Announcing: Meltdown’s Annual “Welcome to LA” Comic Con Decompression Party 7-26-10
(HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE!)
Join Meltdown Comics once again for the annual, the legendary, the infamous COMIC CON DECOMPRESSION PARTY
“WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES 2010″ Featuring appearances by comic book creators IVAN BRANDON, SAM HUMPHRIES, and FELIPE SMITH! Special appearance and live performance by JANE WIEDLIN of the Go-Go’s and Lady Robotika! Food! Rock! New comics fun!
Monday, July 26 at Meltdown Comics, the Comic-Con Decompression Party “WELCOME TO LA 2010″ takes place in grand style as we welcome back our brother Felipe Smith, cartoonist of the brilliant Los Angeles story MBQ and the wonderfully unhinged PEEPO CHOO which sees its first English language translation in print this month. Felipe left our shores for the distant coasts of Japan on the heels of the Tokyo-Bubble-Pop to pursue production at the source. His drive and the gamble in his heart led him to creative success and now we raise our glasses as the prodigal son returns home to Meltdown to teach us how to deepen your blacks with squid ink, and drink seawater and spit fire in the face of the gods!
Adding a bit of boss to the sauce will be Jane Wiedlin, one of the world’s greatest songwriters and a deadly talent of the stage. Jane is a megafan of genre fiction and has brought her terrifying intellect and rock bonafides to bear in the creation of her new comic LADY ROBOTIKA from Image Shadowline. Jane will be signing her comic and performing a short live set in the Melt Gallery. Be sure to ask her to tell stories about the days when the Tropicana used to be a live music venue. Hair-holding hilarity for all!
Representing from New York City in a rare West Coast appearance is Ivan Brandon, writer of VIKING, Batman, and Doc Savage! The sheer size of his impressive tome will rock your socks off. Ask him to sign it sideways for distant viewing.
Local hero Sam “The Hammer” Humphries will be welcoming the walking dead to Los Angeles, signing his new funk-as-puck CBGB comic book from BOOM! Studios! Check it out and get a FREE limited edition art print by Rob G., while supplies last! He’ll also be signing FREE Fraggle Rock posters from Archaia in advance of the highly anticipated Fraggle Rock hard cover.
All of this augmented by snacktasms served up by the Tastymeat! food truck. Man, I am going to crush a Bamwich the minute I arrive. Check their wares at www.tastymeat.org prior to your arrival and make that line short so we all get fed!
FELIPE AND PEEPO CHOO!
JANE AND LADY ROBOTIKA!
IVAN AND VIKING!
SAM AND CBGB!
MEAT MEAT MEAT!
Not everyone gets a chance to head to San Diego, so we bring the party to YOU!

Los Angeles’ Meltdown Comics Hosts Eternal Descent Comic Book Signing Win an ESP Eternal Descent Graphics Series “LYRA” Guitar For Immediate Release London, UK – Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, CA will host a comic book signing event at 7PM Friday, August 6th featuring guitarist and Eternal Descent creator Llexi Leon. In conjunction with the signing, you can also enter a contest for a chance to win an ESP Eternal Descent graphic series guitar featuring the art of Eternal Descent comic character “LYRA”. For updates about the contest, please visit http://www.meltcomics.com. A winner will be randomly selected from all entries and announced at the comic book signing on August 6th. Meltdown Comics is located at 7522 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046, phone 323-851-7223
Llexi Leon, creator of the multimedia concept ETERNAL DESCENT, recruits ESP-endorsed artists for cameo appearances in the Eternal Descent comic which is inspired by a host of iconic metal musicians. The initial launch issue was released by IDW Publishing on March 31st, 2010 with subsequent issues to be released every 4-6 weeks, spotlighting God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle in issue 2, and Gus G of Firewind and Ozzy Osbourne in issue 3. Other bands including Static X, Atreyu, Children of Bodom, and Soulfly are slated for upcoming cameo appearances in subsequent issues.
Leon began making noise in London, England in 2005. His highly intricate guitar style exhibits the many influences corralled to create his intense sound – from classical, flamenco, electronica, and ambient genres to the more prominent genres of rock and metal. All of these genres infused to one, Leon has built a cinematic metal fantasia with his music which has branched out to a comic book series. His main aspirations are bringing stories to life through escapism. He utilizes everyday events and his vivid imagination to drive him to create more avenues for his multimedia enterprise. To prove its tangibility, Llexi Leon, has recruited artists from Marvel, DC Comics, The Darkness and Magdelina on pencils, inks, coloring:
~ Jason Metcalf on pencils and inks, and a driving force behind detailing the Eternal Descent world, who previously worked on The Darkness and Magdelina.
~ David Rivera will begin inking over Jason’s pencils from issue two and beyond, while Javier Tartaglia and Joel Chua, both veterans of many Marvel and DC comics titles, provide stunning colors.
One grand prize winner will receive one ESP Guitar featuring the art of Eternal Descent comic character “LYRA”. Raffle tickets will be given out the night of the signing with every Eternal Descent purchase and winner will be announced later that night. You can also enter online via the form below (no purchase necessary). Continue reading »
