July 9, 2012 — Newburyport, MA — Independent publisher ComixTribe launched via Kickstarter a pre-order campaign for OXYMORON Volume 1, a hardcover graphic novel collection of stories about a contradiction-obsessed supervillain.
The Oxymoron, a popular character from ComixTribe’s maxi-series THE RED TEN by Tyler James and Cesar Feliciano, is being resurrected in this new spin-off anthology, featuring ten stories by hot up-and-coming writers and artists, including Jason Ciaramella (The Cape, Godzilla), Mark Poulton (Savage Hawkman, Avengelyne), Joe Mulvey (SCAM) and more, and is edited by ComixTribe publisher Tyler James.

“I couldn’t be more excited about this book,” said James. “Eight months ago, I reached out to some of the hardest working writers and artists I know in comics to create some killer stories. They delivered, and I’m taking this project to Kickstarter to see to it that the final package is as hideously beautiful as the content.”

The OXYMORON Volume 1 Hardcover will debut at the 2012 New York Comic Con in October, with backers starting to receive the books shortly after. The standard cost for a signed hardcover is $25.00 and includes shipping, but there are a variety of pledge levels available. ComixTribe will also be offering a number of direct-to-retailer incentives, including 55% off the cover price to retailers and brick & mortar exclusivity through 2012.
