Magic Bullet #7 Hitting the Streets

Magic Bullet #7 (Washington, D.C.'s free comics newspaper, published by D.C. Conspiracy) has been printed. Big thanks to Joe Carabeo who picked up all 5,000 direct from the printer in Maryland last week.

The newspapers are hitting the streets and several contributors have picked up their bundles. I know you can grab your free copy for sure at the following locations: Laughing Ogre Comics (Fairfax, VA), Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant (Vienna, VA), Bad Decisions (Baltimore, MD), Gorilla King Comics (Baltimore, MD), Artisphere (Arlington, VA), and many more to come... be on the lookout!

We plan to have the newspaper at Baltimore Comic-Con in two weeks and Small Press Expo in three weeks.

Also be sure to check out the Magic Bullet exhibit at Artisphere, running until November 3, 2013: http://www.artisphere.com/calendar/event-details/Visual-Arts/COMICS-MAKING-STUDIO-WITH-MEMBERS-OF-THE-D-C-CONSPIRACY.aspx
