Welcome back to ’Warped Week, a weekly recap of what we’ve been up to at ’Warp Central recently. If you missed anything, now’s the perfect time to catch up!
On Tuesday, I let you know that my latest comic-book review had been posted at the site Comics for Sinners. This one was for Red Sonja: The Long Walk to Oblivion, about the redheaded barbarian warrior fighting a demon. This, of course, led to a plug for SWC’s own red-haired action heroine: Lorelei, the soul-stealing succubus who stars in the graphic novel Lorelei: Sects and the City and the comic Lorelei Presents: House Macabre.
Thursday was “May the 4th Be With You,” that annual Star Wars celebration created by fans back in the 1980s that’s become even more popular these days, given the franchise’s triumphant explosion in recent years. Not one to overlook a promotional opportunity, I pointed you to a Pandora Zwieback Star Wars sketch I did back in 2015…and got in a shameless plug for the Pan nocvels and comics!
Friday was the U.S. release date of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2014 sci-fi blockbuster from Marvel Films, which reminded us of the time our friend, painting legend Bob Larkin, did a cover painting of Star-Lord, the Guardians’ leader, back in the 1970s. And while we were at it, we reminded you of The Bob Larkin Sketchbook, a collection of Bob’s incredible pencil art that’s available exclusively from the SWC webstore.
And yesterday was not only Free Comic Book Day—so we made you aware of the free digital comics we always have available through our webstore—but International Bombshells’ Day (thanks, Victoria’s Secret!) as well. The latter provided us with another opportunity to promote our Lorelei and Heartstopper titles—because Lorelei and Sebastienne Mazarin are a couple of bombshells, after all, even if they don’t parade around in lingerie and angel wings!
And that’s the week. What’s coming next? You’ll have to keep checking this blog during the days ahead—or join us on Sunday for the next installment of ’Warped Week. See you then!
