ACTA_iphoneThe book that started it all is now available on the iPhone and iPod Touch! Just download  the iVerse Media app for $1.99 and start downloading all kinds of cool comics. There are currently two Black Coat books – both of which are completely FREE! You can even use the app to subscribe to an entire series of books. (Which should come in handy when the rest of “A Call to Arms” comes out later this year!) Check it out!! “A Call to Arms” #1 was first published in 2006 to critical acclaim and promptly sold out. There has never been a reprinting so if you’d like to read the book, here’s your chance. The book is also available online here for all of you non-iPhoners. The Black Coat’s second series relaunches next week, so if you like what you see here, be sure to head down to your local comic shop and let them know you want to see more!!

This is an action packed, explosive finale to the Black Coat’s second mini series, so don’t miss out.  If you haven’t already told your local comic shop owner to pull everything Black Coat related (and shame on you if you haven’t), then be sure to let them know you want this issue. You can check out preview pages HERE. Here’s the solicitation info: “…Or Give Me Death” Issue 4 of 4 Story By: Ben Lichius and Adam Cogan Written By: Ben Lichius Illustrated By: Dean Kotz Lettered By: Chris Studabaker Colored By: Diego Rodriguez and Ben Lichius   AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER! Order # OCT090684

Synopsis: The Black Coat and Lord Morrow finally square off with the future of the American Colonies hanging in the balance. As British soldiers advance on Lexington green, the second series promises to go out with a bang heard ‘round the world!

SPECIAL NOTE: It appears that the wrong cover art was used in the solicitation for OGMD #3 and #4. The images on this site are the ones that will be on the books. Diamond should be sending an update out to retailers to help straighten things out. Not sure how it happened, but sorry for the confusion.

Oh – and one more thing… The OGMD #1-2 Double Issue comes out this month!! Hurray! Look for it on 10/28!
