New Star Comics relaunch, silent auction, and more
Midweek update: Mighty Boomers, Garbage Man to be featured in one book
Norman, Oklahoma-based New Star Comics is planning a soft relaunch of its New Star Comics line with “New Star Comics” #1.
According to the New Star Comics Facebook page, the book will feature Garbage Man: The Trash Bagged Defender and The Mighty Boomers in one title.
Creators Tanner Feuerborn and Tyler Tarlton are the creators behind New Star Comics’ “The Mighty Boomers,” about Oklahoma-based superheroes, and “Garbage Man,” a street-level vigilante who uncovers a conspiracy targeting the homeless.
Both The Mighty Boomers and Garbage Man take place in Oklahoma City, and the characters inhabit the same world.
“New Star Comics” #1 will be available at this weekend’s OAFCon in Norman. Each issue is slated to contain two full comic stories, a newsletter, and additional material.
OAFCon will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 17 at the Embassy Suites in Norman, Oklahoma.
Admission is $10; $5 for members of the Oklahoma Alliance of Fans.
Kids 10 and under are free.
