*EXPLOSIVE COMICS OPENS ITS DOOR AT COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL
  
Fans attending the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con International will be able to fear witness a real live birth – not in the traditional sense (besides, amniotic fluid can get messy) – but with the introduction of Explosive Comics onto the comic book scene!
  
Located at booth S 12 of the small press section (Explosive Comics/Giga Studios booth), Explosive Comics will be releasing its two initial publications: MR. MASSIVE #1 and OH! THE HORROR! one-shot.  Creators Jeff McClelland and Artboy_X will be on hand to sign books, sketch characters, and interact with  fans for the convention’s duration, from preview night on Wednesday July 19^th to closing time on Sunday, July 23^rd.  In addition to these and other books, fans can pick up a free Mr. Massive t-shirt and bookmark while supplies last!

  

Explosive Comics would also like to invite fans to visit the official website, open during construction.  In the coming weeks, all will be able to log on to [LINK: http://www.mrmassivecomics.com/] for news, exclusive content (including Mr. Massive’s definitive origin), message boards, an online store and  more! Check back often as the site is receiving continuous updates and looks to be fully functional soon!
  
In conjunction with this announcement, Explosive Comics would like to provide fans with preview to both new issues:
