We’ve had a lot of the fun at this site with the ComixTribe fellas, from our initial interview, to our “Scam” contest, to Joe joining our site to share with us a new column. So why stop this train rolling when things are just getting good?

Coming soon from ComixTribe we have a new book called “The Red Ten,” written by Tyler James and illustrated by Cesar Feliciano. Described as an Agatha Christie murder mystery in a superhero world, this ten issue series has actually seen publication before via micro-distribution at conventions — but now comes to you in fully re-mastered glory with all the blood and super-action you crave from your funny books.

And now, just to whet your appetite, we’ve got an eleven page preview for you. Read on:

Are you ready to put your pre-orders in?

For the ComixTribe press release, including information on how to pre-order the book, please see below.

ComixTribe Press Release

ComixTribe has released an 11-page preview of the Diamond debut issue of THE RED TEN #1. Originally debuting at last year’s New York Comic Con, THE RED TEN was a micro-distribution success story, selling thousands of copies in more than 50 retail locations, before ComixTribe signed a distribution deal with Diamond Comics Distributors, Inc. to bring it to shops worldwide. The Diamond release has been completely remastered for the direct market. THE RED TEN #1 (OCT120972) is a Diamond Staff Pick in this month’s Previews catalog, and will be available in shops this December.

THE RED TEN is a ten-issue superhero re-telling of Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit “And Then There Were None,” written by Tyler James and drawn by Cesar Feliciano, with covers by CP Wilson, III (Stuff of Legend.) THE RED TEN will release bi-monthly, with issue #2 scheduled for February 2013, and the long awaited #3 set for April 2013. ComixTribe is also planning to release THE RED TEN #0 in May as the publisher’s first Free Comic Book Day offering.
