ANNOUNCING THE NEW COMIC FROM WORDBURGLAR!


Wordburglar has been working on this high concept idea about the former ruler of a sinister, snake-based society of snake-inspired terrorists who, failing to rule the globe, must rely on his fallback career, working at a pizza place. The character, and much of the cast of supporting characters, were originally introduced in Snakor’s Pizza Super Special Special and a short run comic ‘zine distributed during Nerdapalooza. Arcana Comics have now stepped on board to help writer/co-creator Wordburglar and his comic partners Kody Peters (pencils/colours) and Dave Howlett (inks/letters) get their satire of G.I. Joe out to the masses by publishing the comic on their site, with the end result hopefully leading to a print edition as a trade paperback or in separate comic form. If you like what you see and read, hit up Arcana and let them know you want to see it in print.

As of the writing of this announcement, Arcana has 13 pages of the new comic up and another page is added every Wednesday (aka comic day, for the uninitiated). Check out SNAKOR’S PIZZA here:

Hokey Religions Live!


The release of the Hand’Solo Records mixtape Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons (are no match for a good blaster) was celebrated with a live show featuring performances by Wordburglar, More Or Les, Noah 23, Baracuda, Royce Birth and Brockway Biggs. Luckily, Alex Stephens was in the house with all of his gear and he has made his audio recording of the show available to us. So, being the kind folks that we are, Hand’Solo Records has decided to take our favourite songs from the show and offer them up as a free download.
