The Story Behind The Writing: Book IV Out on Wednesday.

Instead of sending out the usual press release, I thought I would just write an informal blog post bulletin, and encourage you to pick up The Overman Book IV, arriving in comic shops this Wednesday. Book IV is the engine breaking down, the center falling apart, the collision of unseen forces against unstoppable determination and cold futility. We all get to see it unfolding in Pittsburgh, in the year 2135. It's yet another jam-packed issue of oddities and explosive events, leading you to 'The End of The Future'.

From PREVIEWS:
The Atomic Clock reveals a mind-altering, horrific truth to the renegade Nathan Fisher. He and Dr.Annita Gray battle Omakon agents in a high speed, explosive chase, while The last living Demolator is lured into a trap that will seal the fate of all Mankind.


There's a new review of Book III at RedCanComics. The goal has always been to give people what they didn't know they wanted, and then keep pulling them back for more. We're thrilled to see this 20-years in the making project finally fully realized, with our original vision of the story uncompromised and published pretty much exactly as we intended. Thank you Image Comics. That in itself is something worth noting here, since there's always that risk of losing sight of the most important elements in a story once things are set in motion, and you start worrying about target audiences and appealing to the masses, and hoping that enough people 'get it'. I see a lot of stuff out there that is contrived and built around a marketing premise, rather than just being an honest work of art, for better or worse. I'm encouraged to see so many positive reactions to this work, from the comics press and comics community, to the brave readers who took a chance on The Overman and keep coming back for more of it.

To coincide with the March 5 release date of Book IV, we have a brand new flash trailer and a 10-page preview at http://www.theovermancomic.com/.

WARN OTHERS.
