HBComics Returns to Wizardworld Philly!

Five years ago, the two brothers from Boston set out with copies of Lazerman #1 to Philadelphia Comiccon to premiere their book to the world.

This May, after sadly having to miss last years event, the HBComics returns to Philly to once again take part Wizard World Philadelphia!

Even though we are from Boston, we have always considered Philly our "home" convention. It's where we started, where we have built up the most friends and largest fanbase...and where we most of all love to go.

This year we are back, bringing with us the brand new Lazerman #9, as well as Mysteryman #1 (new to Philly) , our trade paperbacks, and all our books....plus a few surprises.

In addition, we will officially be announcing an exciting new addition to HBComics, with a new title, and a familiar old face...

So come by the Pennsylvania convention Center May 7-10 and join us for HBComics' biggest show of the year!

Lazerman Vol 2: Night of the Necrolord Arrives in May

HBComics is glad to announce that after several delays, the kickstarter-funded trade paperback collection Lazerman Vol 2: Night of the Necrolord is finally arriving this coming May.

The book is being printed as we speak (a big thank you to Kat at Active Media Printing) and will begin the long ship from the printing facility in China within the next couple of weeks. Allowing for the 4-6 week estimation for arrival by sea, that will bring Lazerman into our hands just in time for a certain upcoming convention appearance in May. Kickstarter backers, however, should start to receive them before then. It will be available on Amazon shortly after that.

Lazerman Volume 2 collects issue 5-7 of the series into trade paperback form, with an additional 25+ pages of bonus material, including never before seen "deleted scenes", production notes, and art from "Green Lantern" and "Flash" artist Ethan Van Sciver!

Announcement: Lazerman Issues 1-4 out of print

With the successful funding of "Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer" Trade Paperback (collecting issues 1-4), and the announcement of it's release this March, we have decided to cease production on the single issues of Lazerman 1-4.

The covers for the original single issues of Lazerman, now out of print.

So what does this mean?

The story that these first four issues of the series tell will still be available of course in the trade paperback. And, of course, we will still continue to print issues 5-7, and any new issues as they are finished. However we decided it was time to "retire" the single issues to make room on our convention tables for the trade paperbacks, and the new books we are releasing.

We will continue to sell the limited stock of these issues we still have left. So as we begin our new convention season, we will have these out and on display as we always have...however once they are sold, there will NOT be any more printed.

As we mentioned, the entire run of the series will still be available for anyone to buy, with the first four issues available in our trade paperback...with a ton of bonus material and a lower price, It's only the SINGLE issues that will be going away.

The trade paperback will be officially available in Marc, 2013

-Chris


(Note: Any of our kickstarter backers who selected the single issues as rewards, this does NOT affect you. We already have your books here, and ready to be shipped. In fact, yuo may be getting the LAST copies of these single books to ever be printed!)

We are so increibly thankful for the ourtpouring of support we recieved! It's especially meaningful to us, because it means that our FANS, readers, and supporters came out of the woodwork to support us DIRECTLY...proving to us and the world that Lazerman has a place in comic history!

The Trade Paperback, "Lazerman: This Man, this Lazer!" will be 116 pages, which include 18 pages of extras and behind the scenes material! This will include artework by Eisner award nominated artist and creator of "Shi" Billy Tucci, Image Comics' artist and creator of "Ant" Mario Gully (now known as OMG), and "G-Man" creator and artist of  Marvel Comics' "Mini-Marvels" Chris Giarrusso!
