Extra-sized fourth anniversary issue features 56-pages of excitement!
Digital Webbing, the Internet's largest collaborative anthology series, celebrates its fourth anniversary this October! In honor of the event the publisher has assembled a very special edition of DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS #26 to coincide with their annual Mid-Ohio-Con presence, and featuring only regional creators - many of whom will be attending the show for book signings!
"THE PROMETHEUS EFFECT," written by Ryan Scott Ottney (THE LEGEND OF ISIS), with artwork by Joe Dodd (HUMAN TORCH, MARVEL AGE), inks by Justin Holman, colors by Erik V. Lehmann, and lettering by Ed Dukeshire.
"This is a story I wrote during a particularly bad time of my life, about a hero who has nothing left to live for," said Ottney. "It finds him years after a devastating failure, contemplating the role of heroes in our world, and he has to find the strength in himself to keep on going. In the end he discovers what it really means to be hero . but at what cost?"
THE PROMETHEUS EFFECT marks the DWP debut of Ottney and Dodd, joining an
exciting line-up of returning fan-favorites!
"THE LAST PALADIN" returns to DWP this month for its third consecutive and final chapter, written by Ian Ascher, artwork by Mahmud Asrar, colors by Kieran Oats, and lettering by Ed Dukeshire. The evil wizard Osyrus finally has the Princess in his grasp and only the Last Paladin can save her but to do that he must first overcome an ever greater obstacle... his alter ego Dr. Zack Machin.

"This third installment of THE LAST PALADIN will bring the current story to a close and set the stage for an all-new adventure in 2006," said Ascher. "With issue #26 DWP celebrates its 4th anniversary and I consider it an honor to be included with such a strong group of fellow creators for this amazing issue.
Also returning this issue, "THE REVISIONIST: BOMBS AWAY," written by Chad Lambert, pencils by Nadir Balan (JUDO GIRL), inks by Jeremy Freeman, and colors by Mike Langdale. The Revisionist returns for a record fourth appearance in the pages of DWP. This time, he has to stop an explosives expert known as 'Da Bomb'!
"I really wanted to kick up the absurdity factor on this one," says Chad Lambert. "Nadir Balan was the perfect artist to pull off a really bizarre plot twist. I can't wait to see this one in print".
"DREAH: FIGHT KNIGHT," by Sean Dulaney and Ryan Sergeant.
"Sarge's art on this story is going to blow folks away," said Dulaney. "They were raving about the art on EYE OF FIRE, but that was actually drawn back in the summer of '03. Everything he's learned, all the experience he's gained since then shows on every page."

"SHOTGUN MESSENGERS: LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER," written by Kevin D. Melrose, artwork by Dario Carrasco Jr. (STAR WARS), colors by Rich Hiltbrunner. In this 10-page tale of Western horror, a lecherous gambler sets his sights on a pretty farm girl, only to discover he's not the predator but the prey.
"I've been a fan of Dario's work for quite some time, so it's great to finally be collaborating with him," said Melrose.
"WARMAGEDDON," written by Mike Imboden, Illustrated by Robert Rath, and colored & lettered by Jamal Walton. This is the first full-color Warmageddon story, is a continuation of the adventures of Tiegre from WARMAGEDDON ILLUSTRATED #1 and has a tie-in to WARMAGEDDON ILLUSTRATED #2.
DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS #26 will arrive in shops in October, but you can order your copy today through Previews catalogue; only $5.95 for this mega-packed, 56-page anniversary issue!
"There's a reason that DWP is one of the last standing comic anthologies," said DREAH writer, Sean Dulaney. "You can tell the creators are having fun and it's kind of wild after four years to still see people discovering the book."

To further sweeten the deal, many of the creators behind this spectacular extra-sized issue - including L. Jamal Walton, Kevin Melrose, Ian Ascher, Ryan Scott Ottney, Chad Lambert, and Sean Dulaney - will be on hand at the 2005 Mid-Ohio-Con (MOC) this November in Columbus, Ohio to promote the book and sign copies!
"The MOC has become sort of a tradition for us," says Digital Webbing Managing Editor, Ed Dukeshire. "We have a tremendous gathering there every year, so this year we thought it would be fun to devote that month's issues to the regional creators who make the show so much fun! It's a big anniversary for us, and we wanted to celebrate in style!"
