The Undergrounds season one ends…

Semantink Publishing’s free weekly webcomic, The Undergrounds, chronicling the goings–
on of Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, Wolfman, The Mummy and Van Helsing at their day
job – a café – is coming to an end.  After a year long run that began on February 1, 2010, the
first season is ending with the final strip going live on February 21, 2011.

Benjamin Glibert, Semantink’s Director of Publishing, spoke to The Undergrounds success
in its inaugural year, “I could not be happier with with the way that THE UNDERGROUNDS
season 1 turned out. Right off the bat, I knew that the premise of the strip was a winner, but
seeing it come to fruition has been wonderful. Each writer was able to bring not only his own
voice to the project, but create a story that flowed together week to week. Of course I would
be remiss if I didn’t mention the amazing energy and continuity provided by Daniel’s art. I
am so proud of everyone involved, and I feel lucky to have been a part of the project.”

(And is collected)…

Semantink Publishing is excited to collect these strips in a trade to be released on May 2, 2011.
Containing all 52 released strips, and a few unreleased ones, The Undergrounds: Season One
will be loaded with extras, including extra art from artist Daniel Touchet, marketing pieces
from the first season, an introduction from Semantink Director of Publishing Benjamin
Glibert and more…
Pre-Orders will begin with the posting of the final strip on February 21, 2011, and will
continue until the books official release two months later.  The Undergrounds: Season One
will retail for $19.99 and be available exclusively at Semantink.com.  Pre-orders will save
$2.00 off of the cover price at $17.99.

Season two announced!

Also beginning May 2, 2011, Semantink Publishing is proud to begin the second season of
The Undergrounds!  With a new job, new characters and the fresh blood of a few new writers,
Semantink couldn’t be more excited!

Returning for the second season will be: artist, Daniel Touchet and writers, Marcel Losada,
Michael Fountain, Joe Pezzula and James Ninness. New to the webseries are writers: Ryan
Darrow, Eric Jennings and Shannon Forrey – each bringing with them a ghoul previously
unseen!

“As enamored as I am with our first season of THE UNDERGROUNDS, I am even more jazzed
about season two,” adds Benjamin Glibert, “By adding cast members and changing the
setting, I think that the story telling options have really been opened up. Of course, with
more characters comes more writers, and I am extremely excited about the new talent that
we have brought onboard. Shannon, Eric, and Ryan have all brought a host of new ideas to
the table, and people are really going to enjoy their additions to the cast. Having the bulk of
the creative talent back from season one has been a treat, I’m ecstatic that we were able to
keep so many creative individuals on board. Season two is really going to blow people out of
the water.”
Ryan Darrow was born and raised in Orange County, CA. To be exact, he was born at the
Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy
seven. He was expelled from private school and attempted to smoke his way through college
art and film courses. He dropped out and did very little for very long. Ryan occasionally
writes things with little or no intention of finishing them, reading books in much the same
manner. He would also like you to know that he’s married so hands off, ladies. You may look
though.
Eric Jennings currently resides in Sherman Oaks, CA but was raised in sunny San Diego. He’s
living the dream in Los Angeles working in post-production, the most glamorous segment of
the film industry. Eric attended the Los Angeles Film School where he studied directing and
editing (with some writing thrown in). You may have seen (but probably not) Eric’s work on
screen through his thesis film (that he wrote and directed) called What’s All That Racket?
His true passion in life, however, is writing web comics.
The illegitimate love-child of business and creativity, Shannon Forrey spends most of her
time Art Directing and obsessing over advertising. Inspired by all things horror, nerdom as
well as the weird & strange, her writing and design reflects this quirky personality. She is
constantly reminded to travel more, never give up your passions and “Fail Harder”.
Viewers will find the new season of The Undergrounds at the same address:

Monday morning.

SEMANTINK PUBLISHING is first and foremost a company dedicated to quality, not quantity.
We believe that taking the time to read anything should be a rewarding experience, whether
it’s a comic book, a novel, a magazine or the back of a cereal box. A great story, like good
food, takes time to prepare and that means we won’t churn out twenty properties a week to
fill your shelves and take your money. Instead we’re going to take our time crafting stories
so that you can (we hope) spend your time enjoying them. We want you to stare at panels
of art for a few minutes, or maybe relax as you digest a line of text. It’d be nice if you looked
forward to your time with us, as we look forward to sharing with you. In short, Semantink
wants you to find the meaning of print, each time you read us.
