New webcomic from Troy-Jeffey Allen launches this weekend

OFFICIAL RELEASE:

Free Comic Book Day isn't just at your local comic shop, but also online. On Saturday, May 3, 2014, join artist Jay Payne and writer Troy-Jeffrey Allen (me!) as we unveil BamnComics.com

BamnComics.com will be the home to our weekly ongoing webseries about Bamn, a washed-up pro wrestler attempting to dismantle the hierarchy of Hayts High School. When a group of teenage misfits find themselves endlessly tormented by bullies, the kids require the services of the surly former world champion to teach them how to defend themselves. In the end, the teens might teach Bamn a thing or two, as well. If you love wrestling, nerds, action, comedy, or free things, then kick out and kick @$$ on May 3, 2014!

The site will be updated every Wednesday with a new installment. Also, this new site  will be the place to go for news, artwork, and merchandise! Most importantly...it's free.

Be sure to visit us anytime after midnight on May 3rd and witness the Free Comic Day debut by simply going to www.BamnComics.com.


Take Care.
