Folks are
raving about my new book with Rhys ap Gwyn "Introducing... RED HOT!" Just out from Earthbound Comics! "A surprisingly well-rounded comic-book... has a distinct Justice Society of America feel... Mike Luoma has plotted a story that has to do fifty things at once and convey it all subtly. Rhys ap Gwyn is up to the task in terms of the art... One could make a connection to the feel of the Dini/Timm Superman cartoon. That said, it also feels unique. Mike and Rhys have managed to create a living breathing universe, never insulting the reader with patronizing imagery or redundant narration. Characters existed before and after, and act accordingly. It also, as you’d expect and hope for, has some cracking superhero fights." - Ian Austin @ MCM Buzz "I was astounded by the lovely artwork by Rhys ap Gwyn and Mike Luoma’s snappy script... If this is anything to go by, the creators at Earthbound comics are fast becoming heroes of mine, never mind their great comic books. Highly recommended." - Glenn Fleming @ Crikey UK "a good take on the "legacy" hero... a well-written version of some of the themes Geoff Johns was attempting in his most recent JSA run. However, it's a little less on the angst, and has a really great twist that makes the book a little bit more readable than the usual young-hero-proving-himself fare. There's actually a pretty cool undercurrent of conflict, making it a very clever way of handling material that the reader has (more than likely) encountered previously... Although I enjoyed the writing... what makes Introducing: Red Hot a standout book is the artwork by Rhys ap Gwyn." - Gordon Dymowski @ Blog THIS, Pal! |

From WCAX: "Mike Luoma
is no stranger to media. He's been a radio DJ
for years. These days you can find him on The Point-- 104.7
FM.
But he's also branching out into another medium. Luoma is also a comic book writer and artist and his latest effort is... Alibi Jones: Blind Eye. For more, watch the video from The :30." |

Souverain #1
Souverain #1 collects four short stories from the anthology title LADY FIGHT under one cover. There's also a BRAND NEW illustrated prose short story - SOUVERAIN: THE KID! - and a new pin-up created exclusively for this first issue of Souverain's new, ongoing series! It's the perfect way to meet the woman who works with the U.S. Army by day and strikes out at night on her own as the vigilante SOUVERAIN! Stories by Mike Luoma and Ben Ferrari, Art by Ben Ferrari, Kitae Kim and Vic Moya. Cover Pencils and Inks by Seth Frail, Color Art by Chuck Michael Obach. "Mike Luoma (writes) two hard-biting, hot button-pressing tales. Think Frank Miller’s HOLY TERROR without all of that bat-shit annoying Frank Miller-ness and you’ll get the drift of this one. This book successfully mixes real world issues with superheroism, while remaining respectful to the men and women fighting overseas and pointing a finger at atrocities performed around the world. This is a fun book which empowers women while it entertains and inspires hope." - Ain't It Cool News. |

Good
Samaritan: Unto Dust #1
1965 - Boston, Massachusetts - Father Bill Sullivan is a Roman Catholic priest with a secret – he wields an awesome power that he believes is given to him by God. The "Power of the Holy Spirit" manifests around him as nebulous tentacles of purple and gold energy and smoke. It allows "Good Samaritan" (as he calls himself) to fly, grab criminals and subject thugs to the experience of their own crimes in his "Confessional". He occasionally renders ultimate judgment by turning perps into dust while proclaiming, "Remember Man that thou art DUST and unto dust thou shall return!" |

PANTHEA OBSCURA: DEIFORNICATION
The GRAPHIC NOVEL! The Deep, once Poseidon, gathers the gods together. He hopes to persuade the other gods they should make mankind remember them again! Mother is opposed to letting humans remember. She feels mankind needs more time to evolve on its own. And she warns them - if they once again interfere actively with mankind, then The Destroyer, their brother Troy, will be free to do so as well! Whatever happened to the gods of old? For thousands of years humankind worshiped "gods", actual beings of great power that lived among us. Two thousand years ago the "gods" made humankind forget them, forget that the gods actually existed. Forget they walked among us. Forget they were more than mere myths and legends. Why? The gods had their reasons. Some hoped to see humankind evolve in their absence, hoped to see humans become beings of greater power and abilities. Others kept their reasons to themselves. The gods disappeared into myth, legend and folklore. The "gods", forgotten, disappeared into the human population, kept their powers hidden, kept to themselves. Until the day before yesterday...

Grant
says "...reminds me of some of the better
independent comics published in the late 70's..."

HOLY SH!T:
OR... PAT ROBERTSON IS
THE ANTI-CHRIST New Second Edition! Digitally Remastered! A black and white comic covering the origins of Chrisitanity and why Robertson is the opposite of what he claims to be... done with humor! I digitally cleaned up the lettering and sweetened the illustrations. The free hand lettering is now easier to read, and the added shading and gray scale backgrounds help the illustrations flow better, creating an overall easier to read book while preserving the feel of the original edition. There's a new introduction, and the Second Edition also includes my original essay that inspired the comic, "God Is Love, Pat Robertson Is The Anti-Christ, And Almost Everything You Know About Christianity Is Wrong", as well as a full bibliography of my source material. |

Neo-Gnosis Before the Graphic Thingy "Holy Shit: Or... Pat Robertson Is The Anti-Christ", there was NEO-GNOSIS! This book takes its name from a notebook I filled discovering "Gnostic" Christianity. The contents of the "Neo-Gnosis" notebook make up Part Two; Part One is the extensive essay "God Is Love, Pat Robertson Is The Anti-Christ, And Almost Everything You Know About Christianity Is Wrong", which was greatly condensed and rendered graphically as my comic "Holy Shit:Or Pat Robertson Is The Anti-Christ" NEW EDITION OUT NOW W/BONUS MATERIALS! |
