The Legend of Bold Riley hits stores this summer!
The latest book from Northwest Press is Leia Weathington’s The Legend of Bold Riley, a sword-and-sorcery epic illustrated by Leia and a host of talented artists.
“Who is Bold Riley?” you might ask. She has hunted the wildest game and dallied with countless beautiful girls, but still longs to know the world beyond the city walls. Princess Rilavashana SanParite, called Bold Riley, leaves behind her station and sets out to travel through distant lands and find forgotten ruins, fearsome enemies, inscrutable gods and tragic love. She’s as capable with a sword as she is with her wits—man, does she carve things up when the need arises—and is a strong, beautiful, confident woman who doesn’t wear a bikini into battle.
The Legend of Bold Riley is 232 pages, retails for $29.99 and is published by Northwest Press, which publishes graphic novels and comics collections by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender comics creators. The book is available to retailers direct from the publisher as well as through Diamond Comic Distributors using item #MAY121226.

RED CIRCLE COMICS UNVEILS NEW CRUSADERS
Digital newsstand comic creates first-ever immersive super hero universe for readers
New York, NY – (May 11) – - Red Circle Comics debuted images from NEW CRUSADERS today, the first title launched under the Red Circle Comics mobile app, an immersive, universe-spanning super hero experience featuring some of the most recognizable and engaging comic book characters ever created.
Launching May 16, the Red Circle Comics “newsstand” app – created in partnership with iVerse Media – will allow subscribers to get weekly, six-page installments of new super hero adventures, starting with NEW CRUSADERS chapters 1 and 2, which are free to initial subscribers. For 99 cents a week, fans will be given six pages of fresh NEW CRUSADERS material a week and access to “The Vault” – a collection of never-before reprinted classic comics featuring the entire library of Red Circle Comics’ 70-plus year history, expanded and updated weekly to complement the new stories. In short, an immersive, interactive and forward-thinking comic book experience, which some have dubbed “Netflix comics.”
“This is modern comics for the modern comic book fan,” said Mike Pellerito, President of Red Circle Comics. “We’ve created a way to plug into an entire universe of characters and put our best foot forward with some of our best creators to create the kind of super hero comics we know people want to read: fun, entertaining and daring. The future of comics starts
here, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
NEW CRUSADERS will be written by critically acclaimed author Ian Flynn, best known for his top-selling work on Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man. Joining Flynn is up-and-coming artist Ben Bates, who brings a clean, energetic art style to the launch series.
“We put our best guys on our top book,” said Paul Kaminski, Executive Director of Editorial of Red Circle Comics. “We are all in on this project. These are fresh, modern and new takes on characters that are recognizable around the world. We’re taking some of the classic elements from the best‐loved super hero sagas and making them available for anyone who’s missed having a comic that’s fun, exciting and compelling. Every panel of every page counts, and every chapter will make you desperate for the next. That’s what comics should – and will – be.”
Fans looking for print editions of the NEW CRUSADERS adventures will see NEW CRUSADERS: RISE OF THE HEROES #1 launch in August in comic shops and newsstands, along with graphic novel collections in bookstores in coming months.

“P.E. – The Conclusion”
Marvel Announces New AVENGERS VS. X-MEN INFINITE COMIC!
New York, NY—May 11, 2012— Earlier this year, Marvel changed how the world experienced digital comics with Avengers VS. X-Men #1 Infinite. This June, the Marvel ReEvolution continues as Marvel is pleased to announce the next jaw dropping Marvel Infinite Comic to be included with June’s Avengers VS. X-Men #6! Representing the latest form of comic book storytelling using tablets and smartphones as a new canvas, each new Marvel Infinite Comic continues to take advantage of modern technology while staying true to medium’s greatest strengths!
Following the world changing events of Avengers VS. X-Men #6, superstar creators Mark Waid, Yves “Balak” Bigerel and Carlo Barberi bring fans a must read story featuring Cyclops and how the world is seen through his eyes.
“After the deafening critical acclaim for the first Infinite Comic, we had to bring Mark Waid back for the next one,” said Marvel Senior Editor Nick Lowe. “But joining Mark this time around is Yves Bigerel & Carlo Barberi. Now, not many Marvelites may recognize Bigerel’s name, but he is of huge importance to digital comics. His pen name is Balak and he made the comic that solidified for us what digital comics COULD be. Yves took Waid’s rough idea and realized the story-telling and it’s going to blow you away. Then, Carlo took Yves storyboards and knocked them out of the park!”
The unknown, and untapped potential of the Phoenix Force is revealed in the next all-new Avengers VS. X-Men Infinite Comic, available on June 20th! Fans can find the next Avengers VS. X-Men Infinite Comic in one of three ways:
1. Free with the redemption of a code found in print copies of Avengers VS. X-Men #6
2. Free with a purchase of the digital copy of Avengers VS. X-Men #6 on the Marvel Comics app and the Marvel Digital Comics Shop,
3. Available for $1.99, also on the Marvel Comics app and the Marvel Digital Comics Shop
With three easy ways to obtain the Infinite Comic, no fan can miss out on the story that changes the game for the comic blockbuster event of the summer!
