ZUDA COMICS CROSSOVER EVENT: BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS MEETS SUPERTRON

The Abominable Sheldon Vella Guest Stars on Black Cherry Bombshells for Five Weeks

NEW YORK, NY – DC Entertainment’s digital imprint, ZUDA COMICS is proud to join in the long tradition of comic book crossover events. BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS and SUPERTRON creators reveal their comics exist in a shared universe.

To celebrate the establishment of a Zuda Comics “continuity” Sheldon Vella [SUPERTRON creator] will illustrate five episodes of Black Cherry Bombshells beginning on April 5th, 2010 at www.BlackCherryBombshells.com.

“We’re really excited to finally team up with Shelly. For the longest time we’ve thought of the Bombshells as the prequel to SuperTron,” says Tony Trov [BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS' Co-creator].

“We’ve been dropping hints in both strips for a while. Last year The Bombshells appeared in SuperTron’s dream and recently connections between the King and MOM Bot were discovered.” Johnny Zito [BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS' Co-creator] elaborates.

Black Cherry Bombshells is about ultra-violent girl gangs fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas where every man is a Zombie. The King, a cross-dressing kung-fu warlord, rules the land with mysterious, evil powers. SuperTron is about a distant future where robots struggle to find their humanity in a world devoid of life. MOM Bot, the first sentient robot, enslaves her mechanical offspring in a meaningless existence.

Sheldon’s stint at guest penciler will connect the Armageddon events between both series and catapult the web comics into their final chapters, beginning this year.

The Black Cherry Bombshells are back.

The Girls are meaner. The Zombies are hungrier. And the King is Eternal!
