Hoax Hunters In Stores Tomorrow!

Yep, after a year of being a backup, some time in between (putting the book together, finding a new artist, soliciting, promoting, writing the new arc, etc.) issue #0 is hitting the stands tomorrow. Tomorrow! Steve, JM, Axel, and I are all really excited and can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. So far the reviews and feedback have been very, very positive and we hope to see that trend continue.

We've said it before, but we'll say it again: thank you to all the retailers who have ordered and supported the book, the fans who have been talking it up, and the media who have played an integral role it getting the word out. Making comics is all about the love of the medium and the risks you're willing to take--with your creativity, with your time, with your energy, and so much more. The Hoax Hunters creative team is happy where we're at on all counts, and that wouldn't be possible without all the help we've gotten along the way.

Anyway, I'll put the award acceptance speech away for another day. Point being: we have gratitude.

In the time between now and the issue's release, here's some more press Hoax Hunters has received:

Hoax Hunters is Bloody Disgusting's "Pick of the Week." They say the "artwork and script mesh together well, and I have a feeling it will only get better as they continue their Hoax Hunters run," and "#0 is a very strong start to what could be a great series"

Comic Book Resources has a big, nine-page preview of issue #0. 

Watch this video: IGN has issue #0 as one of their top picks of the week!

Spandexless says issue #0 is "solid debut...remains a fun read that delivers in a bunch of different ways."














iFanboy has a nifty preview up!

I sat down with the always great Sohaib Awan to talk Hoax Hunters and my obsession with Lost on the Fictional Frontiers radio show. 

Starburst "recommends" issue zero, saying "if you’re looking for a comic that does for paranormal research what Hack/Slash did for horror then Hoax Hunters is going to be the series for you. There’s enough potential in the TV show angle to carry a compelling monthly series and enough genuine creativity to breathe life into a lot of existing urban legends and conspiracies."

Another preview, this one from Comic Buzz.

Broken Frontier says "Not only does Hoax Hunters have a fun and interesting premise, but writers Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley have filled their pages with some great characters that beg to be followed."
