Hoax Hunters Trade

On December 5, we’re releasing our first trade, and Steve and I have gone all out to make this edition truly special. While we appreciate the economic value of having a trade simply be a stripped down collection of issues, we wanted to go bigger and make this book something truly unique and special. So we gathered some never-before-scene art, rallied some talented guests, and have compiled a really nice edition—Hoax Hunters Book One: Murder, Death, and the Devil.

Here’s a look at everything included in the first trade:

 -Issues 0-5 of the critically acclaimed series

-An introduction written by Ben Hansen, host of SyFy’s Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files

-Mothman, an new short comic from artist Jeremy Tinder (this hasn’t, and won’t, appear in any Hoax Hunters single issue)

-Painted issue dividers by Steve, who also painted the trade cover, making for one cohesive visual motif; we also included all six stunning issue covers (including cover art from Tim Seeley, Joe Eisma, and more)

-The original Murder design, as well as notes on the character’s creation

-Original advertising art

And while you're here, why not check out a page from Tinder's Mothman story!

Hoax Hunters #3: Here's What People Are Saying

IGN says Hoax Hunters is "worth the cover price each and every month."

"A grade A title," says Unleash the Fanboy.

Bloody Disgusting gave this issue a 3.5 of 5, saying it's "a solid read for anyone who wants jump into a new book that’s only going to get better."

Team Hellions declares issue #3 "another stellar issue of Hoax Hunters, the series that I’ve come to rely on."

Issue #3 is Horror Talk's Book of the Week: "Murder, a former astronaut who now has his consciousness fractured into a bunch of crows living in a spacesuit, is probably the most awesome thing in comics right now."
 
"Different and weirder than any other comic," says First Comics News.

Talking Comics says "this is a buy for me and I can’t wait to see where this series is headed."

"The clever story continues in this issue and, at the end of every issue, there is a genuine cliffhanger that just leaves you wanting more," says Blue Raven Comics, in their 9 of 10 review.

Fanboy Comics calls Hoax Hunters "Scooby-Doo with parts of Fringe and Torchwood."

The Death of Comics calls Hoax Hunters "****ing solid. Doing big things...taking big chances."

Horror's Not Dead says: "In this third issue, with the background established, the story goes all out, exploding from the pages in a mix of blood, terror, mystery, and humor." 

"Hoax Hunters 3 pushes the story forward nicely, adding a few twists, but always propelling things in the right direction," says Futile Position.
