Last year, Man of Action's Steven T. Seagle released "THE BUS: A Camp Midnight Mini" as a Comic-Con exclusive. This low print-run, mini-comic received much praise and fans will be happy to hear that a Camp Midnight graphic novel will be released this Halloween. We also have details on Man of Action's first-ever dedicated panel at Comic-Con:
From the Press Release: "Man of Action's first-ever solo panel at Comic-Con® International: San Diego 2015 will be held on Saturday, July 11, 5:00pm - 6:00pm in Room 9. Man of Action: Taking Comics From Print to Screen Panel. Man of Action's Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle create TV shows (Ben 10, Generator Rex) and write comic books/graphic novels for the Man of Action imprint and Image Comics. Learn from the pros how to turn comics into hit television shows (Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Avengers Assemble) and films (Rouleau and Seagle created the comic book team and characters for the Academy Award-winning film Big Hero 6). Man of Action is producing the feature films Officer Downe and I Kill Giants, with scripts by Casey and Kelly, respectively, based on their own graphic novels, with more in the works. including a new Ben 10 series for Cartoon Network and a new Mega Man series for Dentsu/Capcom.
Man of Action's Steven T. Seagle and The New Yorker artist Jason Adam Katzenstein debut Camp Midnight, a new graphic novel coming this October from the Man of Action imprint at Image Comics, announced at today's Image Expo. The original 256-page graphic novel will hit stores just in time for Halloween reading.
In Camp Midnight, reluctant camper Skye is accidentally sent to the wrong camp for the summer. Not wanting to please her “step monster,” Skye is dead-set on not fitting in. Luckily, that won’t be a problem, as everyone at Camp Midnight, with the exception of fellow camper and fast-friend Mia, seems to be a full-fledged monster. "Camp Midnight is a brilliant graphic novel debut for cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein, and it's the perfect book for readers who loved Raina Telgemeier's Smile, but wished it had more bowls of gooey eyeballs during the dinner scenes," said Seagle.
Can Skye keep her identity as a human secret until she catches the bus for home? Is all of this a figment of her overactive imagination? And what about Skye’s major crush on a boy who is far, really far, from her usual type? Find out in Camp Midnight."
