PRESS RELEASE
------------------------------
DOGS VS. APES VS. ZOMBIES IN THE NEW "REX, ZOMBIE KILLER" MINISERIES
The Gorilla with a Baseball Bat Returns!
This Halloween, three dogs, a cat, and a gorilla with a baseball bat
continue their battle against the walking dead in the new four-issue
miniseries REX, ZOMBIE KILLER from publisher Big Dog Ink.
And if the zombies weren't bad enough, they're now also being pursued
by an aggressive group of primates from a zoo!
"It's going to be dogs versus apes versus zombies in the first
issue...and then things are going to get REALLY crazy from there,"
said writer Rob Anderson.
REX, ZOMBIE KILLER tells the story of a hyper-intelligent Golden
Retriever named Rex, a sign language-speaking gorilla, and a small
pack of animals making a perilous cross-country journey to find
safety...and a home.
Rex is trying to reach the doctor who raised him, but the doctor's
been relocated to an underground military bunker in Nevada," Anderson
said. "So even if they make it across a zombie-infested California,
there's not necessarily a cozy fireplace waiting for them."
Issue #1 picks up right from the end of the one-shot from 2012, and
will make a great jumping-on point for new readers.
"We're extremely pleased to have REX, ZOMBIE KILLER back on the
stands," said Big Dog Ink Publisher Tom Hutchinson. "The double-sized
one-shot received acclaim from both horror and comics outlets, and
fans have been asking for more, so here it comes!"
REX, ZOMBIE KILLER #1 is written by Rob Anderson (MY LITTLE PONY:
SPIKE MICRO, GREAT ZOMBIES IN HISTORY) with interior and cover art by
DaFu Yu (GRIMM FAIRY TALES, WONDERLAND ANNUAL), interior colors by
Juan Romera, cover colors by Kevin Volo, letters and design by E.T.
Dollman, and edited by Paul Allor (TMNT: FUGITOID MICRO, ORC GIRL).
Issue #1 of the bi-monthly four-issue miniseries ships on October 30,
2013, just in time for Halloween! Each issue will be a full-color,
28-page, standard trim comic book, priced at $3.50, and may be
pre-ordered at your local comic shop. (Diamond Previews Order Code:
AUG131097) It is rated TEEN+ (13 & up) for mature themes and zombie
violence.

Intervention: The Premier Showcase of Online Creativity this August 23-25,
2013 in Maryland
Internet + Convention = Intervention: The Premier Showcase of Online
Creativity. Featuring Webcomics, Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Makers, and more.
Many guest speakers and interactive events are planned for 2013; founders
mark 4th year of intervening, inspiring, and empowering digital creators.
ROCKVILLE, MD — July 15, 2013 – Intervention, a visionary combination of
educational conference, art exhibition, and gaming convention returns to
Rockville, MD this Aug. 23-25, 2013 for it's fourth year. It's goal? To
Intervene and Inspire the whole family to take advantage of what they can
do with creativity and technology. Many guest speakers will attend – and,
in keeping with the convention's focus all of the guests are creators who
have made a name for themselves by using the Internet to build their fan
base.
New guest speakers include Mark Frauenfelder, the founder of the incredibly
popular online site BoingBoing and Editor-in-Chief of MAKE magazine;
Ex-Disney / Nickelodeon animator Raul Aguirre, Jr. also joins the event
this year from the Man vs. Art podcast; Paul Sabourin of the music group
"Paul and Storm" will be on panels and workshops; and Pete Abrams of the
popular webcomic Sluggy Freelance returns along with numerous other art and
comics professionals.
The event's co-founder, Onezumi Hartstein, said, "[co-founder] James
Harknell and I wanted to put together an event that would empower people to
take control of their lives by going DIY with the internet and to showcase
those who have done so already. We feel that the internet is the present
and the future. This is the event for the internet generation." After
successful runs in 2010, 2011, and 2012 this year will mark Hartstein's
fourth time organizing the event.
The convention features educational content, children's programming, board
gaming, video gaming, vintage arcade cabinets, an extensive Artist Alley /
Vendor Room, live action roleplaying, musical performances, and plenty of
giveaways. As in past years, there will be a charity auction to benefit the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, an international non-profit digital
advocacy group that helps to defend civil liberties in the digital space.
