Comedy Meltdown 2: Electric Boogaloo
Meltdown Comics, January 25th

Who needs too-tightly packed tables and a two drink minimum, especially if there’s an option to pick up a Buffy The Vampire Slayer omnibus and a maquette of Sub-Mariner before the show? Arguably LA’s best recurring comedy show in town is tucked away in the back of Meltdown Comics on Sunset once a month, a free Friday night lineup in the store’s gallery featuring top-notch talent riffing large under the harsh glare of a bank of fluorescents instead of the usual spotlight. (Which might not help when it gets a little chilly in that back room, particularly on stormy January nights, but the open bar warms things up a bit. Yeah, I know… free and an open bar. Dude!)

Ascend: World Release Party @ Meltdown

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

ascend_meltdown2008b.jpg

The War in Heaven is reflected in the faces of humanity.  Destiny and hope lay fallow as a universal struggle for command of the higher planes of existence rages unfettered by the will of man.  Angels have turned against mankind, harvesting souls to strengthen their power, upending the eternal balance and placing all creation at risk of obliteration.  Will those that have been banished from Heaven’s army awaken to their true nature in time to stem the rising tide of destruction or shall the forces of flame and shadow unseam the universe and bring about the end of enlightenment?

ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION is a new 200-page hardback edition that features seventy additional pages, remastered artwork and a completely reimagined tale that takes the reader futher into a post-apocalyptic Heaven that is consumed by the Purgatory Wars.

Writer/Creator Keith Arem and Post-Production Artist Kristian Hedman will be signing copies of the new volume and screening advance previews of ASCEND: DIVINATION, the digital web series based on the hit book.

IDW Publishing releases ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION nationwide on January 15, 2008.  The trailer from the novel and high resolution color images can be found online at www.preparetoascend.com

PCB Productions and IDW Publishing will be hosting the launch party for the long anticipated release of ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION at Meltdown Comics on Friday, January 11, 2008 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.  We hope to see you there!
