WORD FROM THE PIG

BLAM!
COMICS BRINGS THE HAMMER DOWN ONLINE
With the way things were shaping up, BLAM! Comics, over
all our other ventures, was on a fast track to making
the biggest splash in 2005 due to our partnership with
Richard Hatch and his Great War of Magellan series (see
the GWoM update below). With that in mind, we created
a new site to house all of our comic book ventures, and
in December blamcomics.com went live. Featuring art and
synopsizes of all our upcoming books for the next two
years, a GWoM mini site, plus a special web only 7th Millennium
comic, BLAM! online will whet your appetite for all the
little goodies we’ve got cookin’.
www.blamcomics.com
THE
CON ARTISTS
And speaking of cookin’, it looks like 2005 is shaping
up the be the year we storm the East Coast and spread
the flavor, with a confirmed convention stop this February
25-27 at MegaCon in Florida, which, by the by, we are
co-sponsoring this year under our BLAM! Comics division.
Richard Hatch, creator of ‘The Great War of Magellan,’
our first comic book release, will be there as well to
sign the special goody we’ve got cooking for our
grand debut.
Rumored stops for the remainder of the year include at
least two Wizard World Cons (Philadelphia in June and
Boston in September), and possibly a year-end capper on
our home turf at the Big Apple Con in New York City this
November. While we’re working on finalizing these
cons, we already know that wherever we may end up, there
will be a brand spankin’ new GWoM book debuting
at each one we attend, so stay tuned.

GET
YOUR SABRAS ON
For the latter half of 2004 we’ve been teasing you
with mere glimpses of Richard Hatch’s Great War
of Magellan comic book, the series derived from his Sci-fi
universe of the same name. Well, come February 25, we’re
going to tease you some more. A whole lot more.
2/25 sees the debut of the THE OFFICIAL GREAT WAR OF MAGELLAN
COMIC MAGAZINE: REVENANT. This all around look at the
making of the first year of the GWoM comic book features
an interview with Richard Hatch on the series; an article
on the making of the live action trailer – along
with stills from his mini epic; and excerpts from the
script of the our coming first release ‘Legacy.’
There is also a preview of our plans for our year one
story arc entitled ‘Revenant,’ an abundance
of art from comic series illustrator Lucius Romero; and
much more from the gang at BLAM! Comics.
This is an item you will not want to miss, and you, you
lucky fanatics, get the first shot at owning it before
we even solicit to the mass market by heading down to
Florida this week. Nowhere else, pork chop. Hey, sun,
fun, scantily clad people… and that’s just
in the comic books.

ROGUE
RENEWED
So,
you’ve all seen the keen little site the boys put
up some months back, enticing headlines, pretty pictures
and whatnot. A quarterly e-mag was promised, monthly updates
to boot so that fresh content was introduced even within
issues on regular basis. All that’s now gone.
OK, maybe not all of it, or maybe even none of it. OK,
yeah, some of it’s stayed.
While we will be updating the online Rogue Review section
every month, we’re only giving you one article at
a time. You see, we’re saving the bulk of it up
for our annual print magazine. A yearly themed review,
compiling all the articles and features we’ve given
you online, plus ever so much more. Print is dead, you
say. But we say there’s nothing like the feel of
flipping through a glossed up magazine, almost as good
as flipping through a glossed up wo—oops, did I
say that out loud?
Uh-hem! In other Rogue News, we are proud to announce
our latest crack-head scheme: The Rogue Review Unauthorized
Guides. That’s right, piggies, just for you we examine
in depth those bits of pop culture that have lacked a
good, close examination… ah, in depth… yeah.
What are we gendering at without permission? Well, that’s
top secret for now, but more news as it comes.
www.roguereview.com
THE
“THIS TIME WE MEAN IT” DEPT.
Yes, yes, yes, we’ve been promising you a whoop-dee-doo
new mega-website for months now, but our web designer
lives in Spain and she’s always complaining about
the rain there, and how it falls mainly on the plain.
When we ask her what this has to do with our site, she
starts saying things in Spanish, the tone of which makes
us glad we can’t speak Spanish. It could have something
to do with us not getting her all the files she needs
to finish, but we doubt it.
OK, OK, OK, here’s the truth: we changed our minds.
Not just about Rogue Review (as mentioned above) but about
a bunch of things relating to our business. Where we’re
going and what we want to do now is fairly different then
where we were two years ago when we started planning this
venture; and rather than redefine ourselves in mid-debut,
we decided to push things back a bit a give ourselves
the time we needed to restructure the site and our business.
But late this Spring, you will see a new vision, a new
evolution of the 3p2c/BLAM! Entertainment brand. We promise.
No fingers crossed this time. The confusion will end!!!!

NEW
COMIC SITE UNCOVERED: BUY STUFF!
A secret cabal of BLAM! Comic members have started an
online comic store! Just to be nice to them, we are making
our advance issues available through them before they
hit the mass market, so head on over to comicslop for
all your comic and collectible needs!

THE
FINAL SQUEAL
So that’s a wrap, pig boys and pig girls. I’ll
be paying my next visit to your inboxes before our jaunt
down to sunny Florida this February with info on the new
BLAM! Blog called The Hammer that we’re setting
up to give you all daily updates on our conventional-type
activities (and a few other activities). Thanks for signing
on, and here’s hoping that you got a chance to roll
around in the mud with someone you loved this President’s
Day!
Keepin’ my nose to the ground and lovin’ it,
Tiny
Fred
