Back from the War, Joe Sinclair struggles to survive in the bowels of Century City coping with near-superhuman memories he doesn’t remember living. Is he losing his mind or is he something more? Forged from a past now lost, his memory used for an inner fire, Sergeant Zero is a soldier few remember and most have forgotten…including himself.

Here’s a few images of what the Preview looks like in it’s printed form.

I Love New Media...

Download a PDF zine I made from my blog in about 20 minutes...all it lacks is advertising. But if I were to find a way to mash my Google Ad Sense ads to this...

Well, it has... possibilities.

INCREDIBLES #2 is ...Well, Incredible!

Chip Mosher over at Boom Studios informs me that INCREDIBLES #2 is going back for a second printing!

Is it any wonder with story by Waid and art by Takara?

Rush to your comic shop - OR - your newsstand and pick up a copy.

This is How Comic BOOKS Used to Look...

Now call me crazy, but wouldn't it be cool if web- comics looked kind of like this instead of all the 4-panel gag cartoons or the "manga-esque" or "big foot" material?

Coming Soon to a Blog Near You!

Sitting in my file box right now is my interview with the crazy guys who want to take you on a Mysterious Adventure. I will post it next week after my fingers quit bleeding from the script I'm writing.

But go ahead and order now.

Tell them a bastard sent ya.

H/T to Rolf.

Chip Mosher Has Been In My Inbox All Day...

(which to the disappointment of many of you weirdos is nowhere near as gay as it sounds)

Lots happening over at Boom Studios today and of course, their Marketing and Sales Director, Chip Mosher has been on the case supplying the Pulp 2.0 Inbox with a plethora of press releases.

The first announcement is that all their kid-friendly Disney/Pixar titles (The Incredibles: Family Matters, Cars: The Rookie and The Muppet Show) will all be priced at $2.99. This is a full dollar less than most titles currently being released.

We love that. You will too, see?

The second announcement is that a new one-shot Potter's Field: Stone Cold from series creator Mark Waid and artist Paul Azaceta (Daredevil, B.P.R.D.) will ship to stores this March.

"I'm excited to return to this character," said series writer and BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. "I'm genuinely fascinated by the concept of a nameless avenger going out of his way to help everyone but himself, embarking on what seems to be a totally impossible mission. I created John Doe with a simple idea in mind, but the storytelling potential keeps me up at night. POTTER'S FIELD: STONE COLD gives me a chance to explore real-world crime drama."

Giving names back to the dead, John Doe calls upon the New York City's greatest natural resource, its people, to solve the mysteries others didn't care to solve or couldn't."

Which leads us to the third announcement today that Boom has launched another website:

MarkWaid.com

BOOM! Studios Editor-In Chief Mark Waid, award-winning writer of such series as KINGDOM COME, EMPIRE, 52, and AMAZING-SPIDER MAN and a longtime industry veteran, hits the keyboard to blog regularly at MARKWAID.COM about his years of experience in the field. Updated daily with new content, MARKWAID.COM will feature free webcomics, podcasts, vlogs, script tutorials, rants, and special guests on a regular basis.

"Who better to hand a megaphone to than a comics vet who's seen it all and done it all?" said BOOM! Studios marketing and sales director Chip Mosher. "Mark's earned a reputation for being outspoken. BOOM! is proud to sponsor a site where Mark can stand on his soapbox and harangue readers far and wide!"

"I don't know if 'harangue' is the word I'd use," added Mark Waid while glaring at Mosher, "but I've been searching for a regular venue where I can upload some of my comics stories and behind-the-scenes anecdotes and, in general, go on at droning length about comics history and comics criticism, turn over some rocks, and see how long I can go without saying something stupid and inflammatory that will send the collective wrath of comics fandom down on me. What time is it now?"

MARKWAID.COM kicks off by posting, free for viewing, the entire first issue of POTTER'S FIELD, the critically acclaimed series from Waid and artist Paul Azaceta. The series follows the mysterious detective known only as "John Doe" as he pins identities to New York City's anonymous dead. Other web-posted comics will follow, as will video and audio interviews, essays, and eyewitness tales of comics history.

Diversity Thy Name is Internet

I love getting emails like this from friends around the world using the internet to their advantage when it comes to creating cool entertainments.

From my Knightmare radio-producer, Gregg Taylor of Toronto's Decoder Ring Theater:

Dear Bill,

I know this sort of crossover effort is near and dear to your heart, so I offer you our latest venture... the Black Jack Justice comic at www.addictivecomics.com We're along for the ride on this in many ways... the whole thing is the new Scott Sigler joint (he who turned podcasting audio novels into bestselling actual novels), and it's nifty to be on the ground floor for once instead of outside in the cold, pressed up against the glass and quaking with envy. Mark Hester is the driving force (and also our inker!) and the pencils are being done by this dude from Finland who has a feel for the noir that I can't believe.

Anyway, the first pages are up today... take a peek when you have a chance.

Cheers,

Gregg
