TPB Volume 1: Atomic Robo &amp; the Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne<\/span><\/a> Written by Brian Clevinger Art by Scott Wegener<\/span><\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1923, Nikola Tesla’s career is in its twilight until he unveils a robot with automatic intelligence — ATOMIC ROBO! After decades of dealing with all manner of weirdness, ATOMIC ROBO and the so-called ACTION SCIENTISTS of TESLADYNE became the go-to defense force against the unexplained. See ROBO take on Nazis, giant ants, clockwork mummies, walking pyramids, Mars, cyborgs and his nemesis, Baron von Helsingard, in his first trade paperback graphic novel. This edition collects the hard-to-find, sold-out, debut issues of ATOMIC ROBO #1 through #6, complete with cover gallery, pin-ups, concept sketches and bonus stories. Created by Brian Clevinger of 8-BIT THEATER fame.<\/p>\n

Great adventure comic that is sure to appeal to fans of Invincible<\/span> and Hellboy<\/span>. You’ll be hearing more about this from me in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buffalo Speedway Volume 1<\/span><\/a> by Yehudi Mercado<\/span><\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

Every pizza Boy has a story.<\/p>\n

Figgs is a lifer. He’s 23 years old, he’s been delivering for Houston’s Turbo Pizza for eight grueling years, he lives with his dead-beat best friend, Super Cheese, and he’s got a supreme crush on his Friday Regular, a rich girl named Pia. Life sucks, but it’s about to get suckier. This day is June 17th 1994. Today the Rockets will battle the Knicks in the NBA Finals, America will host the World Cup and OJ Simpson will lead the LAPD on a slow speed chase. These will cause a perfect storm of events, keeping a nation at home, watching TV, resulting in the BUSIEST PIZZA DAY EVER.<\/p>\n

In the One Bad Day<\/span> tradition of Harlod and Kumar Go to White Castle<\/span>, Clerks<\/span>, and Do the Right Thing<\/span>, we gp deep inside the dangerous world of pizza delivery drivers.<\/p>\n

They’re fast, they’re furious, they’re f***ing your wife!<\/p>\n

Creator Yehudi Mercado offered the most inspired promotion of the show: pizza gift certificates with a purchase Buffalo Speedway<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hit Point High Sneak Preview<\/span><\/a> Written by Paul Benjamin &amp; Yehudi Mercado Art by Mercado<\/span><\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hit Point High is the realm’s preeminent adventurer’s academy. The students will one day be the greatest warriors of Midway Earth, battling the darkest evil and protecting the righteous. This is not the hero’s story. This is the tale about Kenny (a centaur) and Booney (a minotaur), the other guys. The underachievers who would rather get high in the boy’s room than protect the highlands from barbarians. The only quest that Kenny and Booney will accept involve getting stoned or gettin’ slayed.<\/p>\n

More mythical high school hijinks with the creator<\/a> of Pantheon High<\/span>. Though unlike the previous, High Point High<\/span> is definitely NOT for young adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo Official Program March 6, 2010<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Handed out to each attendee, this 24-page, staple-bound program book offers far more than just a schedule of events and map of the exhibitor hall. Uncle Staple and his crew wisely included 14 pages of fresh alternative comics. Like the show itself, the STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo Official Program showcases a diverse cross-section of the cartooning world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
