Some podcasters have been covering the book recently. Geekland Podcast and
Awesomed by Comics. Geekland even made Underground the focus of their episode!

And here’s Blair Butler at G4TV talking the book up!

Comic Hero News has a five page preview of issue #3. It’ll be on the stands next week, November 18th.

Lieber and I are getting up early tomorrow to catch the plane to Salt Lake City. So if you’re in the area, head over to Dr. Volt’s, we’ll be there most of the day, signing, sketching, juggling, you name it.

Interest above ground explodes when a body is pulled out of Stillwater Cave. Deep inside and searching for a way out, Wesley leads Seth into a section she’s never explored for good reason: It’s almost always underwater!

Bridge City Comics is proud to announce a special release party for Underground #1 on Wednesday, September 23 from 6pm – 8pm!

Underground #1 is written by Jeff Parker (Agents of Atlas, Interman), drawn by Steve Lieber (artist and co-creator of Whiteout, now a major motion picture adapted from the graphic novel) and colored by Ron Chan (Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper). All three are Portland locals and will be signing copies of Underground #1 (available for sale at Bridge City Comics) during this event!

In addition, original artwork from Underground #1 will be on display!

This event is open to the public and free to attend. Please come down and support our local comics talent!

About Underground
Park Ranger and avid caver Wesley Fischer is on a one-woman mission to stop Stillwater Cave from being turned into a tourist trap, but public opinion is not on her side. When locals begin blasting in the cave, Wes and a fellow ranger investigate – and a confrontation spirals into a deadly chase deep under the Kentucky mountains! http://www.undergroundthecomic.com

Comic Geek Speak spoke with Jeff Parker and Steve Lieber about our collaboration on Underground. You can download the podcast or listen here.

To say we’re thrilled with the critical response to the first issue of Underground would be understating it quite a bit. We’ve been posting reviews as they came in, (and excerpting some here) but fell way, way behind. Here are some we missed.

Here’s an excellent look into some of the cave systems of the American South East over at NPR right now. One part looks similar to a scene coming up in Underground, so we’ll be studying it closely…
