Video Loves the Radio Star

Do you daydream about Red Panda: The Animated Series? Us too! Here's a bonus adventure that may scratch that itch for you a little.

Please join us on Decoder Ring Theatre's YouTube Channel for Mask of the Red Panda: The Full-Cast Video Comic

This video project combines the voice cast you know and love with Dean Kotz's awesome artwork from the debut storyline of Red Panda comics (available digitally from Monkeybrain Comics and coming soon in color Trade Paperback from IDW Publishing), and it's available for all to enjoy absolutely free!

So head on over to our YouTube Channel and see the Terrific Twosome of Toronto in action today - enjoy and share!

EDIT: Sorry, I should mention, I posted the 3 episodes in chronological order, so of course they display "most recent first" on YouTube... apparently people have been watching episode 3 first because it's at the top. That's my fault! Sorry.... bottom to top is the proper order. EDIT OF THE EDIT: A helpful listener suggested I make a playlist, and that would put them in the correct order, and that seems to have worked! But just in case, the first one is the one with the number "1" in the title. I'm cryptic that way.

Ladies and Gentlemen - The Dead Tree Version

Yes, folks, I'm delighted to announce that the debut story arc of Red Panda comics, which debuted digitally to great acclaim from Monkeybrain Comics, is getting a print edition from IDW Publishing! (EDIT: The release date to Comic Shops is Feb 15th, so pre-ordering through your local comic shop may get this baby in your hands even sooner!)

HOWEVER, it seems to be turning up all over the place for pre-order through "regular" bookstores, and there are some awesome pre-order deals that I thought I would pass along.

 Oh, and did I mention that Dean is working his fingers to the bone rendering this story in an awesome Golden-Age inspired Color scheme that is absolutely blowing my mind? Because he is. Sneak peeks on that as we get closer to the day!

In the meantime, here are a whole bunch of links to Pre-Order the book and lock down an awesome price:

There have been a lot of folks already asking questions like "Hey! When can I get a dead tree version?", and we love ya for it!

Besides, at these prices, you'd be crazy not to pick it up!

We'll need your help promoting this one, Panda Patrol... stay tuned for more to come!
