    And for the Walking dead fans. Or Zombie fans in general.

    How does that sound?

    So you get to watch one of the best zombie films ever, with some popcorn and drink thrown in and when you leave the cinema screen you have the midnight launch variant for THE WALKING DEAD #115 waiting for you.
    AND you might even win a limited edition Rick Grimes bust!

    You only pay a tenner.
    A MEASLY TENNER!

    I was in on Monday and the Guy on the counter said that it was a worldwide event being organised by the publishers, He had no Info on what was going to happen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭MarkHall


    As far as I know its up to stores to organize themselves. They just have to have the publishers backing to sell the book early. Since they are not permited to sell before Wednesday.
    Some of the FP over in England are doing Zombie breakfasts and opening earlier to let folks pick up stuff.


    Some are going with Midnight openings. Some are just doing regular business hours.

    Gail Simone signing in Sub city Comics this Friday 11th oct from 5:30pm
    as part of her being guest of honor for Octocon this weekend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭MarkHall


    Is Octocon not shooting itself in the foot by having her do a free signing the day before you have to pay to see her?
    Isn't the con 30 euro to go to? I know its actually membership for the Octocon group.
    Richard morgan is doing a signing in Hodges Figgis Bookstore, 17:00 - 19:00.

    Surely that is going to cost them footfall over the weekend?
    Or do you have to be a member of Octocon to go to these signings since they are on their weekend Schedule?


  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭statomosh


    Simone signing is open to everyone as far as i know,they did the same last year with brian talbot signing in forbidden planet on the friday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭MarkHall


    Only a few more days till this is out.
    Gordon Rennie and PJ Holden's Dept. Of Monsterology
    https://www.facebook.com/DeptOfMonsterology

    Monsterology_01_COVER_web.jpg
    I'm looking forward to seeing what the lads Deliver.

    But PJ and Gordon already have their first signings sorted out.
    They'll at Big Bang Comics in Dublin on October 25th, and then at Forbidden Planet Belfast on the 26th for their Halloween extravaganza.
    The guys will sign comics, bring Dept. of Monsterology goodies and chat about making comics.
    Will update with times when i get them.
    From the Big Bangs newsmail.
    PJ will also be selling his artwork, including some of his brilliant watercolors.
    They're only €30 for an A4 head sketch, check out some examples of his stuff.
    Hit him on the twitter machine if you are looking for a nice commission.
    (and don't just ask for a Judge Dredd, make him sweat, ask for a Uncle Scrooge McDuck or something like that)
    (or The Elephant Man without the mask)

    It is a way of ensuring people who can't make Octocon get to see the guests and both Subcity and Hodges Figgis are Key Vendors with trade stalls at Octcon so it is an arrangement which suits everyone.

    The guests of honour don't just do signings at Octocon they take part in the discussion panels, and those attending can take part in the discussions and ask questions at the Guest of honor Q&A.

    Also there is an early bird ticket/memebership for Octocon which is only 20 euro which anyone can get for many months before the convention.

    The Same with Eurocon/Shamrokcon next August.

    Sunday, 17 November at 12:00pm-1:30pm
    Smock Alley.
    Are you interested in telling a visual story? Two graphic novel creators will share tips and information about how to successfully create a graphic novel.

Gerry Hunt’s graphic novels Easter 1916: The Rebellion That Set Ireland Free, At War With the Empire and 1913 – Larkin’s Labour War recount Irish history in a powerful way.

    Back with Big Bang Signings.

    https://www.facebook.com/events/217752341739403/?previousaction=join&ref_dashboard_filter=calendar&source=1
    Description The Big Bang. is proud to host comic artists MING DOYLE, JOE QUINONES and MARIS WICKS for another of our awesome signings!

    MING DOYLE
    Probably better known for her work on Brian Wood's MARA and the artist in the new story arc of QUANTUM & WOODY, Ming also has done a ton of covers and a short story recently with Kelly Sue DeConnick for the WITCHING HOUR Vertigo anthology.
    (stil in stock, true believers!)

    JOE QUINONES
    Joe has been around for the last couple of years, starting with TEEN TITANS GO and then GREEN LANTERN with Kurt Busiek and is of late a popular cover artist for DARK HORSE, DC and MARVEL (the last thing you'll have seen him lately on would be the recent CAPTAIN MARVEL covers)
    He also has a BLACK CANARY/ZATANNA project coming out with Paul Dini soon, the lucky bastard.

    MARIS WICKS
    Maris is the artist of (the really, really good) PRIMATES, which is currently sold out but due back in stock soon!
    She is also a writer AND a colourist, so we'll be seeing much more of her in the future.
