The Boston Comics Roundtable table at MICE did gangbuster sales at MICE this past weekend, with the top selling book spot going to the debut Boston Powers spin-off The Indomitable Worm Man from the team of the Minks and Mark Borok. This was the first appearance of this highly enjoyable new comics at a convention, and all 3 creators were at the table. Also making a debut was first-time BCR exhibitor Mary Dumas, whose graphic novels The Lucky Ones and Extreme Retirement also found favor with the buying public, as did Cam Lee’s Leon X Lykos; Julie Di Salvio’s perennially popular kids series Astro Cat, James Mobius’ Punk Rock Space Girl Adventures; Jack Ryder’s Skull Force Agents, Reggie Themistocle’s Stranger on Earth; Deftbeck’s Wonder Calmers, Jesse Schuh’s Year Round Days, Dan Mazur’s Lunatic, and a whole slew of adorable mini comics from Sacha Kenton. Of course, the BCR books themselves, including Boston Powers and Inbound 5 were there as well, and as always the BCR playing cards were the best selling item overall. This is probably BCR’s last show for the year, but lots of the above titles are available at our online store, so gift shopping from BCR is still possible.

BOSTON POWERS # 6!!
Kurt Ankeny’s masterful cover features The Blue Lobster and current nemesis, the Bookworm. The sixth issue of Boston Powers – BCR’s collection of superhero comics for kids, set in and around Boston – is now available! The new issue features 4 all-new stories, colorful, funny and fun, and more-than-appropriate for ages 8 and up. Kids from Massachusetts might even recognize their own hometown or neighborhood in any of these locally-set adventures.
The new issue features the return of several Boston-based heroes from previous issues:
–– Earthboy, the environmental kid-hero guided by the spirit of Henry Thoreau takes off from the Boston Aquarium to face a fiendish fisherman, The Boston Angler. Written by Scott Harris-King, drawn by Reggie Themistocle.
— The Conductor‘s heroic exploits again revolve around the “T,” this time she meets a new villain, the Forgemaster. Jason Doring, writer, with art by Ben Humeniuk.
— The Blue Lobster claws his way back to the pages of Boston Powers, this time entering the BPL to take on the ravenous Bookworm. By Dan Mazur.
— Plus a new character, The South End Avenger, premieres in a tasty adventure from the team of Deb Lang and Robert Christie.
— And once again a spectacular cover by Kurt Ankeny.
All stories are by Boston creators (with a few special guest out-of-town collaborators).
