Division 18 signing TODAY at Midtown Comics (well, sort of)

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Okay so it’s not an actual ”signing” per se… but signed books are available at Midtown Comics (Westside) right now! I signed the remaining stock of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers #1, transforming the books from mere small press comics into instant collector’s items.

So put on your rubber gloves, break out the mylar sleeve, and gets a shoppin’!

Aesop Rock = Union Busters!?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Here at the Union, we take pride in our hipness. We know what’s bad and phat and even what’s money. But the only thing more important to us than keeping our collective finger on the pulse of popular culture is keeping our unionized boots across the throats of any scabs that cross our path.

So please enjoy this music video by Aesop Rock that is just filthy with unsanctioned animated novelty costumed scabs, while we polish our brass knuckles and track these suckers down on Google Maps.

THIS WEEKEND: Division 18 at Big Apple Con, Silent Devil at WW Texas

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Keep an eye and wallet out for me at the Big Apple Comic Con (aka, The National) in New York City today (and possibly tomorrow). I’ll be kicking around with Josh Adams at the Neal Adams’ Continuity Studios booth with a few goodies. Why is the Union making time with the Adams family? It’s the worst kept secret in comics, but if you track me down at the show, I’ll clue you in.

If you’re in Texas instead, go check out this weekend’s Wizard World Texas and lasso up a copy of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers #1 from Christian Beranek and the gang at the Silent Devil booth. I said “lasso” because everyone in Texas is a cowboy. Har har.

This poor schlub has never been the same since he left the Union and moved to LA.

Get yer mind outta the gutter!

Hey, look — a rumour about Division 18 from across the pond, by way of the Big Apple Con. Issue 3 should be a lot of fun!

Give thanks… and give comics!

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Forget grilled stickies and meat pies — bring a copy of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers #1 to your Thanksgiving pot-luck festivities instead. In fact, make sure you bring enough for everyone!

No thanks to the scabs!
