Fill your life with AWESOME @ ROCKETSHIP Oct. 19!

AWESOME: The Indie Spinner Rack Anthology is on schedule to rock your world in comics stores everywhere October 17. This Friday, October 19 at 8:00pm, head on over to Rocketship, Brooklyn's premiere purveyor of funnybooks, for the official AWESOME book lunch party (directions and details at this link)! There will booze, dozens of the contributors (including ETC's Fred and Ryan), and we can almost guarantee that at least once, before the night is over, someone will take his shirt off. (We're looking at you, Charlito.)

You can also preview the book and get ordering information off the official AWESOME web site.

And remember -- AWESOME contains the first installment of the new ETC series, COMIC BOOK COMICS, which gives the AP treatment to the history of graphic novels, manga and comics!

AP #9: THE LIGHTNING ROUND goes on-sale 9/6!

We weren't sure about this until last night, when Fred appeared at NYC's live Comic Book Club (which was great fun, by the way -- thanks to Alex, Justin and Pete for having him to talk Super-Villain Team-Up), but at long last, the climactic issue of AP, #9: The Lightning Round hits comics stores this Thursday, September 6! (New comics come out on Thursday instead of Wednesday this week because of the Labor Day holiday.)
UPDATED! (x2) Our pals at Comic Book Resources did a great Action Philosophers Exit Interview with Fred and Ryan about this issue, with a preview of the issue too -- They posted the Fred interview here, and Ryan's pearls of wisdom can be found here!

UPDATED! (x3) We put this issue on sale here at the site starting now!
