Roc Bottom Talks Jet Boy:Zero!

With Free Comics Day rapidly approaching, Roc Bottom prepares for the release of
Jet Boy: Zero. According to the Jet Boy creator, this book not only leads directly
into Jet Boy: All Jets Go! issue one, the title also holds a “hidden meaning!”

“There’s a reason why Jet Boy: Zero holds that particular title. It is, of course,
ISSUE ZERO, but the title holds something much bigger than just it’s issue number.”

Roc made a decision to not publish the issue in traditional comic format. Instead
he chose to go the digital download route.

“The digital download method is one I used with a few of my other comics. Lion’s
Den Revolution and Shadowclub Karma to be exact. Both were successful in their own
way. Since Jet Boy: Zero is a free comic, going the digital download route makes it
a lot easier for the masses to get their hands on it. So for those who can’t make it
to their local comic shop, they can just go to www.rocbottomstudios.com and download
it on free comics day.”

When asked what we can expect from Jet Boy: Zero, Roc offered up some suprises…

“You can expect a few explosions, a few loose ends from the jimmy jordan blog to be tied
up, the “REAL” reason behind the ZERO, and…possibly less Jet Boy…!”
Less Jet Boy in Jet Boy: Zero? But the book holds HIS name…

“There’s a HUGE reason for that. One that I can’t give up right now. But once you see
why, it will all make sense.”

Roc will be attending Heroes and Drag
ons comic shop in Columbia, SC for Free Comics Day wherehe will debut Jet Boy: Zero. He will be giving away a few copies of the digital download on
disk. For those who can’t make the event, you can download your copy of JET BOY: ZERO at
www.rocbottomstudios.com on May 5th.
