There will be plenty first issue copies of this new Atomic Basement comic to go around, as well as free candy!! (What do you expect? We'll only be three friggin' days away from Halloween, people!) And of course, Z-Blade XX will be there in person... most likely demonstrating to the shop regulars how he can carve a pumpkin with his new helmet laser. Artist Guy LeMay will be selling his original artwork, as well as signed copies of his past titles from Devil's Due Comics, Viper Comics and other Atomic Basement series. Come check it out! Remember, though, that if you get to the big bowl of candy, and all the Reese's Cups are gone, it was most likely writer Steve J. Palmer, the ultimate bogarter of everything peanut butter.

The Kids of Widney High: Beyond the Sky's the Limit (Atomic Basement) May 2009
Atomic Basement's first book since 2006's Mac Afro: Sleeze N' Crackers! This book was written by the Kids of Widney High themselves with artwork by award winning talent such as Rafael Navarro, Chuck B.B., Robbi Rodriguez, Neal Von Flue, Rikki Neihaus and Jim Mahfood! Check out the amazing cover! And be on the lookout for a world premiere at The Key Club in sunny Hollywood, California!
A Totally True Princess Story (Patton Pending) A fun-for-the-whole-family children's romp! Princess Frankie and Princess Sasha live in the fairy tale world of HooHooHaHa, but when they're magically transported into the real world, they must find a way to help their biggest fan, Tammy Turnipseed, cope with harsh reality.
Mac Afro Motion Comic- The Watchmen are doing it, so why can't we? The difference is that this baby is going to include a full cast and sound effects! That's right. No dudes trying to imitate a woman's voice. That's not Mac's style and it damn sure ain't ours either!
This puppy will be available for FREE on the Atomic Basement website and is based on 2006's smash hit Sleeze N' Crackers by David Walker and Rafael Navarro.
Upcoming projects include the long-awaited NightLife Graphic Novel with Guy LeMay, Guns A'Blazin' with Rafael Navarro and Danny Fanny with Luis Calderon and Chris Patton.
Coming in October 2009 from Guy LeMay:
Z-Blade XX: The first issue of this comically adventurous new series, co-created by Reed Greenfield and Marc Joseph, is written by Steve J. Palmer and drawn by Guy LeMay. It's blade-throwing action as Atomic Basement's newly armored hero, Z-Blade XX, protects the hapless (and mostly clueless) citizens of Lucidity from a mysterious villian known as The Insomniac. With a politically-charged guest pin-up by ARTWORLD DIGEST MAGAZINE's "MetaMechanic" penciller and inker Christopher Booth, this full color, 32-page mag, should either put a spring in your step, or get you to come down off the ledge you were about to jump from after losing your job last month. Heck, if we're fortunate enough, perhaps a little of both! www.zbladexxcomic.info
NightLife: Victoria returns to New York City in:"NightLife,"
a 64-page graphic novel by the GONE SOUTH team detailing her return to New York City.
This one's a LOVE STORY, so bring a blanket.
We're hitting hard and we're hitting strong in 2009! Hang in there kids, Atomic Basement is putting the "recess" in recession!
We'd like to thank Radioactive Energy Soda for their generous contribution to the Atomic Basement Booth at San Diego Comic-Con! That there is some good bellywash! And our fingernails are still glowing from all of the radioactive goodness we imbibed over the weekend. For more info on this terrific beverage (in a glow-in-the-dark can, no less!) check out www.radioactiveenergy.com
We're looking into the rest of the convention season this year and plans include Seattle, Pittsburgh and all up and down the California Coast...
Look for the Atomic Basement cast and crew in the following publications...
Judo Girl Mini-Series (Alias Comics) written by Johnny Lowe, our lettering and production guy and quite possibly the sexiest and most eligible bachelor at the studio...
Dummy's Guide to Danger #3 (Viper Comics) back-up story entitled "Sink or Swim" by the "Gone South/Nightlife" team of Mike Wellman and Guy LeMay.
Released in October
Last Fantasy (TokyoPop) and Kamiyadori (TokyoPop) Mike Wellman is handling the English Adaptations of these two titles from TokyoPop. Last Fantasy is like Monty Python meets Dungeons and Dragons, Kamiyadori is quite the mean little piece of Virus-infected sci-fi.
OUT NOW!
Sonambulo: Mexican Stand-Off written and drawn by Rafael Navarro. Rafael is a one man band, ladies and gentlemen and he's here to rock your world. Check it out!
Joshua Dysart is still swimming from project to project off the mighty shores of Venice, California. His run on Swamp Thing (Vertigo Comics) is wrapping up just in time for him to throw on a loin cloth and pick up his sword to tackle a Conan Mini-Series (Dark Horse) with his old collaborator Tone (Violent Messiahs) Rodriguez. Josh also has a big-time, secret project graphic novel on the horizon with Vertigo and some say he's taken up employment with a certain Paranormal Research company... that boy's busy! Check out his mad rantings at www.joshuadysart.com Can I get an amen? Clap clap!
Brad Rader has just published his first graphic novel "Harry and Dickless Tom". In case you couldn't guess from the title, it's an adults only affair and if you're interested to learn more, check out www.flamingartist.com for a sneak peek and ordering information.
Wow! We're leaving you with just enough spare change to pick up those big crossovers at those other 'struggling' comic book companies... We at Atomic Basement don't need no stinkin' crossovers! Besides, we'd never get our shit together enough to pull one off anyway!
As for "NightLife", the sequel to "Gone South" and Atomic Basement's first graphic novel, fear not. It's still on the way. The story is so big, we've decided that it no longer fits into a simple 64 page graphic novel and we've decided to tell the tale in the full 796 pages that it deserves. Guy is hard at work on page 118 as we speak... almost there!
See you in the funny pages!
