DIAMOND COMIC'S TO OFFER ADVANCE COPY OF ZOOM SUIT #1 FOR SPECIAL "FIRST LOOK"

January 25, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Palm Beach, FL –Superverse is including an advance copy of Zoom Suit #1 in the February order pack of all Diamond Comic Distributors customers. The “Team Zoom” Edition, limited to 5,000 copies, is identical to the retail version of Zoom Suit #1 featuring cover art by Billy Tucci, but includes the “Team Zoom” logo. The inclusion of the actual comic with the order pack allows retailers to see and feel the product as well as share it with customers before committing to purchase.

Each $2.95 issue features 36 pages of story and art within a 40 page package which is 60% more content than what is found in the standard 32 page comic with 22 pages of story and art. Zoom Suit #1 also features cover to cover super premium production and paper utilizing the MetalFX printing process throughout the entire book; a process that makes the armor clad teen hero jump off the printed page. The unique processes, printing and paper led to Zoom Suit being referred to as a "Super-Premium" comic book.

Written by John Taddeo and featuring art by Billy Dallas Patton and covers by Bob Layton, Gene Colan, Bart Sears, Jim Starlin, Billy Tucci and Patton, Zoom Suit is based on an award-winning animated short by the same name. In 2005 the short was accepted to over 50 film festivals, including the San Diego Comic Con Film Festival, and screened to over 300,000 theater attendees and potential fans. As well, Zoom Suit was broadcast into 10 million homes on Adelphia Cable’s High Definition Channel.

“I wanted to create a waiting audience for the book,” said series creator John Taddeo. “This preview edition as, well as getting the animation in front of hundreds of thousands of people was a great launching pad for the comic book. Stop by your local comic shop and check it out.”
