Note: I was going to post this on Saturday, then it dawned on me that doing so may be a rather poor idea as who gets up early to read a blog on Saturdays? So here it is a couple days early to insure you folks get a chance to plan your Saturday accordingly. Enjoy!
Okay so, first things first, Saturday, May 7th is Free Comic Book Day! FCBD is the one day when you can bop down to your LCS (Local Comic Shop) and get free comics! That's right! It's a great way to find out about upcoming comics, find out about announcements regarding new titles or changes to existing titles, and sample something that you wouldn't usually pick up because it's free.
So, this year I strongly recommend checking out Comic Evolution in Puyallup on the corner of Meridian and Pioneer, downtown by the US Bank. This year Chuck Messinger owner/operator will have a special edition flip book available featuring Zombies Vs. Cheerleaders, and as a special Comic Evolution bonus Steve Franks and Mark Rahner will be on hand to sign it! For those of you unable to attend feel free to go here to pick up the Comic Evolution exclusive cover of the flipbook and if you order before Monday Mark and Steve will sign it for you!
Chuck has some great deals going on for variants and back issues right now as well so feel free to pick up an armload or two while you're there!
Now if you can't make it to Comic Evolution but are in Southern Washington or Oregon check out Odyssey Comics and Coffee in Vancouver, Washington. Josh 'Bile' Cantrell will be there to sign comics and hang out with all our fans :D. Odyssey comics is located at 1503 NE 78th STE 10 in Vancouver and will be open from 9am to 7pm on Saturday. Come on by! They're also having a huge sale and special deals.
Also worth noting is that most libraries will also have some free comic books available, so why not bop on down, purchase your very own signed copy of the Rotten/Zombies Vs. Cheerleaders flipbook, a whole passel of free comics, get some good eats at the farmer's market and then swing by the library for a few more comics?
And while you're at CE or your local shop don't forget to order the newest and best offerings from Creator's Edge Press.
Unfamiliar with Ron English (odds are you know him but don't know that you know him)? Check out his page for more examples of his work and awesomeness. Here's an excerpt "One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books and television. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English’s art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast. "

The second offering CEP has for all the fine discerning readers out there is ZFW:Volume One.
We proudly announce that the full finished first graphic novel of Josh 'Bile' Cantrell's Zombies of Foreign Wars is complete and available for pre-order via Diamond! Featuring the art of Hopscotch Sunday a local Portland, Oregon artist ZFW details the exploits and adventures of a band of irascible vets that battle their way with booze, bullets, bullshit and camaraderie through a zombie infested United States.
A group of emo-teens perform a dark ceremony in a small town cemetery only something goes terribly wrong unleashing hoards of the undead from their graves. The teens panic and flee but only one survives and manages to reach relative safety in the local VFW hall. Once inside the teen pleads for help from a steely band of over the hill, hard drinking, hard cussing, and hard fighting vets. The zombies follow the teen to the hall and all hell breaks loose.
Will the heroic vets kick ass? Hell yes! Will they find the real source of the zombie plague? Will they take names and kick ass across the U.S. in a quest for answers and more booze? Order ZFW: Volume One to find out! Diamond order code:
