Some D18 praise from across the pond

Still not sold on the Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers trade paperback? Well, former Marvel UK editor and the man behind the curtain at Down the Tubes and ROK Comics, John Freeman, had this to say about our TP preview:

“I really enjoyed this. It certainly puts new meaning into ‘costumed heroes’(!) The pace and script are strong, the humour evident throughout and the characterisation a delight.”

Looks like your only choice is to pre-order the book (Diamond Previews order code: Jul08-4207)

Disruption? We sent him there with a scholarship!!!

This poor schlub in the pecker suit got busted for allegedly “disrupting” a graduation. You’d be excited too if you’d just earned an advanced degree in “Novelty Costume Theory.”

People wearing animal costumes we can take, but…

…this is ridiculous. Sugar Bush the Superstar Squirrel?! Really?!! I’m pretty sure Mimi once filed a complaint against Snake for calling her “Sugar Bush.”

Someone’s getting hit with a baseball bat over this.

Word on the street (specifically, on the corner of Press Release Road and Web Hype Boulevard) is that the Silent Devil himself, Christian Beranek, is part of the troika running the new Disney graphic novel division, Kingdom Comics. Check out the details here and here.

I have only one question: Does this mean Division 18 is going to Disney World? There’s a certain pantsless duck the Union needs to have a few words with…
