FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

July 22, 2009

The future ends here: San Diego Comic-Con International and Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con! THE OVERMAN trade paperback will be on sale directly from its creators this summer at the biggest comic conventions in the world! First up on the 'End of The Future' tour is Shane White, who will be a guest at San Diego Comic-Con from July 23-26, booth 1528. Find out exactly why critics raved about this 5-issue sci-fi mini-series from Image Comics:

"This book has more imagination in its first few issues than most
books have in their entire series."
- Ain't It Cool News

"A story that promises to be grand in scope."
- Broken Frontier

"Reed and White have managed to collaborate on something special:
a first issue of a non-shared-universe title...that leaves you impatiently awaiting the next installment."
- Newsarama

"Riveting. I couldn't put it down. Love the tone, love the designs, love the characters."
- Mark Waid, writer DC Comics Kingdom Come

"...A deep and riveting chronicle...Reed and White have created a believable future in a few short pages."
- Silver Bullet Comics

"...One hell of an opener...an imaginative read with plenty of characters and hints of more to come."
- ComicPants

"Were this turned into a movie, I do believe that it would be an instant hit and classic."
- RedCanComics

"This book is a hidden gem, one of the best new series I've read in ages."
- Gail Simone, Writer DC Comics Wonder Woman

Next up on the tour of future destruction is Scott Reed, who will be a guest at Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con August 6-8. Like Shane, Scott will be revealing the one book of 2009 that will guarantee to leave you speechless, and desperate for more. It's just too bad that you won't get any more. These guys weren't kidding when they proclaimed The Overman as 'A Final Vision Of The Future'. The trade paperback will be available for purchase at both of these great conventions, and signed by its respective creators.

THE OVERMAN TPB On Sale April 1

The Overman Trade Paper Back edition will be out April 1st, from Image Comics. This is the capstone to a 20-year effort that Shane and I can finally put to rest. I promise that after you read it, you'll be changed into a broken shell of humanity. However, I strongly believe that everyone should totally reinvent themselves at least once. In many ways, this story is about the struggle of reinvention, and you might pick up on this and other themes between all the destruction. The Overman TPB collects all 5 issues, along with a lot of early concept art. It's available now in Previews, and you can find out much more about The Overman here at http://www.theovermancomic.com/ or at http://www.imagecomics.com/
