ComixTribe Releases: FEBRUARY 2012

| January 29, 2012 | 0 Comments

January was a banner month for ComixTribe, but February will be even bigger!

Our latest book, SCAM #1 by writer/artist Joe Mulvey, which released last week in just 21 comic shops, was IGN.com‘s Comic Book Pick of the Week , was featured on iFanboy and Bleeding Cool, and received a 9 out of 10 rating from Newsarama.

SCAM is X-Men meets Oceans 11″ and involves a team of super-powered grifters on the biggest con of their lives…taking down a Vegas casino and getting revenge on a former teammate who double-crossed them.   It’s better to die a conman, than live like a mark!

After selling out of our initial print run, we’re going back to press on a second printing of SCAM #1, at the same time we print THE RED TEN #2, our February new release.

THE RED TEN is a superhero murder mystery, and is also getting rave reviews and selling very well at retailers across North America.
