Missoula, MT (10/10/2024) – Vault is thrilled to announce that superstar actor, comedian, & writer Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats, Barfly), legendary creator Tim Seeley (Local Man, Hack/Slash), and webcomics sensation Garth Graham (A Polycule of Mars, Astroknots) have partnered for a brand new Money Shot series, Money Shot: Big Bang. Oswalt and Seeley are co-writing the series, with Graham illustrating, Kurt Michael Russell coloring, Crank! lettering, and Tim Daniel designing.
Money Shot: Big Bang will debut with a can’t-miss zero issue in January 2025 that will bring readers up to speed on everything that’s happened in Money Shot so far, while also setting the stage for the hilarious new story from Oswalt, Seeley, & Graham. Then in February 2025, Money Shot Big Bang #1 will hit store shelves, kicking off the brand new storyline just in time for Valentine’s Day!
“Money Shot has always been about finding the right partners,” said Seeley. “Lots of partners. Friends. Strangers. Aliens with a dozen or so sex organs. And even beloved comedians and acclaimed webcomics artists! So, with BIG BANG, I’m positively throbbing to work with my friend and collaborator Patton Oswalt, and burning hot new (to print comics) talent, Garth Graham!”
“By being insanely over-the-top and on the outer rim of offensiveness, Money Shot actually lands squarely in the center of our current, deviant reality,” added Oswalt.
“I came across Money Shot when Kurt Michael Russell was coloring the first couple of volumes and I remember being both delighted and surprised that ‘mainstream comics were getting so cheeky, said Graham. “Everything from a publisher is mainstream when you’re in webcomics, you see. So when Vault reached out, saying that Tim Seeley named me when asked what artist he wanted to work with most, I knew that the only appropriate answer was ‘oh god, yes!’ Money Shot is exactly the kind of funny, sexy comic that lives right in my wheelhouse. A perfect fit.”
Money Shot: Big Bang issue #0 will hit store shelves on January 15th, 2025, to be followed up by Money Shot: Bing Bang issue #1 on February 12th, 2025. The full synopsis for issue #1 can be read below:
You ever see that second Ewoks movie? The one where they suddenly kill off all the characters from the first movie?! And you were like “Mommy! Whyyy oh god whyyy?” Well, this new MONEY SHOT arc is like that with a lot less body hair , somewhat more sex, and the same amount of people yelling for mommy. The XXX-plorers return just in time to witness the rise of an anti-sex death cult! Now it’s a race against time and the relay team includes alien strippers!
