Infinite Seven is Action Hero Archetypes Re-Imagined. Check out the Preview.

For centuries, a secret world government has employed the Infinite Seven, the world’s greatest assassins to do their dirty work. The only way to become one of their members is to prove your worth by killing one of their members. But what happens when Anthony Zane, a teenage boy from the suburbs does just that?

In a release, writer Dave Dwonch shared:

I’m a huge movie and pop culture nerd, and Infinite Seven is my love letter to all the things I loved growing up. GI Joe, MASK, James Bond movies, over the top 80s action flicks and martial arts masterpieces– they’re all in there. Filter all that through my warped brain, sprinkle in secret societies, blend with a little Piers Anthony, and you’ve got the biggest, baddest team book on the shelf. These are action archetypes you know (or think you know) playing in the same universe. The set pieces are huge, the action is off the charts, and the book has heart. A lot of that comes from the art team. If I’m the screenwriter of this ‘action movie’, then artist Arturo Mesa is the director, and colorist Geraldo Filho is the special effects supervisor. They are incredible!

Infinite Seven is an all-new monthly ONGOING series with interlocking variant covers for issues 1-4. It’s written by Dwonch with art by Arturo Mesa, colors by Geraldo Filho, and covers by Mesa and Kirbi Fagan.

Action Lab’s Kevin Freeman steps down as President

ACTIONLAB_LOGOAction Lab Entertainment has announced a change in leadership as it moves into its fifth official year of publication. Kevin Freeman, the current President of Action Lab Entertainment announced he will be stepping down from his position. Freeman will assume a smaller, more specialized role with the company.

Freeman, an 18-year industry veteran, came to ALE as the former managing editor of Ape Entertainment. Kevin then succeeded former Action Lab Entertainment President, Shawn Pryor, in 2013. Freeman is also a professor and serves as chair of the political science and public administration department at University of North Carolina, Pembroke.

On his Facebook page, Freeman said:

Before rumors start flying, it has nothing to do with my relationship with the company or anything else related thereto. The people who run ALE are my treasured brothers and sisters and I have a fabulous rapport with all of them. I am simply wanting to take a step back from the industry in general and pursue other things, including spending more time with my family and perhaps dipping my toes in the creative side of things again.

Current Action Lab Entertainment Creative Director, Dave Dwonch, will succeed Freeman as President. Dwonch is also one of the founders of Action Lab and writer of several series including Vamplets and Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi.

2016 sees the launch of a company wide event, Actionverse, that brings together many of its superheroes into one comics universe.
