NY Times Covers Y: The Last Party

Unless you’ve been off-planet this past week, I’m sure you’ve see news of Y: The Last Party everywhere.

Yesterday the illustrious NY Times ran a piece on it. You can read that here.

The VIP tickets were an instant sell-out, but if you’re in or near the LA area and still want to attend, fear not! A limited number of standing-room-only tickets will still be available the day of the event for $25. For all details stop by the CBLDF MySpace page.

Ascend: World Release Party @ Meltdown

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!

Felipe Smith, Tonight at Meltdown

Felipe Smith is as talented and skilled a manga writer/artist as you will find on any continent, and his work on the latest installment of MBQ is his best yet. This book is one of a very rare handful that can consistently make me laugh out loud, but it’s far more than a humor book. MBQ is funny, true, but it’s also realistic, smart, touching, thrilling, hip, violent, insightful and outrageous. Volume 3, which hit stands last week, is the series conclusion and does an excellant job of tying together the books’ broad cast and seemingly disperate elements into a single powerful theme you can take away with you.

Some of you may remember that I interviewed Felipe last December for my Making Good column. Well in honor of his Meltdown appearance tonight, I’m doing an exclusive follow-up interview with him right here on this blog. Look for it later today.

In the meantime, check out Felipe’s own behind-the-scenes look at MBQ: Deadline Ass-Beating Volume 1

And the details for tonight:
