So, last week we blogged about WOWIO, a new digital comic book company (which you can check out here). Today…some cool news regarding them. Thanks in part to a company called Logic, you can now get 5 free comic downloads via WOWIO. Like, you literally have to do nothing. Sign up (for FREE), and pick any five comics you want. Saint James has three comics up on WOWIO currently (which you can see here–two Ex Occultus comics and the first issue of Indego Blue), so you can get those three and still have two left. Yay!
Anyway, click here and look for the icon on the bottom left of the screen…then get started! This is only for a limited time, so get on it while the getting’s good.

What a fantastic Free Comic Book Day! In years past there may have been a few good comics worth picking up, nothing absolutely must-have, but this year…this year there was an awesome selection of swag. And the best of the bunch? The Sixth Gun #1.
Written by Bunn (The Damned) and illustrated by Hurtt (The Damned, Queen & Country), the story centers on a mysterious gun with supernatural properties, a wary anti-hero and a rival gang of undead trying to acquire it, and some moody, occult-laden landscapes. The official synopsis per the Oni Press site:
During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. The Sixth Gun—the most dangerous of the weapons— has vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Villains thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing anyone in their path. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunslinger with a shadowy past, stands in their way.
Now, if you didn’t make it out for FCBD and missed this one…fear not! Oni press will be delivering a second printing of issue #1 to stores sometime this month for a measly $3.99. They also have a nice little preview of the comic over at their site (right here). Oh, and check out the interview we did with Cullen Bunn earlier this year right here.
WOWIO is a new eBook/digital comic company that’s on the cutting edge as far as how it offers products and where it offers them (online, smart phones, etc.), and we’re very pleased to announce that you can now purchase Ex Occultus “Seal of Solomon” and Indego Blue #1 through them…for only $1!
Check out the Saint James “store” over at the WOWIO site right here, and let the shopping begin!
If you haven’t already explored the world of Ex Occultus, now’s your chance with the first volume of the Wakefield’s Journal series of FREE monthly mini-adventures. The stories are drawn by a variety of talented artists and serve to fill the gap between full issues of the series.
You can check out all 7 stories (for FREE) right here, or click the header on our homepage (pictured below).
So, you may or may not have heard all the recent hoopla regarding Facebook and being able to integrate websites into your profile and vise versa. Well…consider the bandwagon jumped!
