The Slightly Askew Adventures of Inspector Ham & EggsCaptions & Balloons is Cookin’ Up Some Breakfast

A few ticks back we brought y’all of the World news of indie scribe Stephen Lindsay‘s Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack-Jaw Blues comic with the FIRST EVER review of the now massively in-demand trade paperback published by Alterna Comics.

Well, Lindsay is at it again. And again, WE have the scoop, bitches. Lindsay has reteamed with JHZ artist Lauren Monardo on a new comic offering from left-of-center with The Slightly Askew Adventures of Inspector Ham & Eggs.

This time, instead of simply releasing a graphic novel, they’re taking Ham & Eggs to the Web! Today marks the launch of the series with Page 1’s publication here. And every Wednesday, the creators will be publishing a new page on the site. Once the initial story arc is complete, word is the pages will be collected and published as a graphic novel. And to mark their “Launch Week Extravaganza,” they’re releasing Page 2 on Friday, with Page 3 to follow next Wednesday.

The Slightly Askew Adventures of Inspector Ham & Eggs follows the adventures of portly Inspector Ham and his plucky sidekick Eggs as they try to keep the citizens of New Pork City safe from the impending threat of Baron Von Blackforest and his myriad of minions.

I’ve been lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the first few pages and I gotta tell you, this comic is like a children’s book on crack. I definitely recommend giving it the time of day.

You can check out the comic at its official home on the web – captionsandballoons.com. Oh and as an added bonus, you can check out their production blog for character designs and all sorts of extra info.

 

Atomic Robo, Free Comic Book Day EditionAnd The Action Science Will Continue… for FREE!

As the final issue of a planned six-part arc for Red 5’s Atomic Robo sets to hit shelves March 19th, fans have been waiting on word of the fate of the sell-out series (#1 is already in its third printing. Well deserved, guys!).

Well, as if Free Comic Book Day wasn’t already the BEST day of the year, the magnanimous masterminds over at Red 5 comics just announced that the runaway smash-hit will be leading the, um, charge on this year’s Free Comic Book Day with a 16-page one-shot that pits Robo against a pack of ’60s-style Russian Comm-Bots. The FCBD release will also include an all-new adventure from Red 5’s dinosaur epic, Neozoic.

Look for ’em at your local participating comic shop on Free Comic Book Day, which falls on May 3rd this year. Consider yourself notified, bizzle.

 

Five Days of Steve Niles at HorrorYearbook.comFive Days of Steve Niles at HorrorYearBook

To coincide with this week’s DVD release of 30 Days of Night, every day this week fellow lovers of comics and doom over at HorrorYearbook.com are publishing a Steve Niles-related article. They kicked it off Monday with a great interview by HYB staffer Mike Fish, and will be continuing the mayhem with DVD, comic book, and book reviews for the remainder of the week.

Here’s an excerpt from Monday’s interview:

Thank fucking God! That was my response. It was a life-changing experience. I’d just quit my job with McFarlane and things were looking pretty bleak when the offers came along. It was a thrill. I’m naturally suspect of Hollywood because of the track record of messing up properties, especially in comics, but with Raimi attached I felt pretty good about the whole thing.” — Steve Niles’s response to his comic 30 Days of Night being made into a feature film.
