I know you’re excited about issue #1, which will be in stores in just a few short weeks! Everybody at Division 18 central is already hard at work on issue #2, where our favorite costumed goons get jobs in the “real” world. If that doesn’t whet your appetite, here’s a sneak peek of the cover…

Thanks to The Beat for alerting us to this gross violation of UNCP mandates. Looks like Boss Tony’s gonna have to make a few calls to Division 4 in Atlanta.

While some folks like to think the D18 crew is nothing but a bunch of villains, those close to the Union can take comfort in knowing that Division 18 looks out for the people who look out for Division 18.

Take Adam Beranek, one half (with Christian) of the Brothers Beranek, and thus one of the driving forces behind our publisher Silent Devil. But nepotism alone won’t get you into this crew. Adam also satisfies the first rule of UNCP membership by rocking this sweet mascot gear to promote his own Silent Devil graphic novel, Silent Forest! 

These days, Wunderwulf is rich off of the royalties from his comics, and enjoys kicking back with the occasional spirits, crashing a good party, and bumpin furs. Meanwhile, Adam is working on adapting his story Beast of Burden for film.

So hold your head high, Adam, knowing that Snake and the crew will be on call to help you out of any pinch, brass knuckles and baseball bats at the ready. (Sorry, Christian… better dust off that King Arthur gettup.) 

Jen Contino’s interview with Division 18 writer and co-creator, Matt Bergin (ie, me!) is up at The Pulse. Check it out and leave a comment to show your support for the Union.

Now all we need is for me to get busted on a DUI or for Jeremy to flash his vagina to the paparazzi, and this comic will be HUGE! We’re going to make dozens of dollars from this!!!

Check out the Division 18 page at ComicSpace.com, a neat little networking community for people in and around the comic book industry. It’s like MySpace, but without the spam and pedophiles!

 …well, the spam for sure.
