Advance Comics Preview: Shine A Light On MOONSTONE

In a cluttered comics marketplace, this May 2011 Moonstone will be hoping  to draw some additional attention to its line of licensed characters with a three book cross-over mini-series, as well as a collaboration with another company’s popular character, and a revival of  a long out of print indie comics classic.

Leading off in May will be PHASES OF THE MOON, a three-issue budget-priced ($2.50 each) color comics  flip-book featuring six Moonstone titles.  The story line spans several decades and involves a serial killer who may also be a time-traveler.
