A First Salvo to New York Comicon!

What a weekend! A First Salvo Partner Garan Madeiros and Danger's Dozen illustrator Norm Breyfogle braved the MASSES at the 2008 New York Comicon and what a convention it was! Hordes decended upon them as copies of Danger's Dozen #1 through 3 and DD:Interlude were handed out alongside CONTRACT #0 with previews of work from the ongoing and a short story by Kevin Sharpe! Illustrated by Ariel Padilla, Contract follows bounty hunter Jessie Garrett and her crew - Panzer and Tsumi as they accept dangerous contracts and bounties. In fact ComiXology http://www.comixology.com/promotions gave away several more of our comics at the NYCC and lucky visitors were sure to find them at their booth, our booth, inker Mark McKenna's booth and several other sources.

There's more to come in 2008, as Contract begins in June and Danger's Dozen continues, following Contract's launch, with a Danger's Dozen promotional issue and the latest three-issue arc - where the action hits and doesn't stop - with a stunning new 64 page issue with guess stars from the indie worlds - Nexus, Badger, Bomb Queen, Doc Thunder, Steelgrip Starky and War Dancer - as Aman crosses worlds battling against the Lemurian General Ariss!

A CONTRACT with The Danger's Dozen!

The Danger's Dozen storm the globe!

From reviews on Broken Frontier to interviews at Newsarama, Jazma and the Pulse, the Danger's Dozen has hit.

Danger's Dozen #2 ships very shortly after the posting of this entry, and much more is to come. Contract is underway and looking great, with some awesome art coming in from the talented Kevin Sharpe and Mark McKenna on inks. Check this image by contributor Dave Ross!

Further work on the mega issue of Danger's Dozen #6 concludes with guest stars NEXUS, BADGER, DOC THUNDER, STEEL GRIP STARKEY and more! That's right, as reality collapses, Aman fights his way across other WORLDS!

That's just fun comics.

Danger's Dozen #1 in stores December 5th!

May the shipping fates have mercy on us! Diamond ships Danger's Dozen #1 into stores Wednesday December 5th!

Long in coming, the Danger's Dozen tells the tale of ass-kickin' Boss Aman and his team of mad adventurers - the Danger's Dozen! They BELONG to Danger! They compete for the right to bitch-slap the devil and stand up against threats to the earth!


As reality is threatened and earth's destruction is foretold - Aman gathers his force to hold back the end and fight for the future.


BETTER CALL THE DOZEN!

LOBSTER WHO?

Hellboy mini-series Lobster Johnson artist Jason Armstrong, illustrates Danger's Dozen stories that rock. With caricature and exaggeration, his style is a mixture of cartoon and old Kirby power. Add to that the colors of series colorist Gabe El-Taeb, and you have some powerful art. Jason keeps it fun, exciting and simple. Things are full of action and right on the money when it comes to the bare bones of the story. It is a joy to see the script evolve to finished pages of Saturday morning cartoon proportions! And we're talkin' 80's action cartoons, baby! That's right - "half-hour toy commercials"! ;)

His slick style and fun attitude is just part of what makes the Danger's Dozen such a fun book. Jason's first work for the current issues (but not his first on the Danger's Dozen) was the short tale of how Boss Aman - mysterious man of action - discovered the powerful and ancient Wadjet Eye! Wadjet WHAT? The All Seeing EYE! of course. The Eye that is always with Aman in each issue of the Dozen.

Jason soon followed with the tale of the Z-Squadron - Australia's Air Force heroes, and two-fisted men of action! There's much more to come, as Jason returns with covers, pinups, and further tales revealing the saga of the Danger's Dozen!

If you enjoy Jason's work on Lobster Johnson - if you've read his own series Ferro City from Image Comics - or his pulp-action hero Doc Thunder, then you know what's to come in each story of the Danger's Dozen from Jason ATOMIC Armstrong!

Okay, okay, so besides the Danger's Dozen...
WHO is Doc Thunder? He's the world's last defense against evil aliens, maniacal madmen and fifty-foot monsters! Always prepared for adventure with a secret atomic device or the activation of his atomic-powered Thunder Gloves! KRAK! Hero of Neutron City!

Y'know, he'd get along just fine with the Dozen. Ah well, one day ;)
