Presenting... SMASH Book 2: FEARLESS!

August 28, 2017 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Book Two, Coming Soon, Kids' Comics, Press, Publicity, Publishing, Smash Art

We're thrilled to announce that SMASH Book 2: FEARLESS will be published on May 8, 2018!

Here's your first look at the cover. And the publisher blurb:

Superhero. Super young. Super freaked out! In his second adventure, Smash has his hands full with old enemies and a few new ones — not to mention homework.

Thanks to a strange twist of fate — and a massive explosion — Andrew’s dream of having the strength and abilities of his superhero idol came true, and Smash was born. Great, right? Wrong! As superhero Smash, Andrew finds himself in a losing battle with the one emotion no hero should ever feel: fear. And he definitely didn’t count on becoming the prime target of Magus, the vilest supervillain of all time, who will stop at nothing to steal Smash’s powers. It’s going to take Andrew everything he’s got to conquer his fears, safeguard the city, keep his identity a secret . . . and pass the fifth grade.

Guess Who's Coming Back In Book Two...

July 26, 2016 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Book Two, Making Comics

SMASH Book 2 will have plenty of new villains to hiss at and root against. But it just wouldn't feel right if we didn't invite the biggest, baddest villain of them all to return and make life difficult for our ten-year-old superhero, Smash!
