Thunder Road Rides Out onto iTunes

The first issue of THUNDER ROAD, a high-action, wide-sweeping, episodic pulp adventure by writer Sean Demory and illustrator Steven Sanders (Marvel’s S.W.O.R.D. and Image Comics’ Five Fists of Science) hit the iTunes storefront this week, offering the first 99 screens of this dystopic military sci-fi blitzkrieg free for iPhone and iPod Touch. This marks Thunder Road as the very first comic to be available on the iPhone, Android, and Nintendo DSi simultaneously!

Thunder Road is a comic that was made exclusively for mobiles – there is no adaptation involved in this series. The free first issue also includes a “world’s first” bonus extra: the very first original mobile comic script. The script was designed and formatted by Robot Comics for a surprisingly visual and effortless reading experience at the end of each Thunder Road installment.

Big guns, fast cars, tough women and nuclear armageddon. It’s The Road Warrior meets Dr. Strangelove.

Thunder Road was originally published in censored editions only on the iTunes market, but Robot Comics is proud to present for the very first time the uncensored 17+ version of this unique comic experience!

Synopsis

The bomb-ravaged American Heartland has been largely left out of the equation, falling prey to unchecked corporate land-barons and motorcycle-riding, nazidope-smoking MEF veterans ravaging the wastes. Some small towns have become fortresses, while others have followed the Soviet model and taken to the road, with clans roaming from one corp-compound to the next. Route 66, Interstate 70 and a dozen other superhighways have become the new frontier, where fortunes can be made with grit, cunning and a steady hand.

Welcome to the Thunder Road.

YON KUMA: Bear Wrestler

The first two issues of YON KUMA are now available on the iTunes marketplace for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Published by Robot Comics and bundled with the new iRobot Comics Viewer, “Yon Kuma” means “Four Bears”, and is an all-out action-packed extravaganza pitting one upstart young bear wrestler against the Four Great Bears! Get ready for 8 issues of intense Bear Wrasslin’ action on your iPhone by writer Josh Hechinger (Comic Book Tattoo, The Grave Doug Freshley) and artist Jorge F. Muñoz.

“Crazy fun! Josh and Jorge spin Yon Kuma firmly in a world of action and comedy. Bunyan Paulson is a character taking the wrestling sport to new heights — and we’re happy to follow.”-Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen)

Josh Hechinger & Jorge Muñoz’s Yon Kuma is a energetic take on pro wrestling, mixed with popular manga motifs and done with strong cartooning. So far very well done, and much better dynamics than in most print comics, let alone online ones. –Steven Grant (Punisher, X, Badlands, Permanent Damage)
