Media Release -- Every year, the first Saturday in May marks a celebration of comic book culture, as comic shops spanning two continents open their doors to the curious and adventurous public, welcoming them to sample their goods for free! It's Free Comic Book Day, and this year's big celebration takes place on this coming Saturday, May 5th. While Avatar Press has not submitted a Free Comic Book item itself (thus sparing thousands of children from getting their all-too-eager hands on mature titles like Crossed and Ferals), your favorite comic book publisher (that's us!) is certainly getting involved in the experience!
Avatar Press proudly announces that the Zak Penn, the accomplished screenwriter with a half dozen superhero film credits under his belt, will launch his first-ever comic book series, Hero Worship, in July 2012. The six-issue miniseries will be co-written by Scott Murphy (screenwriter of Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and feature artwork by Michael DiPascale.
Media Release -- Avatar Press, a publisher of extreme horror comic books, proudly announces that its new, ongoing webcomic Crossed: Wish You Were Here launched its first episode online today at www.CrossedComic.com. The full-color series, written by novelist Simon Spurrier with artwork by Javier Barreno, is set in the continuity of the wildly successful Crossed series created by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Punisher), and expands upon the premise of a post-apocalyptic world overrun by thrill-killers and psychopaths. Subsequent episodes will be posted on a weekly basis every Thursday for years to come, available completely free to site visitors.
Media Release -- It's the day you've all been waiting for. Crossed: Badlands! Crossed: Wish You Were Here! Crossed: Get Infected! Crossed EVERYTHING!
Media Release -- This just in! The judges of the Ghastly Awards, which honor excellence in horror comics, have announced the 2011 nominees as chosen by writers, artists, and other creators in the comic book industry. This year's nominations include the terrifying CROSSED 3D graphic novel, as well as artist extraordinaire Jacen Burrows (Crossed: Badlands, Neonomicon).
Media Release -- Avatar Press proudly announces the upcoming May 2012 launch of DAN THE UNHARMABLE, an ongoing comic book series written by David Lapham, most easily recognized for his critically acclaimed and self-published STRAY BULLETS series. Illustrated by Rafael Ortiz, DAN THE UNHARMABLE follows carefree amnesiac whose happily low standard of living is supported by dangerous odd jobs – a type he's uniquely suited for, since he cannot be injured or feel pain. The new series returns David Lapham to his crime noir roots, as the invulnerable protagonist is drawn into a modern Hollywood murder mystery involving an old flame and their orphaned kids.
Media Release -- On March 14, Avatar Press will launch the brand-new CROSSED: BADLANDS series, the brainchild of one of the industry's best-selling writers, Garth Ennis. Building upon the success of three preceding miniseries and an original 3D graphic novel, the new BADLANDS series will be published ongoing and bi-weekly. It's a huge, ambitious project that we hope will delight fans, capture a new audience, and generate strong sales for our retail partners worldwide.
