BlueWater to Produce Graphic Novels with Atomic Pop Art

BELLINGHAM, WASH. (Jan 30, 2007) -- BlueWater Productions, the company behind such smash hits as the 10th MUSE, VSS, and THE LEGEND OF ISIS, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Atomic Pop Art that will have them publishing a series of graphic novels throughout 2007.

"This new arrangement will allow Atomic Pop Art to bring back some of our best work from our past with Image Comics and Alias Comics, while we devote more of our own time and efforts to developing new stories, to have them ready for readers on time each month," said BlueWater Productions president and managing editor, Darren G. Davis. "We're very pleased that Atomic Pop Art will be joining us in this project."

Some of the collected issues were previously unreleased, after the books' previous publisher decided in January to cease printing. Among the never-before-seen books are VENUS #1, 10TH MUSE #14-17, and THE LEGEND OF ISIS #11-12. Because of the publisher's decision not to print these issues -- some of which play a vital role in wrapping up continuing storylines - they are now available only in these graphic novels.

"It's unfortunate that the publisher was not able to continue producing these books, but they are still wonderful issues and very important to the characters and the BlueWater universe," Davis said. "Because of that, we have decided to include them in these upcoming graphic novels for fans to still enjoy."
