The latest penl is waiting for you at KIWIMANCOMICS.COM!!

Well it's Friday again! This month of  course the Auckland NZ comic and pop culture convention Armageddon

In some patient news, Kiwiman publisher DMC (associated with Gotham Comics ) confirmed today that they will not be releasing any new issue at this month's convention. The continuing downturn in econimic prospects is ultimately behind the hold up, advertisers have been hit hard by the recession. DMC has several issues planned as they have a well stocked backlogue of material.

The last time DMC were in a position to release their last book was in October 2009 with issue 12. That issue contained the final chapter of the three part KIWIMAN story, "Crossover on Finite Islands", and boasted the best production values of the series so far with great paper grades and fantastic printing. Kudos to Jeremy and his team at DMC comics and here's to better days in the near future! DMC hopes to issue it's (unlucky for some) number 13 next year at the Wellington Expo in April (9/10th) 2011 at the TSB Bank Arena.

A new 5 page Kiwiman story had been received by DMC but as yet has not been confirmed for publication in any of the issue slated for future publication. Though the story may instead run as a featured extra on KIWIMANCOMICS.COM

Lastly this! The NZCC (New Zealand Comics Collective) Auckland division collected art from various NZ comic makers to make the promo-poster bellow.

The NZCC will have a stall selling NZ comics from NZ comics makers from all over the (world?) country at the pulp culture convention. This stall is very handy for folks making comics in NZ to meet up at and to have their comics sold. The deal is that the NZCC will display and sell on behalf of anyone who sends them their work, taking 10 percent commision towards costs and expenses. Generally once a certain threshold of earnings has been met (I think it's about $10.00) then the contributor is paid out.
