Fresh from the success of THE LEGEND OF ISIS, an all-new JUDO GIRL mini-series, and the relaunch of 10th MUSE, Blue Water Productions has announced nine new projects arriving in comic shops later this year and into the next; each one available through Diamond Comics' Previews.

First the much-talked-about "VICTORIA'S SECRET SERVICE" which debuts with a 75 cent preview issue in September, followed by VSS #1 in December. The story enters on a young American girl who finds out she's been selected to join an elite, clandestine organization - which was formed by Queen Victoria during her reign over the English Empire, and exists today as an international organization.

Nadir Balan who received raves for his work on JUDO GIRL picks up the pencils for the title, while writers Terrance Griep and Darren G. Davis pen the stories.

VSS action figures will also be in stores this November courtesy of Southern Island Toys.

Later this year also marks the debut of two all-new limited series' from the creative minds at Blue Water Productions!

"INSANE JANE" (penciled by Weshoyot Alvitre, written by Zak Hunschar) follows the trials and tribulations of a hapless hairdresser who so badly wants to be a hero that she invents a superhero identity...and tries to fight super villains with less than super powers.

"POWER OF THE VALKYRIE" (penciled by Craig Yeung, written by Darren Davis and Nick Schely) tells the tale of a nurse bequeathed the power of the Norse goddess Valkyrie.

Joining these exciting new titles is a new spin-off of Blue Water's successful TENTH MUSE series, called "THE MUSE," featuring Morgan Sonnet who suddenly finds herself 17-years old and back in high school! This time, at least, she hopes it will be better the second time around.

"THE ODYSSEY" will be making a comeback as a superhero group title. We are launching this as an oversized quarterly adventure series. It will follow the adventures of Isis, tenth Muse, Judo Girl, Atlas and Orion. There will be some other guest appearances in these pages!

Also watch the shops for "WITCH KIDS" by Joe Phillips, following five young adults descended from a variety of mystical lineages. As a group they will deal with mystical events and occult threats, all while trying to grow into a world that still sees them as children. Among the magical cultures, only the Witch Kids seem willing to both acknowledge and confront these threats to reality.

Actress and model Traci Bingham will grace the covers of Blue Water's upcoming pirate tale, "THE BLACKBEARD LEGACY". The story takes place in the year 1715, when corsairs, privateers and pirates still ruled the seas and the veritable king of the pirates was the notorious Blackbeard ... until the world found out he had a daughter. Follow the high seas adventures in this four-issue mini series!

Lastly, "ORION" is back with his own mini-series due in January 2006. Penciled by Brazilian hot-shot artist Alex Sunder and written by Scott Davis, Orion delves into the dark underbelly of Greek mythos--the rumblings of a massive war between the Olympians and the lesser gods sits on the shoulders of a long ignored demi-god whom both sides see as the key.

Blue Water also announced that 2006 will mark the return of JUDO GIRL in her very own ongoing monthly series!

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," said Blue Water president Darren Davis, "There are so many more exciting projects in the wings...all I need is a 30-hour day and 8 days a week."
