Los Angeles, CA, June 23, 2008 -Award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo ("THREAT") will be the featured guest at the Halo-8 Entertainment booth when the indie film studio debuts its new full-color comic book and graphic novel publishing division at Wizard World Chicago on June 26, 2008, it was announced today.

Pizzolo created and wrote both flagship titles for the new publisher starting with the post-nuke hero's journey "GODKILLER," illustrated by Anna Muckcracker, and the manga-style college sex comedy "HOW I LOST MY VIRGINITY –BY ALEXANDRA JONES," penciled and colored by Andrea Blanco with inks by Ale Alvarez.

"Matt's stories offer the kind of next-level storytelling we would be excited to release in any format," said Todd Miller, Director of Operations for Halo-8. "Above all, Halo-8's mission is to support bold voices and unique visions... today's freshest and most exciting creators want the freedom of choosing the most appropriate medium for each project, so expanding into comic books and graphic novels is simply the next step in our commitment to daring storytelling."

"Halo-8's reputation for discovering the most bleeding-edge new creators is confirmed once again by the work that newcomers Anna, Andrea, and Ale have done on these books," said Pizzolo. "All the artists have created such lush, dynamic worlds that anything I could do with a camera would literally pale in comparison."
