Summer of Super Real
This summer the reality TV/comic book superhero mash-up, Super Real, returns to comic book shops with a new special issue series climax, and complete series graphic novel collection.
First appearing in November 2005, Super Real saw five issues released with raves from folks like Newsarama, Ain’t It Cool News, and Comics Buyer’s Guide, and featured guest creators including Jim Mahfood, and Josh Howard during it’s just over two year run. Now, this summer will see the release of both a new double-sized special issue, Super Real: Cast Change; the oversized series conclusion, and the 220 page graphic novel collection of the entire series; which includes the five previously released issues as well as the new special issue. For fans of the series, they can pick up the Super Real Cast Change special - a solid stand alone read that also happens to wrap up the book’s first storyline - via comic book shops and Haven Distribution (or directly from Super Real Graphics, both in print, and digitally). While new fans can pick up the complete 6 book run under one cover with the Super Real graphic novel - collecting the entire genetically enhanced, nipple twisting, lethal middle finger flipping, over-the-top mix of comic book fiction, pop culture, politics, and ultra-violence - via comic book shops and Diamond Distribution. Each book is listed in the respective May catalogs from the distributors.
In today’s ever changing independent comic book landscape, Super Real is a self published success story, that’s found critical favor, showcased independent talent, and told a unique and subversive story, from start to finish, all on comic shop racks… a feat that may not soon be repeated. Take a look at what the book has to offer today, either in the May Diamond Previews catalog, the May Haven Comics! Catalog, or at the book’s website, superrealgraphics.com, where you’ll find the complete first issue, previews from the graphic novel/individual issues, and much more.
Product information:
SUPER REAL: CAST CHANGE SPECIAL - July
48 pages, B&W, mature readers, $6.99
Our reality show cast were promised million dollar payouts for participation, but now a bold change to the show’s format via a controversial new cast member has them reeling... If their fifteen minutes of fame, and cash reward are cut short, will anyone survive?!?
It’s all out war in this brand new super-sized conclusion to the popular independent series that mashes-up pop culture with comic book mayhem, and features a character inspired by the most popular man on Earth - Barack Obama, who completes the book’s trinity of Presidential likenesses (with Bush and Cheney already in place as the show’s producers)!
This is not a marketing stunt dear readers, this is the only conclusion our tale could possibly have!! Don’t miss it!!!
