Upcoming Heroic Publishing Titles
Heroic Publishing has sent us several emails that outline some of its current and future digital and print comics.
WOWIO Relaunches: Bye Bye Free Downloads
WOWIO relaunched yesterday under its new owner Platinum Studios, and the first thing I’ve noticed is the free sponsored downloads appear to be a thing of the past. While you can read the issues online for free, you need to be connected to the Interweb in order to get that freebie. If you want to download for offline reading later, the prices seem to fluctuate based on the title being offered.
That’s a real bummer.
On the plus side, when you are reading the individual pages, you can save and download the images. You’ll have to do some renaming, but at least you aren’t stuck paying 99-cents and up for a “free” comic book. I’m sure this exploit will be fixed in the very near future, once word gets out to Platinum.
So what can you get? How about the new issue of Flare Adventures #20?
FLARE ADVENTURES #20 features a magnificent cover by comics legend Frank Brunner, plus two complete adventures.
In the classic tale, “The Night Eternal,” by Dennis Mallonee and Mark Propst, comics’ glittering goddess of the light once again takes up the mantle of Eos, goddess of the dawn, and returns to Olympus to save the realm of the gods from the machinations of the night-goddess Nyx. This adventure also features a flashback guest appearance by DARK MALICE, and surprising revelations about the history of the world of FLARE and the LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONS.
There you go.
Mark Beachum Returns to Liberty Comics
In the second issue of Liberty Comics, Heroic Publishing tells the tale of the Menace of the Leopard God. The tale is set in 1947 and features the battle between Tigress and the Golden Warrior.
LIBERTY COMICS #2 also features Chapter One of “The Origin of Giant,” a twelve-page adventure by Dennis Mallonee and Chris Marrinan, plus a bonus three-page Liberty Girl featurette by Nat Gertler and Rusty Haller.
This issue also sees Mark Beachum jumping on board to contribute, and is the first of several projects he is working on with Heroic, including several adventures of Flare, and Fantastic Girl.
And as always, this an other Heroic Publishing titles can be found for free at WOWIO.com.

Each time I mention Wowio.com, I get at least one person asking how the Wowio system works. It is free to sign up, the titles available are free to download, but you are limited to a certain number of downloads per day. There are some great titles available via Wowio, and if your budget is tight, and you are looking for some indie comics to get your hands on, then by all means, give Wowio a go.
Seven Samuroid Available for Free
