NYCC 2012 Preview: ‘Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers’ Debuts at NYCC

Posted on October 10, 2012

Back at San Diego Comic Con 2011, we gave a preview on Friend of the Flickcast Kirk Manley’s debut issue of Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers. Since, Kirk and Z-Girl writer Jeff Marsick have been to dozens of conventions around the country promoting their series. Tomorrow, the team will be debuting the third issue of Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers.

For anyone who has read the previous issues of Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers, this may be the biggest story issue yet. A flashback that reveals the past of one of the tiger spirits. Z-Girl’s most trying moment so far. And a red headed woman waking up and talking to a voice in her head.

For those who haven’t read Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers yet, it is an independent title from Studio Z focusing on a military group composed of a high level functioning zombie and four teammates each inhabited by mythical spirits known as the 4 Tigers. The story is a blend of sci-fi, horror and military drama with some fantastic art by Manly.

Check out Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers #3 at Booth #2161 in the Small Press area of the New York Comic Con from Thursday to Sunday at the Jacob Javitts Center. Stay tuned to the Flickcast for news, interviews and pics from the show floor.

The Definition of “Geek Chic.” Comic books, sci-fi movies, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Lord of the Rings and more all rolled up in a Diesel wearing, club going socialite package. Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore. Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek. The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
