Pocket God Comics Introduces New Story Arc with Issue No. 15 "Gem Cell Research”

SAN FRANCISCO - April 4, 2012 – Ape Entertainment and Bolt Creative announced today that Pocket God Comicsissue No. 15 is now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. In “Gem Cell Research,” part one of four of the new story arc, both tribes finally make it back to the girls' island. However, the pink elephant in the room remains…just how long the boys will stay there is a matter of contention.

Some wouldn't mind if they stayed and some would like to see them go already. And with the girls’ gem broken to pieces, would they be safer if the guys stayed or left? Oh, and Nooby makes a new friend. Well, we know how that usually goes.

Based on Pocket God, one of the best-selling iPhone apps of all-time, the full-color digital comic book series is one of the most successful digital comics to-date. The comics are available on the App Store via iVerse Media, a digital distribution partner of Ape Entertainment.
Don't forget that the Pocket God Comic is updated frequently with all kinds of free extras including The Pygmy Peril newsletter, an exclusive re-mastered version of the first Pocket God animated short, free Little Green Men comic short stories, and more cool stuff on the way.
The Pygmy Peril No. 15 is now available as well. Featuring the return of ‘FAN ART!’ And ‘Dev-Corner’ covers “Cast of Pygmies: Part 2,” as Allan recounts how the girls went from being an idea to the pygmies that stole our hearts. We announce the NEXT BIG CONTEST! And of course we have your email to answer! All that, and the LITTLE GREEN MEN too!
