Cool Art!
I came across this piece of art via Hoax Hunters fan Craig McDaniel. Cory was lucky enough to run into Supreme artist (and very cool guy) Cory Hamscher and commissioned him for a Murder sketch. Here's what Cory came up with, seen below. Pretty amazing, if you ask me!

Hoax Hunters Meets the Press, Part Three
Here's something we're mighty proud of: Steve's issue #0 was named one of the best covers of the month by Comics Alliance!
The Weekly Crisis also deemed Steve's cover as one of their covers of the week.
Michael sat down with the good folks Dragon's Lair Comics for their series of creator podcasts.
My Comic Network says Hoax Hunters has "one of the most clever concepts I've seen in a comic in a long time" and it's "one series I wouldn't dare miss out on."
In a word, "brilliant." That's what Comic Book Bin thinks of Hoax Hunters.
Biff Bam Pop! named Hoax Hunters it's Wednesday Run selection!
Also, Biff Bam Pop! conducted an in-depth interview with Steve, JM, and me. I think it's a good one.
iFanboy had some kind words for issue #0, calling the story "excellent."
Gamma Squad calls issue #0 a "must read!"
"A crazy, crazy comic." That's what Comics Vanguard calls issue #0.
IGN says Hoax Hunters is a "pretty damn fun book."

Hoax Hunters In Stores Tomorrow!
Yep, after a year of being a backup, some time in between (putting the book together, finding a new artist, soliciting, promoting, writing the new arc, etc.) issue #0 is hitting the stands tomorrow. Tomorrow! Steve, JM, Axel, and I are all really excited and can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. So far the reviews and feedback have been very, very positive and we hope to see that trend continue.
We've said it before, but we'll say it again: thank you to all the retailers who have ordered and supported the book, the fans who have been talking it up, and the media who have played an integral role it getting the word out. Making comics is all about the love of the medium and the risks you're willing to take--with your creativity, with your time, with your energy, and so much more. The Hoax Hunters creative team is happy where we're at on all counts, and that wouldn't be possible without all the help we've gotten along the way.
Anyway, I'll put the award acceptance speech away for another day. Point being: we have gratitude.
In the time between now and the issue's release, here's some more press Hoax Hunters has received:
Hoax Hunters is Bloody Disgusting's "Pick of the Week." They say the "artwork and script mesh together well, and I have a feeling it will only get better as they continue their Hoax Hunters run," and "#0 is a very strong start to what could be a great series"
Comic Book Resources has a big, nine-page preview of issue #0.
Watch this video: IGN has issue #0 as one of their top picks of the week!
Spandexless says issue #0 is "solid debut...remains a fun read that delivers in a bunch of different ways."
iFanboy has a nifty preview up!
I sat down with the always great Sohaib Awan to talk Hoax Hunters and my obsession with Lost on the Fictional Frontiers radio show.
Starburst "recommends" issue zero, saying "if you’re looking for a comic that does for paranormal research what Hack/Slash did for horror then Hoax Hunters is going to be the series for you. There’s enough potential in the TV show angle to carry a compelling monthly series and enough genuine creativity to breathe life into a lot of existing urban legends and conspiracies."
Another preview, this one from Comic Buzz.
Broken Frontier says "Not only does Hoax Hunters have a fun and interesting premise, but writers Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley have filled their pages with some great characters that beg to be followed."

Hoax Hunters Meets the Press (and Critics), Part Two
Geeks of Doom praised issue #0, saying "it’s a totally different genre and unlike any book that I’ve read in quite a while" and it's "a perfect comic to give to people that don’t read comics."
Our good friends at Multiversity Comics has an exclusive extended preview of issue #0.
Weekly Comic Book Review gave issue #0 an A-, calling the book a "winner" and saying "this looks like the kind of comic that’s going to appeal to lots of comic fans that enjoy conspiracy theories or cryptozoology."
Steve and I sat down to chat with the always entertaining Decapitated Dan for his weekly podcast.
Sci-Fi Pulse also had some heavy praise for issue #0, saying the story is "full of fun, quirky oddness and danger, with a team of interesting characters and mysterious situations unlike anything else you’ll find in comics on the stands today."
And, finally, the Well Watchers podcast had some nice words to say about the book, calling it "like Fringe, in the vein of X-Files."

Wraparound Cover! Cool Art!
Here's the wraparound cover, with some very flattering quotes:
Also, Steve and I got some, I guess you can say art "inspired" by Hoax Hunters. Or, at least, Hoax Hunters makes an appearance in this piece. It's from GregandFake, two artists whose work Steve and I really admire. We both have pieces of theirs (Steve more than I) adorning our homes--they're unusual with a really vintage, 80s nostalgic style that I think is great.
