For Immediate Release
January 30, 2008

Mike Imboden, a resident of Frederick for nearly 20 years, announces the first issue of his original comic “Fist of Justice.” Set in the fictional town of Charm City, loosely based on Baltimore, the mighty Fist of Justice exchanges quips and blows with all manner of quirky evil doers.

Hearkening back to an age less violent and dark, Imboden’s characters reignite an innocence and fun in an art form that often takes itself too seriously. The first issue of Fist of Justice hit the stands January 30th and there is a major release party scheduled for Friday February 8th at Beyond Comics in Frederick hosted by Imboden.

The release party will feature free merchandise, autographs, and refreshments.
All are invited to attend.

Mr. Imboden is available for interviews and review copies are also available.

Here’s a 5-page preview of Sword of Dracula/Vampirella
On sale: February 6, 2008, Digital Webbing Press

Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous
by Jason Henderson, Greg Scott, Nick Filardi, covers by Tony Harris and Michael DiPascale
When Dracula, the world’s most dangerous terrorist, loses a key vampire witness to Ronnie Van Helsing of the Polidorium, it’s an all-out war of vampires, guns, trucks and RPGs to get the witness back. And into the middle rides Vampirella, who is picking a side all her own. But will Vampirella and Ronnie’s mysterious past tilt the balance in Dracula’s favor?

In preparation for the release this week of BloodRayne: Automaton, my debut on the title, regular series writer Troy Wall lobbed some questions in my direction.

Troy: What attracted you to write BloodRayne?

Kevin: Fame and fortune?

Troy: I heard that. I can barely keep the paparazzi at bay, and my bank account runneth other with BloodRayne bucks. I even hang out with Uwe Boll on Tuesdays. We play golf.

Kevin: Golf with Uwe? I figured it would be boxing.

Troy: I’m afraid he’d bite my ear off like Tyson.

Kevin: Nah, it was a chance to write a straight-up action story, which isn’t something I typically do. Most of the stories I write are supernatural-horror tales, or crime pieces, or some other combination. So, Automaton gave me a chance to stretch my muscles a little, while tossing in some of those supernatural/folklore elements that I love.

As mentioned in the BloodRayne forum, there’s going to be a RAW III. Packed with the usual cool stuff the past RAW book had — such as sneak peeks at the upcoming mini-series — Tokyo Rogue, Old World Order, Ayano, and maybe even Zero Dawn. Plus some goodies from Prime Cuts.

We’re hoping to have a couple short stories in there as well. Who knows what’ll end up in there. But we know for certain, you don’t want to miss it.

Check out the cover — if that doesn’t scream “Buy Me!” then I don’t know what will. Look for BloodRayne: Raw III in comic shops in late Spring ‘08.
