New Publisher, Kickstart Comics, Releases Three Debut GNs in October
Kickstart Comics is a new publishing venture from Kickstart Productions, one of Hollywood’s leading production companies specializing comic book and genre properties. Kickstart has a simple motto — to make good comics for a wide audience.
Due to launch in October with the three debut titles in the August PREVIEWS, Kickstart Comics intends to release twenty-four unique titles over the next 12 months. Kickstart has teamed up with Jimmy Palmiotti (profiled on the PREVIEWSworld website this month) to oversee this initial run of hardcovers available ONLY through Diamond retailers.
The new books will be an eclectic range of great storytelling from top comic book creators and established Hollywood writers such as Mark Sable (Hazed, Unthinkable), Adam Freeman & Marc Bernardin (Monster Attack Network, Genius), Joshua Williamson (Dear Dracula), Jeff Amano (Fade From Grace, Cobbler’s Monster) and B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick) and such artistic talents as Jim Fern (Fables), Lee Moder (Wonder Woman, X Factor) and rising star Julian Totino Tedesco (Unthinkable).
Edited by Jimmy Palmiotti (Jonah Hex, The Pro, Painkiller Jane), with covers by Amanda Conner (Power Girl, The Pro) & Darwyn Cooke (DC The New Frontier, Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter) !
A great quality product for a good price at $14.99. All Kickstart books sold through Diamond are hardcover editions — no shrink wrap, no dust jackets, just a good matte finish.
All books will be stand alone, full-color, hardcover graphic novels.
Kickstart's first three titles are available now to order. Learn about Kickstart Comics and their upcoming books at http://kickstartcomics.com/.
