HELP PLAYTEST THE FLARE SUPERHERO CARD GAME AT THE BIG WOW! COMICFEST IN SAN JOSE, MAY 19-20!

Ever wanted to help playtest a new game before it goes on sale?

You’ll be able to do that on May 19 and 20 at this year’s Big Wow! Comicfest in San Jose, California!

Comics’ shining goddess of light, FLARE, is scheduled to visit the Big Wow! ComicFest this year in person! And she’s bringing with her a prototype of her brand-new superhero card game! It’s Heroes vs Villains, as you get to figure out the best tactics and strategies that will enable your favorite hero to work (or maybe compete) with other heroes in bringing down the threat of a series of seven powerful supervillains and their evil minions.

But watch out! Because the villains get ever more powerful. And if you don’t build up your own resources, and if you don’t bring the bad guys down quickly when they first show up, your opponents might just get so powerful that you won’t be able to bring them down at all!

There are demos scheduled every two hours on Saturday and Sunday. But space is limited! No more than eight players can be accommodated in each time slot. So get ready to help out with the FLARE Superhero Card Game playtest demo, and reserve one of the remaining open slots for yourself today.

Reservations for the FLARE Superhero Card Game Demo at the Big Wow! Comicfest can be made online at www.heroicmultiverse.com/heroicpub/flarecardgame

Don’t wait! Space is limited! Sign up today!

Sensational G-Girl Steps Into The Pages Of Champions!

Posted on by

In advance of the long-awaited first issue of her own comic book, America’s newest costumed sweetheart, Billi Jayne Jensen, THE SENSATIONAL G-GIRL, makes her debut in the pages of Heroic Publishing’s flagship CHAMPIONS title.

Four complete, all-new G-Girl adventures are on tap to appear in Champions #55, 58, 60, and 62.

  In Champions #55, when a wrestling promoter approaches the League of Champions with the idea of putting on a championship wrestling match for charity, the League’s newest member, the sensational G-Girl, jumps at the chance to go one-on-one with one of professional wrestling’s most despised villains, the sinister Tommy “Spiderbaby” Saturday! She figures, armed with her sensational super-strength and a surprise “secret weapon,” that she’ll mop up the bad guy in the ring as easily as she’s been mopping up real-world supervillains like the abominable Ogre. But professional wrestling isn’t the real world. And the Spiderbaby has a few sinister surprises of his own in store for her. “At What Price Victory?” is brought to you by the Spiderbaby’s real-life alter-ego, writer Terrance Griep, and one of Italy’s finest new young artists, Gaetano Petrigno.

In Champions #58, we find that the G-Girl’s championship wrestling match, which was after all for charity, did nothing to help the Jensen family finances. And now, the G-Girl’s obnoxious little brother Jimmy’s latest idea on how to go about raising some spending capital is definitely going to get him in hot water with his big sister, Billi Jayne. “Candid Camera” is brought to you by the G-Girl’s creator, writer/publisher Dennis Mallonee and artist Gaetano Petrigno.

In Champions #60, while little brother Jimmy is out doing his best to raise some money, Billi Jayne and her pals Joey and Erin pay a visit to the local Soda Shoppe. But the Soda Shoppe may be a bit more than it seems. For one thing, there’s a very familiar-looking, bald, bespectacled cook working the grill. And for another, Pammy the waitress sure looks a lot like another, significatly more dangerous Pammy that Billi Jayne has met a few times before. Oh, well. No time to worry about that right now. They don’t seem to be causing any trouble, and there’s teenaged girl stuff to take care of before the weekend is over. “The Soda Shoppe” will be brought to you by the creative team of Dennis Mallonee and Gaetano Petrigno.

Finally, in Champions #62, featuring a special guest appearance by the Huntsman, Billi Jayne takes matters into her own hands, and comes up with what she thinks is a reasonable plan to deal with the Jensen family’s financial problems, at least for the time being. Problem is, bank robberies are illegal. And when a band of invisible villains tries to stage a robbery just as Billi Jayne and the Huntsman are busily negotiating terms of a cash advance with the local branch manager, she feels obliged to go into action and deal with it as the sensational G-Girl. “Assault of the Blue Men” will be brought to you once again by the creative team of Mallonee and Petrigno.

The stories appearing in these four issues of CHAMPIONS are designed to complement the G-Girl adventures that will be featured in the pages of SENSATIONAL G-GIRL. Where stories in SENSATIONAL G-GIRL will focus for the most part on superhero conflict and action, the G-Girl stories in CHAMPIONS are meant to focus on the more personal aspects of what it might mean for a teenaged girl with very little experience at being a teenaged girl to find herself suddenly acknowledged as one of the world’s foremost costumed heroines.

The adventures of Billi Jayne Jensen will begin to unfold throughout 2012 and 2013 in the pages of both CHAMPIONS and her own SENSATIONAL G-GIRL title. It’s going to be wild. And Heroic Publishing hopes you’ll be along for the ride.

Copies of CHAMPIONS, SENSATIONAL G-GIRL, and other Heroic titles are not distributed through normal comic book distribution channels. Heroic Publishing titles are available only through select retailers, and by special order from the Heroic Publishing website at www.heroicmultiverse.com.

Comic book retailers interested in carrying these and other popular Heroic Publishing titles should contact Heroic Publishing directly, and register online for a retail account with the Heroic Distribution comic book service.

Flare Returns In 2012

Posted on by

Comics’ shining goddess of light returns in May in the first of an all-new series of comic book adventures!

