Someone did a sneaky signing of Christmapus last night in downtown Las Vegas.

[popgoestheicon]

These dudes are signing copies of the NEW paperback version of Christmapus in Las Vegas next week at Barnes & Noble. OK, technically, in Henderson.

[popgoestheicon]

Christmapus on Kindle? Yep.

@johnbivens is at the MCAD library today, Russell Lissau is at the Blue Box Cafe in Elgin, Ill., and then again at Defiant Comics next Saturday. Did we mention the OLD WOUNDS trade paperback is now in stores?

Get on it, Minneapolis!

It’s not often enough that we publish truly all-ages comics. We do love our adult-oriented crime and mystery tales, but we also really like the idea of kids reading comics! That’s why we’re happy to present the latest issue of OMEGA COMICS PRESENTS, featuring Russell Lissau and Dirk Tiede’s story, “Stranger.” As you can see, it looks great. It reads great. AND ... it’s available for only 99 cents on ComiXology, ComicsPlus and DriveThruComics, so it’s kind of crazy if you don’t download it to your favorite digital reading device. (And print lovers, we’ll have a special paper edition coming next week, hang tight.)

Fun stuff coming your way this fall, beginning with OMEGA COMICS PRESENTS: STRANGER, which debuts on ComiXology this Wednesday. Check out the entire fall publishing schedule!

Appearing in this month’s edition of PREVIEWS: OLD WOUNDS, the trade paperback. It would be very cool if you pre-ordered your copy by Sept. 18 at your local comic shop. We made a printer-friendly version of this flier you can take into your store this week!

Just for the Tumblr crowd - A first-look at the cover to OLD WOUNDS Vol. 1 by John Bivens, coming November to comic and book stores everywhere. SHHH.

On a recent episode of the Basement Fodder podcast, Todd and Dave fancast OLD WOUNDS, including Kurt Russell as Michael Lane, Katee Sackhoff as Detective Hess, Anthony Michael Hall as Jack Emerson and Willem Dafoe as Tommy Blass. Who would YOU cast in a film adaption of OLD WOUNDS?
