Here are some sound bites from his review:
'this is strictly an adults-only title, but a fun one at that.'
'new and hopefully ongoing series...'
'Lai unleashes a dynamo of a heroine in Stiletto.'
'With Stiletto, he (Lai) fully unleashes himself, debuting full line art that shows true photoshop savvy while coming across with a playful, digital look.'
'Here's hoping the party never stops.'
'...I liked this one.'

Hello everyone,
UCG wanted to announce that in all upcoming Metapatriot publications, we will be using the NEW Logo designed for us by Rick Lozano!
We were in NO WAY looking for a new LOGO, but when Rick mentioned that he created one that he felt was EYE POPPING, we had to check it out!  We always knew Rick did LOGO designs, but we were extremely happy with the logo's we had.  (We do get many new logo submissions, but RARELY accept them!)
Much to our delight, Rick created a logo that truly hit the character SPOT ON!

Rick, Thank you!!!  You are such an amazing creator and we are genuinely HONORED to have you in our family!
Below is his new design!  Look for this on ALL new publications sold on-line as well as any books with formal print runs!!

If ANY of you are looking for a MASTER LOGO designer, please reach out to RICK ASAP!  You can find him on our favorites list!  Trust us...he'll nail it for you!

Hello EVERYONE!
Ultimate Comics Group is delighted to announce that we have inventory of EACH of the FOUR issues that have gone to FORMAL FIRST PRINT runs of 3000 issues each!
They are: Stormblazer 0, Stormblazer 1, Metapatriot 1, The Enchanting Essence 0.
While they will be available in stores across the country, as a sign of appreciation to EVERYONE out there who keep in touch with us, we wanted to offer 'SAMPLE PAKS' containing one of each of the 4 mentioned issues for $15 to any customer in the United States.
WE'LL even pay the postage...so for $15 (which is $1 less than what you can get it from retailers if you buy the entire SET) you won't even need to leave the comfort of your own home!!! (SORRY, We currently only ship within the Continental United States but NOT APO/FPO...Again...SORRY!)

If you would like to purchase one of these FIRST PRINTING sample packs, please message us ASAP.   Let us know if you wish to pay via Money order, Cashiers Check, Personal check or paypal.
Paypal is definitely preferred simply because payment is immediate and once we receive the payment, we will send out your books within a week.  As you all know Personal checks need to clear and that can cause a delay up to an additional 7-10 business days.
Once we receive your email with the method of payment, we will send you the mailing address OR paypal account email.
Also feel free to order more than one sample pack...we'll ship them all at once!!!

The covers of the 4 comic books included in this SAMPLE PAK are :


As a friendly reminder, since these books are all available in stores, we are no longer selling these online through 'Indyplanet.com'.

Here are some sound bites from Richards Review, but to see the ENTIRE piece, please visit the actual link below and leave a comment for Richard at:
http://comicnews.info/?p=8171

 “… a violent, sexy globetrotting tale…”

“Lai’s narrative style is an easy read, pages flying by as fast as the gun shells…”

“ There is a lot of violence, and unlike many action stories today, every act here is warranted. Equally, there is quite a bit of adult fun as well.  Good versus Evil is too epic a struggle to be limited to the battlefield alone; take it to the bedroom and you see an even bigger picture of what Good and Evil really are. “

“ …Lai does not pull punches, not in his descriptions of the casually extreme gore of the fighting, or with regards to the insatiability of human desire and intrigue.”

“…everything that happens in Soul-Savers is arguably confined to the limitations of reality, minding a manner of proscribing to the potentialities of percentages and the like.”

“John B. Lai’s Soul-Savers is a fast-paced and action-filled novel, with colorful characters dealing in extremities of plot points…”

“…gets the blood pumping.”
