Spend the Holidays with the First Complete Chapter of ACTION, OHIO

[neil kleid]

As comic book fans around the world usher in the holidays and a brand new year, the creators of Shadowline’s offbeat webcomic, Action, Ohio, ask you to spend the holiday season in a little Ohio town that’s hiding a very big secret.



Action, Ohio, - written by Xeric Award winning author Neil Kleid and illustrated by Paul Salvi - asks what might happen if the comic book industry as we know it today was created to hide the existence of real-life superheroes living in the heart of Ohio?

Running one page per week at Image Comics/Shadowline’s festive, red webcomics hub, the story explores detective Andrea Bruce’s private dilemma and the sacrifices she must make in order to save an isolated community struggling to contain its secrets. Choosing between solving a murder and opening a Pandora's Box of evil or putting aside her vendetta to help a group of heroes contain their existence and freedoms, Andrea unfolds the mysteries of a sleepy little town that inspired the Silver Age of comic books and races to find a killer before he forces its inhabitants to reveal themselves and destroy the world.

Bundle up, gather the children and settle in to read the first complete chapter of Action, Ohio,, now available online. Chapter Two begins this week and a new four-color, thrilling page goes live every Monday. Send the link to your friends and family; it’s the perfect holiday treat because not only don’t you have to leave your home to get it, not only don’t you have to wrap it, but it’s one hundred percent FREE, American.
