SOLICITATIONS: Big Dog Ink announces The In Crowd

Press Release

This summer, prepare for super heroes as you’ve never seen them before.  They’ve got great hair, great bodies and great power.  But great responsibility?  Yeah, not so much!  From the pages of Critter and the Slipstream one-shot comes this fun, fast paced four issue limited series from Big Dog Ink.  Wing-Boy, Lasso Lass, Tiffany and Slipstream team up with brand new character Barnacle to fight crime and help save the world from “High Tide” but will looking good for their reality TV series get in the way of doing good?
In the tradition of the bestselling Big Dog Ink throwback series, Critter, writer Eric Esquivel (Electric Youth) and artist C.B. Zane (Cricket) bring readers a look at a superhero team that is truly not ready for prime time!  With Corey Knaebel contributing on the “B” covers, the art team on the series couldn’t be more vibrant!
