VS Comics #3 preview now online

Mike Garley, TV and film’s James Moran edit a monthly digital comic called VS Comics, an all-genre, creator-owned, monthly digital comic.

The team currently have a 1p preview issue on sale (vscomics.bigcartel.com) which features a bunch of cool comics including Eponymous, which Mike wrote (art by Martin Simmonds and letters by Mike Stock).

In Eponymous #3 Gridlock, a terrorist cell takes a hostage in a busy London Underground and refuse to talk to anyone except Casey forcing the police to leave this potentially volatile situation to her!

"This action packed issue is a great jumping on point (not that one’s needed just yet)," says Mike, "as we start to get down to business and focus on the characters that make up the world of Eponymous.

VS Comics #3 also includes Day and Night, Swan Song and Ghost Club, which are all worth checking out. Other creators featured are Paul Alexander, Nadine Ashworth, Luke Butland, Ned Hartley, Rebecca Morse,  Barry Spiers, Nicolas Vial and Patrick Walsh.

Paying for the preview is simple via Paypal. Tthe only reason they’re taking a payment for the preview issue is that bigcartel requires a minimum payment of 1p.Or, for a measly £2, you could simply bite the bullet and buy the whole comic,  available as a downloadable PDF for only £2 here.

Radio interviews with James Moran and VS Comics creators

Panel Borders: James Moran Vs Comics

Continuing a month of shows about webcomics, Alex Fitch talks to screenwriter James Moran (Cockneys vs Zombies, Torchwood) about his new webcomic Day + Night, an urban vampire tale that casts the creatures of the night as 'sharks on legs' rather than the sparkly urbane figures found elsewhere. Also, in a panel recorded at Thought Bubble 2012, Vs Comics editor Mike Garley talks about the strip he's writing - Eponymous - and introduces creators Nich Angell (Tabby and Trout), Ned Hartley (Ghost Club), Adam Christopher (The Sentinel) and Sally Jane Thompson (Happy Birthday) who present the strips they're contributing to the online anthology comic, with the help of designer Mike Stock.

6pm, Sunday 17th March 2013 / 4.30 pm, Tuesday 19th March, Resonance 104.4 FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com / extended podcast at www.panelborders.wordpress.com