  FLARE #40 is coming hot off the presses! And if you’re not lucky enough to shop at Lone Star Comics in Texas, or at Minneapolis’s Comic Book College, or at Limited Edition Comics in Cedar Falls, Iowa, there’s only one way you’re going to be able to get your hands on this brand-new issue.

Visit the Heroic Publishing website, at www.heroicmultiverse.com, and order your copy of FLARE #40 today!

Retailers, too, can place discounted bulk orders for FLARE #40, as well as for the entire range of Heroic Publishing titles, by registering for an account with the Heroic Distribution webservice, at www.heroicmultiverse.com/heroicdist.

This brand-new, 40th issue of FLARE shines the spotlight on our glittering heroine’s police officer boyfriend, LUCAS MADISON. When Flare’s arch-enemy, naughty NYX, the Olympian goddess of night, decides she wants hunky Lucas for herself, and recruits help from APHRODITE in order to get him, how in the world is a mere mortal ever going to be able to resist the mind-altering potions of the Olympian goddess of love?

This brand-new 40th issue of FLARE also features the return of one of Flare’s classic artist, GORDON PURCELL. Gordon was the artist who defined Flare’s look, and was most identified with her during her most recent run of issues, starting with FLARE #20 and continuing through FLARE #35. This time around, Gordon is on tap for an extended run on FLARE, including the upcoming “Quest for Lady Arcane” storyline scheduled to run simultaneously in FLARE and WITCHGIRLS INC, and an all-new “Challenge of the Gods” sequence that will culminate with a double-sized anniversary issue in FLARE #50.

It was FLARE who redefined the way costumed heroines are treated in mainstream comics. It was FLARE who proved that a strong, independent female character can carry a solo title all on her own.

Now she’s back!

Look for FLARE #40 in May, FLARE #41 in August, FLARE #42 in November, and a new issue of FLARE every two months thereafter.

Copies of this special issue of FLARE are not being distributed through normal comic book distribution channels. FLARE #40 is available only through select retailers, and by special order from the Heroic Publishing website at www.heroicmultiverse.com.

Comic book retailers interested in carrying this and other popular Heroic Publishing titles such as Champions, Murcielaga She-Bat, and Liberty Girl should contact Heroic Publishing directly, and register online for a retail account with the Heroic Distribution comic book service.

Heroic Publishing Releases All-New Alter Ego #5

Posted on by

ROY THOMAS, RON HARRIS TEAM UP FOR BRAND-NEW FIFTH ISSUE OF ALTER EGO

After 25 years, legendary comic book writer ROY THOMAS has once again teamed up with artist and co-creator RON HARRIS for a brand-new issue of the ALTER EGO comic book.

This brand-new fifth issue of ALTER EGO continues the adventures of teenager Rob Lindsay, a young hero who battles evil by donning a mystic mask that transports him into a world where comic book characters are real.

The ALTER EGO comic book was originally published in 1986 as a four-part mini-series, in which Alter Ego and members of the superheroic “Limbo Legion,” based on classic heroes from the golden age of comics, did battle against the sinister Crimson Claw. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that original series, Roy Thomas and Ron Harris, together with Heroic’s publisher, Dennis Mallonee, have produced an all-new fifth issue, in which Alter Ego travels into the world of crime comics from the late 1940s in order to do battle with a new incarnation of evil who styles himself “Brother Crime.”

Copies of this special issue of ALTER EGO are not being distributed through normal comic book distribution channels. ALTER EGO #5 is available only through select retailers, and by special order from the Heroic Publishing website at www.heroicpub.com.

Comic book retailers interested in carrying this and other popular Heroic Publishing titles such as Flare, Champions, and Liberty Girl should contact Heroic Publishing directly, and register online for a retail account with the Heroic Distribution comic book service.

The Liberty Girl Returns in July!

Posted on by

AMERICA’S BRONZE GODDESS OF FREEDOM RETURNS!

The LIBERTY GIRL is on tap to return this summer in an all-new series of adventures from writer Richard Martin and artist Mark Sparacio.

Heroic Publishing has scheduled the fourth issue of Liberty Girl for a late June release, just in time for the July 4th holiday.

Liberty Girl #4 will feature a book-length, 28-page adventure, featuring a guest appearance by the HUNTSMAN, from the League of Champions. As fans of the Heroic Publishing titles already know, the Liberty Girl (Elena Hunter) and the Huntsman (Donald Hunter) share a last name. Beginning in this issue, we explore the long-standing relationship between these two great characters, as they team up to investigate the tragic death of Fletcher the Bowman, one of the greatest heroes of World War II.

In addition to appearing in her own bimonthly title, the Liberty Girl will also appear quarterly in issues of Liberty Comics. Where the Liberty Girl title focuses on her adventures in the world of today, Liberty Comics focuses on tales of her deeds of derring-do during the dark days before, during, and after the second World War. Together, Liberty Girl and Liberty Comics will provide fans of the Liberty Girl with a complete history of America’s bronze goddess of freedom.

An online preview of Mark Sparacio’s fantastic artwork for Liberty Girl #4 can be seen online on the Heroic Publishing website at www.heroicpub.com/heroicpub/previews/lg04.php.

Heroic Publishing’s line of comic book titles, including Flare, Champions, Liberty Girl, Murcielaga She-Bat, and Roy Thomas’s Alter Ego, are not distributed through normal comic book distribution channels.
