Since I’m out here all the time telling you how awesome The Black Cherry Bombshells are I thought you might care to hear it from some other perspectives.

“The Black Cherry Bombshells is a really fun comic that’s equal parts Dawn of the Dead and Mad Max. If that’s not enough for you, there’s a ruthless, female Elvis impersonator/warlord calling all the shots. Yeah, you read that right.”
-Life In A Splash Page

“Coming on like a cranked-up dose of Tartakovsky’s early Powerpuff Girls, but co-directed by Russ Meyer and Rikdo Koshi, The BCBs are fast winning over the hearts and minds of the [comics’] faithful.”
-The Weaponizer

“Black Cherry Bombshells is dynamic and action packed! Fans of manga and comics should love the edgy, retro style art.”
-James L. Barry; illustrator: Warriors Manga Vol. 1-3 Tokyo Pop

“…Just the right side of grim with a dash of playful thrown in for good measure!”
-Biff Bam Pow Comics!

“With their twice-weekly installments of the Black Cherry Bombshells, creators Tony Trov and Johnny Zito invite us to visit their gritty vision of the future. It’s a delightfully jarring ride – blood-thirsty girl gangs duke it out on a dystopian planet devastated by a global population of male zombies. I’ll take two tickets, please.”
-David Gambacorta; The Philadelphia Daily News

“The creators have admittedly and successfully super-imposed female characters over traditional male action movie roles.”
-Broken Frontier

“The Black Cherry Bombshells are definitely the cool shit. Like Land of the Dead made babies with Thunderdome. Pretty awesome.”
-Christine Larsen; illustrator; Teddy Scares

“Black Cherry Bombshells warps together Sin City and Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill with Elvis impersonators.”
-Doctor Barry Vacker; Author, Utopian Societies in Mass Media; Temple University

That’s a pretty diverse group of opinions there. You got some journalists, some artists and a Doctor of Post-Apocalyptic Fiction at the end there. Now that’s a guy who knows his shit. He’s not some big celebrity we grabbed off the street to endorse a product. Dr. Vacker is cracking eggs of knowledge on you so, ya know, recognize and click HERE to read the Black Cherry Bombshells.

Now in Twice-A-Week-O-Vision.
