Hey everyone,

Rob Anderson here. I've been away a while (busy writing comics), but wanted to stop by and mention I have books in this month's (August) and next month's Previews.

First up, REX, ZOMBIE KILLER -- my creator-owned series with co-creator artist DaFu Yu -- is available for pre-order right now at your LCS. It picks up from the One-Shot last year and will be 4 issues, shipping bi-monthly. The first issue hits stands just in time for Halloween! It's listed under Big Dog Ink (order code AUG131097).

You can read more about it on the website right here -- www.RexZombieKiller.com -- but here's a couple images....

Then, in the September Previews (shipping in November) the issue I wrote of MY LITTLE PONY: SPIKE MICRO-SERIES will be up for pre-order. IDW announced this at SDCC, and Brian was nice enough to give it a shout-out on the show, so I wanted to show off one of the covers by Amy Mebberson. (with interiors by the talented Agnes Garbowska.)

Spike receives some "pets" in the mail -- just add water -- which might sound familiar to some fans of a certain age (like me).

If you like pony stuff, I hope you check it out.

Thanks for looking!

Rob

    @Krescan Thanks so much! I hope you like it! Things are going to get even crazier in #2 of the miniseries...

    I'm not familiar with this book, but how could I say no to DCBS' offer or to one of the members of this community? I like dogs! I like zombies! I like apes! Got #1 and the one-shot on my order.

    i'll give you a little headstart @fredzilla

    the title suggests that Rex would be the focal point. The cover leads you to believe that the gorilla is the star of the show, there would be a small contingent of weirdos such as the kind that root for Emperor to fry Luke to a crisp (these people were also the same ones that were cheering on Hollywood Hogan and the rest of the NWO before everyone was doing it) that will tell you the zombies themselves are the heroes.....

    They are all wrong!

    Keep your eye on a little Corgi named Buttercup, she may be lower on the roster but she's #1 in your hearts.

    @fredzilla we got yer dogs, zombies & apes! (ha) Hope you get a kick out of it all.

    @Krescan I can't argue with you; people come for the gorilla and zombies, but at least some leave fans of Buttercup....including artist DaFu Yu himself! Here's proof in an interview by DaFu up on First Comics News today:

    @fredzilla wow, I didn't even realize DCBS had that special offer going on the One-Shot until I just looked. Yowza! Looks like folks can pre-order the Rex Mini-series #1 at a great discount AND then also snag the One-Shot from last year for just a buck more (though they note "while supplies last".)

    Those guys are great!

    @RobAnderson, I heard the book and the deal mentioned last week on the Previews episode where Rex, Zombie Killer was the sponsor. So shout out to CGS for spreading the word!

    Never underestimate Buttercup:)
    I am thrilled to be working with Rob and the rest of the Rex Zombie Killer team again. I am having a blast drawing all the animals. Wait till you guys see the cover to Issue#3, Rob came up with an awesome idea.
    Thanks everyone for your support.
