If my next birthday party does not feature a Sith plus Storm Troopers MC Hammer dance routine, questions will be asked.

The guys over at Sidekick Cast are the first take to take advantage of our reviewer’s preview, and have given The Dark four stars!
When I started the first issue I thought ‘Ok this seems like your standard dark avenger vigilate superhero story with a nice little sci-fi premise for the powers’. I was wrong. The main protagonist reads like the bastard love child of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne with a hint of the tortured soul of Frank Castle. The idea of information as a weapon is taken to it’s literal conclusion in this story and although it may seem like the stuff of science fiction I suspect Lynch has been flicking through the pages of The New Scientist as liquid information is one of the next big steps in digital information transfer. This is very much on the fringe of science-fact.
By the end of the book everything I thought I knew had been turned on it’s head and I was totally sucked in.
It’s great to see the book already going down well, and hopefully people reading the review will be inspired to pick up that all important first issue.

Thanks to guys at Sidekick Cast!
The first official press release for my new comic book mini-series “The Dark”, with AAM/Markosia, was despatched today.
The first issue should be available digitally from August, with the remaining four issues out by the end of the year, with a graphic novel version in the works shortly after that.
There is a preview version online that you rate and comment upon:
Monkeys with Machineguns are supporting the Born Free Adopt A Monkey campaign and have just, through a concerted cereal eating campaign, adopted Lucky.
Lucky was found in a town close to Lake Malawi. Passers-by saw him tied to a tree in a market in the centre of a rubbish pit and called the sanctuary. Even though he was well fed, he had not been looked after properly. The rope and chain that tied him to the tree was too tight and dug into his skin. The team took him straight to the sanctuary, freed him from his rope and chains and within weeks, his injuries healed.
After four weeks in quarantine, Lucky joined Buddy’s troop.
Soon, he’ll be joining a new family which will be released into the wild in November 2009.
This is a fantastic and very worthwhile campaign – all you have to do is keep eating cereal and posting the codes online to continue to adopt monkeys.
Once you have registered your codes, you can download a large picture of your chosen monkey and a PDF of an adoption certificate.
Not satisfied with the hearty dose of monkey-love they received at the Bristol Comic Con, the punishment gluttons of Sidekick Cast have been at it again!
This time, they’ve “gone all intimate” with my fellow monkey Stu.Art as a guest Sidekick in their regular podcast. There are some wise words spoken, some shameless pimping committed, and my name is taken in vain at least three times.
So, if you want to hear what Stu is like without me there to restrain him … Click here to listen to Sidekick Cast Episode #21
