Secret Identities release!
I'm excited to announce that there's just one week left until the release of Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology!

For those who still haven't heard about this book, Secret Identities is a graphic novel collection of new superhero stories by and about Asian Americans. If you want to find out more, there's plenty of material to browse in the PDF preview, or the video trailers.

I highly encourage you to pick up this book, if you're someone who loves comic books and is impatient with how slow the mainstream publishers have been to leave behind the straight-white-male majority in its characters. (In other words ... like, all of my friends? :D) Please spare a few bucks to support it - it's less than $15 at Amazon! I think this project deserves major success, and I'd love to send the message to the comics industry that Asian American superheroes DO have an audience - and deserve a place, front and center - in comic books.

(Those of you who know [info]ratzeo, he is happy to have you buy the book through him and take advantage of his sweet discount at the Comics Dungeon. Heck, even if you don't know him, he'd probably do it anyway as long as you're local.)

Yay! We're having Perry Shen come to UCD to present the book on April 20th. :) I'm super-excited!

Are you buying the book off Amazon?? :)

That's so awesome! Tell me how it goes, okay?

I'll be buying the book through [info]ratzeo, who gets a volume discount at a local comic book shop. I figure that getting actual comic book dealers (as opposed to Amazon) aware of, and buying, the book is helpful.

Did you want me to get you a signed copy of the anthology? Because I can totally do that. :D
