I would appreciate it.

This is the solicitation text:
"The all-new continuing Tick series continues with a second smash issue! A new super-villainess is giving The Tick a 'run for his money' across the length and breadth of The City after stealing a super-powered 'mystery object.'
Plus, Chairface attempts to escape from the 'prison with prison' in which he has been incarcerated, due to his many previous escape attempts!"
Yeah, I'm not sure what some of that means either.
Story by me, art by Les McClaine.
Available for pre-order here among other places.
Issue one is at the printer now and should be out by the end of the month. Can't wait! Woo! |

Tomorrow, October 14, after much time and ballyhoo, Hector Plasm: Totentanz finally hits the shelves.
It looks like this:
It features:
Eight new stories never before in print (Hector v. The Ghoul, The Infelicitous Wight, The Carving, Pan de Muerto, Hop-Tu-Naa, Hector contre la Danse Macabre, Candy for All, Justice for None)
Contributions from wonderful creators other than Nate and myself, including:
Ed Tadem http://www.edtadem.com
Jess Fink http://www.jessfink.com
John Campbell http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com
Dean Trippe http://www.deantrippe.com
Scott Wegener http://www.atomic-robo.com
Edgar Allen Beet and Mlle. Jennie Octobre (no website available)
It is 48 pages, full color, all content, no ads. Six dollars American.
If you walk into a comic shop tomorrow and it is not on a shelf (and you did not ask for it like I told you to!), it is available online in various places, including these:
http://www.grahamcrackers.com/products/hector_plasm_totentatz_one_shot.htm
http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=15766001
There should soon be a lot of extra info and content available on the newly updated http://www.fetorpse.org, including a sweet short film Nate and I animated into the wee hours of the night!
The book is a production of Hector Team Quadr-Ector (myself, Nate Bellegarde, Jacob Baake, and Steven Finch). We spent a lot of time on the book (some might say too long), and we're not making any money on it; all we get paid in is your love. So if you like it (or if you don't, we're not picky), please let us know!
And let others know! Blog about it; tweet about it; post in bought-thought threads about it! You don't have to get fancy, just mention it!
We love you all, and have a happy Hectorween. |

Chris of The Invincible Super-Blog and Eugene of the People You Don't Know podcast have a podcast they do together. It is called WAR ROCKET AJAX. They interview different sorts of people about different sorts of comics.
This week, foolishly, impudently, they decided to interview me.
You can download or stream the new episode here:
http://warrocketajax.com/2009/10/05/episode-7-peace-rocket-ajax-w-benito-cereno/
If you want to hear me drone on and on about thing such as the philosophy behind Hector Plasm, the secret origins of Tales from the Bully Pulpit, the Halloween comic I drew as a kid, my forthcoming Tick series, and that whole stupid thing about M**** F*******, you should listen.
If you are here visiting for the first time because you heard me talk about this place on the podcast (unlikely), welcome. Please say hello. |

So I haven't said much on the subject, but Halloween season is in full swing, my compadres, having officially kicked off the Tuesday following Labor Day. I myself, however, have scarcely been able to celebrate. Don't get me wrong; I have bought the hell out of some Halloween Jones Sodas (the best part is, this year Target had Lemon Drop Dead, which they did not last year; it is the best of the flavors, surpassing even the delicious Buried Pomegranate), but I have only seen one Halloween film so far this year: REC. It was well made, and there were some genuinely creepy bits, but overall, it was still just more rage zombie BS.
Halloween movies are a difficult genre to navigate, friends; there is so much crap in the butter, is what I am saying.
And so I'm coming to you: tell me some Halloween-styled movies that you might think I have not seen and that I would enjoy.
But mark me well: the best movies are always going to be ghost movies. That is a fact. Vampire movies are a distant second, and everything else is the highway to the danger zone, Big League Chew.
So tread carefully if you think you're going to recommend me a zombie or slasher movie. It had better be two shits and a handbag good if you're going to recommend it to me.
That said, tell me what you think I would like! |

As another month approaches its close, retailers are putting together another order for Diamond Distributors, this time for comics shipping November, 2009. Which means if you haven't yet, now is the time to place your pre-order for The Tick: All New #1 by me and Les McClaine. Again, as I've said before, this is a book you will have to ASK FOR if you want it. Norman Osborne isn't in this book, nor is Hal Jordan; there's no guarantee your local retailer will have a copy. Please let them know you want one.
It looks like this:
It might be described this way:
(W) Benito Cereno (A) Les McClaine The Tick returns in an all-new, continuing comic series! The Tick enjoys the Christmas season with Arthur and his super-hero pals. But among the present is one from a super-villain! Look for this all-new series into 2010 with all-new tales of Tick-ish adventures!
Its order code looks like this:
SEP09 0937
If you are scared to talk to your retailer, or you don't like paying full cover price for anything, a place you might order the book is here:
http://www.badgercomics.com/subproduct_info.php/New_England_Comics/TICK_NEW_SERIES__1/ukv/1/products_id/SEP090937
If you order the book, your face will look like this:
If you don't order the book, my face will look like this:

You might ask yourself, "Hey, friend, what is coming next from my pals Benito and Nate?"
I can't answer that yet, but might this be a clue?
(Yes. It is.)
(In the meantime, check out Nate's massive dump.) |

| My new project, coming in November |
|
|
| 08:44pm 25/08/2009 |

On Twitter and elsewhere, you might have seen me teasing a new project. Now I'm going to tell you about it.
In tomorrow's new Previews, on page 280, you'll see item number SEP09 0937, my brand new project.
This is what the cover looks like:
The Tick: All-New #1 by Benito Cereno and Les McClaine.
As you can see, it's a Christmas issue. And, man, it is Christmasy as hell, dudes.
First issue of a new ongoing series, full color.
It's going to be a hootenanny.
Getting this series is a big thing for me, and I'd like sales to be mind-melting awesome, so do me a favor, okay: tell everyone you know. |

| Hector Plasm interview |
|
|
| 05:22pm 24/08/2009 |
| |
This is the last week to place orders with your comics retailer for Hector Plasm: Totentanz before they put in their Previews order for October (in fact, orders may be due tomorrow), so write, call or visit your LCS to let them know you want a copy!
HOWEVER
This is not to say that they can't still order it after this; they should be able to do an order increase any time up until the week before the book ships and still get the book the day it comes out. If you haven't asked for one by now, you still have time, but don't wait!
And DEFINITELY don't assume you'll be able to just waltz in and pick one up off the shelf! In fact, you should assume the opposite. ASK your local retailer for a copy if you want one! It takes about thirty seconds to place an order on Diamond's website. Less. Make sure you ask for one if you want one! Your retailer can look up and order the book by name, but it is also available with the Diamond order code AUG090299.
In the meantime, here is an interview with me on ComicMonsters.com. |

Perhaps you've heard of it.
(Except pretend the title isn't spelled wrong in that image.)
HECTOR PLASM: TOTENTANZ (ONE-SHOT) (RES)
story BENITO CERENO
art & cover NATE BELLEGARDE
OCTOBER 14
48 PAGES / FC
$5.99
The creative team behind INVINCIBLE PRESENTS: ATOM EVE return to their original creation, a modern-day member of an ancient cult whose duties dictate that he roam the earth to protect the living from the dead...and occasionally to protect the dead from the living. It's the follow-up to the book WIZARD MAGAZINE called one of the top 200 comics released during its publication history.
---------------
Actually finished, actually coming out. It's already turned in and everything, so the only thing stopping it from coming out on time would be a horrific boat fire. |
