is aimed at an 8 to 80 audience and looks to bring some fun back to comics. The
first issue features a $2.95 cover price and contains 36 pages of story and art
plus two full letters pages and ads parodying “old skool” ads seen in Marvel and
DC comics for X-Ray specs, giant monsters, etc. The issue also contains many pop

retailer to share an early look at Zoom Suit with you, be sure to put in your
request now.

Suit, created by John Taddeo, can be seen online at www.superverse.com.
