AICN COMICS: SPINNER RACK PREVIEWS is our new weekly one-stop shop for previews of comics coming out in the upcoming week. Click on the pics below to gaze into the near future to read these extra special previews of comics varying from the heart of the mainstream to the tip of the edge of the fringe.
Be sure to look for more AICN COMICS as the rest of your favorite @$$Holes lend their opinions on their weekly pull every Wednesday with AICN COMICS REVIEWS and then more @$$y goodness can be found in our semi-regular interview column AICN COMICS: Q&@ now on Fridays!
Ambush Bug here. We’be got a boatload of previews and some other odds and ends that don’t fit into our notmal columns, so we sqeezed them all together here. First off, I did an interview with the folks at Comic Monsters.com focusing on my new NANNY & HANK comic! (in June’s Previews Order #JUN10 0824). Follow the link and check out the interview!
More Jimmy Palmiotti interviews!
Just in case you didn’t get enough Jimmy Palmiotti here at AICN Palmiotti—I mean, Comics last week when we interviewed him on Tuesday and Friday, we wanted to direct you over to “Turn Up the Night with Kenny Pick” where he talks about his comics and more importantly goes into a huge amount of detail about his views on the Gulf Oil Disaster. Follow the link here to check out what Jimmy has to say!
ZIMM trailer preview!
The makers of the indie webseries ZIMM wanted everyone to check out their new teaser trailer. Check it out!
STARMAKER LEVIATHAN X-Box Competition!
I got this email the other day from the makers of STARMAKER LEVIATHAN and THE HUNTER about a contest they are running. Check it out!
Hi Bug,Thought I’d let you know that we’re running a competition at the moment. We’re giving away two X-Box 360s to people who are fans of the Dare Comics Facebook page. Why? Because we’re officially launching STARMAKER: LEVIATHAN at San Diego Comic-Con, and, as an upstart publisher in a world of giants, we need all the help we can get to spread the word. One person will be selected at random on July 26th. They will win an X-Box 360 and get to pick one other person who is a fan of Dare Comics, who will also receive an X-Box 360. The more friends you have who are fans of Dare Comics, the better your chances of winning. 10 runner-up prizes of signed copies of STARMAKER: LEVIATHAN are also up for grabs.
Dare Comics Facebook page can be found here!

BICYCLE COP DAVE Webcomic!
The folks at FourStory are running their webcomic BICYCLE COP DAVE written by Gary Phillips and my friend Manoel Magalhães (who did the fantastic art for my WITCHFINDER GENERAL comic in VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS #21—in stores in July!). It looks to be a very fun and quirky mystery, so be sure to check it out! I really love what I’ve seen so far and Magalhães is an artist to watch out for!
Optimous Douche is heading to Wizard World Philly!
Attention big-booth guys, lunch table indie booth guys, and meandering wanderers, Optimous Douche is heading to Wizard World Philly on June 12th and wants to talk to you! Look for this wandering Douche to tell him about your latest projects, future projects or just shoot the shit about comics. It is Wizard World after-all.
Now, if you want to get all formal about things, you can also e-mail Optimous to set up a time to talk. As he puts it, “he’s in it to win it” for the whole day on Saturday.

And now, on today’s Spinner Rack!
First up, we have a new original graphic novel from the cool cats at Archaia. From the get go, I thought SYNDROME sounded like something special. Described as “The Truman Show” meets “Se7en”, I knew this was a book I was going to be looking for. Below are a handful of pages and a few more panels showing some of the amazing art from this new book. But be warned, some of the panels may be a bit graphic and there’s a bit of nudity, so you may want to watch opening these at work. SYNDROME is one of the first titles to be featured under Archaia’s new Black Label line. Enjoy!
