"Woah" is right! A special BrainFood congratulations to Eben and Dan of Eben 07 for hitting comic #150! That's some dedication, and we are oh-so-proud to be here for this landmark! Congrats, boys, and here's to many more! Check out the whole comic at www.eben07.com!

Greetings loyal BrainFeeders! (yeah, still working on the nicknames)
Welcome to the updated BrainFood Comics Web-Site!
I've made some adjustments, added some goodies (head down to the Titles, Media and Store pages and see for yourself!)

Speaking of the Store page, do not be alarmed!
You will notice that our good friends at 01 Comics (aka Ka-Blam Printing, Indy Planet Online Comic Store, and Comics Monkey Distributors) are having some technical difficulty. Fear not, however, I know we are in good hands and they are working around the clock to battle said difficulties. That being said, it's sadly best not to visit those sites until we say the coast is clear.

But enough of this sorrow! On to more frivolity! We have some excellent shows coming up on both the East and West Coasts. In sunny California we have Eben Burgoon and D. Bethel of "Eben 07" making an appearance for Second Saturday at Big Brother Comics, August 14th at 6pm. Check out the website for more info!

And then across the country we have the debut BrainFood Table at Baltimore Comic Con! August 28th-29th at the Baltimore Convention Center. Featured appearances are yours truly, plus Jeff Cohen and Ben Cohen of Dinoman, and Chris Caravella of the upcoming "Buddy Cops" and "On The Trail With A Curly Tail"!

Nice!

Keep coming back for more exciting news!!

And if THAT's not exciting enough, Dinoman's eagerly awaited Issue 2 should
be up and about any day now! It promises to keep getting better and better, folks!
No lie! This title will go down in history as putting other superhero books to SHAME!
SHAME!!!

Oh...I know what you're thinking. It can't POSSIBLY be any more great news!
Dear reader, I ask you, would good ol' Lauren let you down? To this I say "Nay!"
Last but not least we have an addition to the "Ham & Eggs Side Dishes" family:
"Buddy Cops" following the story of Detective Jack Valentine Jones
before the story arc of Ham & Eggs Volume 1 promises to be a very welcome new branch in the series! Conceptualized and written by our newest BrainFood family member,
Chris Caravella, (everybody say hi to Chris! let's make him feel welcome!)
and illustrated by yours truly. Check out these tasty morsels ;)

Sadly this is all I can show you for now, but it's gonna be good!

That is all for now, dear readers! Can't give away everything just yet!

Stay well, friends

If you're in the New York area come on over this Thursday, the 17th for an absolutely fantastic event! Stephen, Myself, Bryan JL Glass, Evan Dorkin, Ken Haeser, Ben McCool, John Broglia, Alex Robinson, Mike Lilly and more! It's sure to be a blast and we'll be selling and signing some great Ham & Eggs swag!

Good day, dear readers!
I hope that all those who celebrate the gorge-fest known
as Thanksgiving had a wonderful time with family, friends and feast!

We here at Brainfood have much to be thankful for, this year!
What began simply as a means to publish our first series, Ham & Eggs
has quickly grown to be so much more!
We are thankful for the amazing talent our friends, Eben Burgoon,
Daniel Bethel, Ben Cohen & Jeff Cohen have deemed to share with us!
We are even more thankful for their friendship and shared enthusiasm for
comics and the fellow creators who make them!
So I raise a toast (whichever beverage you choose is fine)
to these fine individuals, and to comic creators, publishers, sellers and (most
importantly) readers everywhere! Without you, it would not be possible.

And it is with equal cheer that I announce Issue 3 of Inspector Ham & Eggs
is now available for purchase!
Hoorah, we say, Hoorah!

GREAT news, Dino-fans!
We're uber-excited to announce that the first issue of
Ben & Jeff Cohen's DINOMAN is now available
for purchase at IndyPlanet.com!
Do yourself a favor and pick this hilarious book up today!
You WON'T regret it!!

We here at Brain Food Comics promised exciting news, and exciting news we shall give you!
I am very pleased to announce that Brain Food Publishing is now the happy home of not one,
but two great titles!

One you may be aware of already, as it is currently one of the greatest web comics to grace your screen! That's right, Eben 07: the official comic of the Intelligence Cleaner Agency, is now part of Brain Food! Num Num!!

Eben Burgoon, Dan Bethel, Stephen Lindsay and I are very excited about this! With two collections currently being sold (the second available for pre-order through their site, eben07.com) and plenty of material ready to be printed, Eben 07 promises to pack just as powerful a punch in print as it does on the interwebs! Check back for more news on this in the very near future, but in the meantime you can enjoy a preview of the first two books in the Titles Section of this site! (And also on their website)

As if things couldn't get any better, we're also the proud soon-to-be publisher of what promises to be a great new series! Dinoman, by Ben & Jeff Cohen features sharp wit and illustrations that will certainly leave you wanting more! This is not your average superhero comic, folks! Hell it's not your average dinosaur comic! (not to be confused with Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics)

You can see exclusive previews of this exciting new work, also in the Titles Section!
Whoo doggy! All this great news has me spinning!!!!

Keep checking back for more news, and a very hearty welcome hug to Eben, Dan, Ben & Jeff!
Welcome to the family, guys!!

-Lauren Monardo
