Broken Frontier

Speakeasy Comics announced today that it has struck publishing agreements with a new round of creators, bringing their projects together under the Speakeasy Banner. These new projects continue Speakeasy’s commitment to developing both new talent and providing diverse materials for consumption in both the Direct and Mass Markets.

“We’ve been working very, very hard since our official launch -- reading through submissions, finalizing plans, and lining up projects,” explained Speakeasy President Adam Fortier. “I’m thrilled beyond words at the reaction from all segments: retail, reader and creators, to the projects announced thus far, and to what we have lined up for early Summer.”

The company also announced that they were completing an online right-of-passage and opening their own forums, located at the Speakeasy Website. The forums can be accessed via the Speakeasy home page: http://www.speakeasycomics.com

The new projects announced also spotlight Speakeasy’s commitment to not only diverse content, but diverse formats in that several Original Graphic Novels will be part of this new offering, alongside regular monthly comics.

PARTING WAYS: THE NEAR-LIFE EXPERIENCES OF PETER ORBACH

Peter Orbach wants to live. It's too bad he didn't realize this earlier; it won't do him much good now that he's in Hell...

Peter isn't the first person to believe he shouldn't be damned, but he may be the first that's objectively correct. Somehow, his soulless body still lives...and from all appearances, it's doing great without him...

Written by Andrew Foley (Jeremiah: The Last Empire), with Art by Scott Mooney (Diaries of a Moon-Man) and Nick Craine (X-Statix), PARTING WAYS follows one man's journey down two separate paths.

Look for the black and white Parting Ways Graphic Novel in July, offered at a suggested retail price of  $12.99; For art and more information please visit:
