Tony Trov & Johnny Zito: Digital Gurus

2010-03-29T17:45:00.001-04:00

We had the best time chatting with Joey Esposito from CraveOnline last week.

CraveOnline: You mentioned your other comics - you've also got Moon Girl on Comixology. Was that an easier project to get off the ground because of your success with Zuda?

TT: Absolutely. Zuda is making waves and people are noticing.
JZ: It's great to branch out on other platforms. With Moon Girl we're on iPhones, and soon, iPads.

Moon Girl Meets LaMorte Sisters

2010-02-10T12:21:00.000-05:00

It's not a hilarious Abbott and Costello set up. The Rhazzah, famous Moon Girl artist, has graced Tony and I with a LaMorte Sisters pin up of Maddie. Click the image for a closer look at our vampy new girl.

I love the Philly skyline as he's drawn it. He points the camera East toward Society Hill and Old City where the buildings are older; French Gothic through Art Deco.

Moon Girl Review on Comic Book Resources

2010-01-19T11:53:00.000-05:00

Comic Book Resources gave us a nice write up about our new iPhone comic, Moon Girl.

"Super Heroes are tricky," Zito said. "We find they work best when re-contextualized to the 1940s – 60s. We took a lot of inspiration from 'Justice League: New Frontier' and 'Marvels.' 'Moon Girl, is based on a Golden Age superhero created by Gardner Fox for EC Comics in the 1940s. The copyright has slipped into public domain so we started there."

"It's 'The Dark Knight' meets 'Mad Men,'" Trov said when describing the book. "Clare is a Russian princess exiled to New York. When enemies from the past threaten her new life, the repressed Warrior Queen fights back. The media catches wind of her nocturnal crusade and christen her Moon Girl."

Zito added that Moon Girl is a "champion of the counter culture," and represents a movement of young people "fed up with the corporatism and conformity" of post World War II.

"The urban legends of Moon Girl inspire the 'Super Manifesto' - a post-human gospel," he said. "Activists subvert the establishment by dressing in bright Technicolor clothes and taking futuristic new names. Extremists turn to violence and terror, expecting to shock the system into change. Only Moon Girl stands between them and us, anarchy and order."

Champion of the counter culture, Moon Girl represents a movement of young people fed up with the corporatism and conformity of post World War II opulence.

Kingpin of Pain Debuts On Line

2009-05-12T11:17:00.000-04:00

PHILADELPHIA, PA - Tony Trov and Johnny Zito write and produce “Kingpin of Pain” The martial arts movie was an entry in the Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Festival. The 48 Hour Film project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which teams of masochistic film makers write, shoot, edit and score a short movie — in just 48 hours. The film won best editing and special effect awards for its epic karate fights and silly pyro stunts.

Written in four hours and shot in 14, "Kingpin of Pain" is about a tournament of warriors fighting over a sword of immortal power. It stars Adult Cover Girl, Stoya as Kamikaze SheGun 5000, the world's baddest ninja. Stoya's character is the reigning champion and uses the sword for evil.

"You're randomly assigned the props, dialogue and genre so you make the best of it. All the visual short hand we learned in comics came in handy," says Tony Trov. “A lot of the action centers on Stoya’s deadly kung fu skills. Her scissor chokehold can kill a man.” adds Johnny Zito.

"This is my first time playing a bad guy," says Stoya about her 48 Hour debut. "I'm handy with a sword and beating up boys is always fun."

"Kingpin of Pain" is available on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHArut9JDyM

Tony Trov and Johnny Zito live in a big Philadelphia row home with all of their childhood friends and a cowardly dog. They are best friends for life and super writing partners. Read their girl gang vs Zombie comic at BlackCherryBombshells.com.

Stoya™ is original, outrageous, and chipping away at the common misconceptions regarding the adult industry and sexuality. Stoya’s youthful, pristine body envelops an old soul and intellectual mind. She is a rare combination of book and street smarts. In 2008 and 2009 Stoya achieved a unanimous sweep of best new performer awards, including the coveted AVN Best New Starlet and XBIZ New Starlet of the Year.

Happy Birthday, Black Cherry Bombshells

2009-03-03T10:55:00.000-05:00

It's the one year anniversary of The Black Cherry Bombshells this month.

I'm going to try and dip into the war chest and see what behind the scenes nonsense we can blog over the course of the month to celebrate.

But we thought a great way to kick off the birthday celebration would be a retrospective of our favorite pictures from the most awesome year that ever was:

This is the day we submitted to Zuda Comics.

This was the morning the competition ended. We're on our way to our day jobs. We'd come home comic book writers or not.

NY Comic Con two weeks after we won; this is where we got to finally meet the Zuda crew in person.

Going to San Diego to promote a comic book is something I've dreamed about (literally) since I was 15.

It was even better than I imagined.

The best part about the comic has been how many awesome people we've had the opportunity to meet.

When we visited DC's offices in NY they surprised us with a bit of our art hanging in the hallowed halls of Superman and Mad Magazine. It was very flattering.

Our First Friday signing with Kevin Colden (of Fishtown fame) was a happy accident. I've always fantasized about hosting a gallery. The fact that it was an artsy event at a comic shop was particularly funny.

The whole BCB team met for the first time at NY Comic Con this year (which was a few months earlier in '09). Even though we talk everyday it was super cool to hang out, get drinks and laugh with out emoticons.

Thanks everyone who voted for us last year. Thanks everyone who's jumped on board since. Thanks DC Comics for bringing Zuda to the internet. Thanks Dario Argento, the Philly Roller Girls and Las Vegas for being awesome.

Feelin' great in oh-eight. Doin' fine in oh-nine and again in twenty-ten.

Tony Trov is Poet Laureate of Philadelphia

2009-02-23T10:37:00.000-05:00

The whole Black Cherry Bombshells crew did an IFC interview at New York Comic Con and the only part to survive was a clever quip from Tony Trov.

The best description of NYCC EVER; at about .50 seconds.

Of course Tony is in the video about geek culture; he manages to stand out more than the dude in the home made Kid Flash costume.

-Johnny Zito

Black Cherry Bombshells in Print

2009-02-19T10:56:00.000-05:00

When Black Cherry Bombshells got picked up last year we rushed right up to NYCC. Zuda put out their first printed sampler to hand out at the booth.

The sampler highlights some of the ongoing series with a few pages of art and explanation; like the Zuda year book.

This year Black Cherry Bombshells made it into the new sampler; a couple of screens from the comic and a really cool splash page for the logo. Download it HERE.

Thanks :)

Now check out my pictures, ya jerks.

Philly First Friday Signing = Success

2008-12-10T10:59:00.000-05:00

Last Friday we teamed up with Fishtown author and phellow philly native Kevin Colden to host an art gallery and book signing.

The whole thing went down at Brave New Worlds, a fancy comic shop in a fancy Philly neighborhood. See, the first Friday of every month BNW and the other stores in Old City open their doors to host free art galleries. We sold some Black Cherry Bombshells prints, gave out Black Cherry Bombshells‘ pins and Zuda shwag.

Special thanks to Miss, creator of Escape from Special and Kevin's awesome wife, who helped us tap our box o wine and set up the cheese tray.

More pictures after the jump:

Kevin and Miss are the best. Hope we can do it again some time.

NEW Black Cherry Bombshells' Fan Art and Comics

2008-11-10T11:29:00.000-05:00

New Black Cherry Bombshells' strip comes out today and it's my favorite kind of page: Splash Page.

Speaking of awesome art; check out our buddy Rahzzah's sent us above.

Not only is it his second piece of Black Cherry Bombshells' fan art - Not only does it cameo Tony and myself as dismembered zombie heads - Not only is Rahzzah the talented co-writer/co-director of a wicked cool Choose Your Own Zombie Adventure Movie BUT It also looks pretty, god damn good.

Thanks, Rhazzah.

High Rez Black Cherry Bombshells' Fan Art

2008-11-04T11:24:00.000-05:00

Took some sassy negotiating skills but I managed to get Rahzzah to send up some high rez copies of his latest Black Cherry Bombshells' fan art.

Click the image above for a full size view. Click HERE to see it at print quality dpi.

You can really tell it's my and Tony's dismembered heads that Regina is holding on to. We're both making goofy faces. I wonder if Rahzzah used our Zombie Prom photos as reference.

CORRECTIONS:

While hyping Rahzzah's choose-your-own-zombie-adventure-movie I credited him the writer/director. Turns out he shares that title with a bunch of talented friends; too many to mention by name he says. So, we're amending his role to: Co-Writer/Director/Actor/Producer/Composer/Snazzy Dresser.

Happy Halloween Interview

2008-10-31T10:45:00.000-04:00

Bobby Timony is a scholar and a gentleman.

The Black Cherry Bombshells have a very unique visual style and it's all thanks to Sacha Borisich, our amazing artist.

Black Cherry Bombshells @ PinkRaygun.com

2008-10-13T10:47:00.000-04:00

The Black Cherry Bombshells are really tearing it up this Halloween season.

PinkRaygun.com has an interview with me and Tony.

What’s a girl to do when every man on Earth becomes a zombie? (And not the kind of zombie a guy becomes when we talk about shoes or ask him to pick up tampons on his beer run - genuine, flesh-eating zombies.) The only reasonable thing to do is get tattooed, join a bootlegger gang, and get in touch with your bad ass side.

Pink Raygun is a webzine focusing on the modern fangirl. It’s a smart and savvy place to discuss and read about science fiction, fantasy and horror in all of their forms, be it television, movies, books or comics. It’s Starlog meets Glamour, Babylon 5 meets Coupling, Isaac Asimov meets Helen Fielding. But snarkier.

Zito & Trov Interview @ ComicMonsters.com

2008-10-03T10:50:00.000-04:00

Tony and I are done most of the work on the production side of things for season 1 of The Black Cherry Bombshells. We're just spell checking and pushing papers around now.

We're using the extra time to try and spread the word about our zombie killin' girls.

Enter ComicMonsters.com and their interview with me and Tony:

The Big Bad Wolf: Are these zombies the slow, lumbering zombies, or are they runners?
Tony Trov: They are definitely lumbering zombies. Arrgghhh....
Johnny Zito:They've been dried out by the the Las Vegas sun and suffer from rigor mortise.
Tony Trov: Nothing against fast zombies but we embrace the classics.

It was actually really cool because, as a monster site, they were interested in getting into the zombie science.

2008-07-31T10:50:00.000-04:00

Well they covered the whole Zuda Comics' Panel Black Cherry Bombshells just happen to be there, too. See us on the end?

Never thought comic books would take it this far.

Blogist and all around nice guy JK Parkin was very flattering in his article. It's all true; Sheldon drinking, Doan killing Superman and I wouldn't wish a Zuda contest on my worst enemy :)

Read it at Newsarama and be sure to drop a line if you were there. We know who you were. You watched it, you can't un-watch it!

Whoa. San Diego was awesome. We flew home yesterday and are still recovering.

Check out our photo gallery for pics of the whole trip!

San Diego Comic Con - Day Three

2008-07-27T11:01:00.000-04:00

OMG It's ZUDA PANEL DAY!

Check us out 10:30, in Room 4 at the San Diego Convention Center. We're gonna be talking up all kinds of nonsense. Come hang out!

Yesterday was awesome. Saturday at the Con did non disappoint. Tony and I got there early and hung out in DC's 'talent suite' which over looks the convention floor.

It's funny because it faces the Marvel booth. But you can see everyone's costumes real well from up here so it's perfect for people watching.

Tony danced with the devil.
Then we backed up the baddest Jedi in SD against the forces of evil; as Batman laughed with the sick delight that only a deranged man in a rubber mask can ever know.

This is it folks. Last day to get a Black Cherry Bombshells' pin. Check out Tony and I at 1:00 pm today. We be booth #8217.

Peas,

-Johnny Zito

San Diego Comic Con - Day Two

2008-07-26T11:01:00.000-04:00

Tony and I went to the beach yesterday. There are no pictures because we spent most of the day lost.

We're signing at 1:00 pm today. We be booth #8217. Please come see us and get a Black Cherry Bombshells pin.

But we did make it to the Con and Day two was even bigger and crazier than day one.

Everyone was there, even Jesus.

Catwoman took Tony's breath away.

While I copped hugs from this dude.

There was a chick giving away 'free ass grabs' but I walked on by. Looked like it might be a trap.

Then we did 'the swim' with Aquaman. He wanted to go to the beach but we told him we already did that.

Don't forget about our panel Sunday at 10:30 in Room 4. There's supposed to be some announcements, well worth turning out if you're around.

-Johnny Zito

San Diego Comic Con - Day One

2008-07-25T11:02:00.000-04:00

San Diego has the most gorgeous weather of any city ever. Tony and I did the convention thing yesterday. Our signing was at 5. Same for today. We be booth #8217. Please come see us and get a Black Cherry Bombshells' pin.

We we're giving them out while we were doing signing and sketches. Well, I sketched while Tony promoted.

We met some Ninja Turtles outside the convention center.

And Wonder Woman inside :)

The whole Zuda Comics' crew went out to dinner and Tony and I finally got to shoot the shit with Jeremy Love from Bayou who turns out is also from Philly like me and Tony. Like me and Tony, he's also been mugged with ninja stars in the city of brotherly love. That's a story only folks from Philly and Feudal Japan can claim.

We ended up drinking at the Hyatt with all the other comic books people AND some folks here on a medical conference. To the two women bumming cigarettes outside: For shame. You're in the medical field. You should know better.

Today we're going to take lil time for the beach and a lot of time for the con. Be back with more pictures tomorrow.

-Johnny Zito

I'm Leaving for San Diego Comic Con

2008-07-21T11:03:00.000-04:00

So if you are wearing a costume please swing by the Zuda Comics booth so we can snap your picture and put it up on our MySpace blog.

We be booth #8217
Thursday and Friday from 5:00-6:00 PM
Saturday and Sunday from 1:00-2:00 PM

Happy Birthday, Superman 4 (Project Rooftop Edition)

2008-06-15T11:34:00.000-04:00

This Superman is a fresh design I did for Project Rooftop who are currently doing a Superman Homage of their own.

I'm of the opinion that Superman's costume can't be improved on. However, I recognize it might not translate well to every medium. That's why my submission is specifically designed to work as a costume for the Clark Kent of television's Smallville.

I tried to keep the uniform in the same tone and style as the other Justice League characters who have guest starred. But I borrowed the 'S' shield from Superman Returns and the textures from the Spider-Man movies.

Another strong influence was Thor's suit in the Ultimates. I scrapped the Superman yellow in exchange for reflective/glowing patches of fabric like the Norse god's chest plate. Even the suit itself absorbs and concentrates solar energy to feed Clark's alien physiology. When he really pours it on the whole suit shines.

-Johnny Zito

Wizard World Philadelphia 2008 Wrap Up

2008-06-02T11:04:00.000-04:00

Wizard World Philly was a great time. Tony and I toured the convention floor and gave out official Black Cherry Bombshells' shwag and took pictures with all the costumed attendees. Check out more photos in our gallery.

Friday night we partied at the Trocadero with Skeletor. Yes, THE Skeletor and his amazing, evil karaoke gongshow. I made it to the bridge in 'LoLa' before the scourge of Eternia gonged me off stage.

Quick shout to Rex, Mike and Brietman (sp?) who we met for the first time at the DC Comics' Booth. Rex and the guys gave out BCB pins for us Friday and Saturday. If you didn't get one, check us out in San Diego.

The Men of DC Comics

2008-05-17T11:31:00.000-04:00

So Adam Hughes illustrated this sweet 'Vanity Fair' style pin up of the super heroines from the DC Universe for the New York Comic Con.

It was a real smash, everyone dug it. Mostly.

And then Joanna, comic book journalist and blogger at Comics Worth Reading, had this great idea. She asked her readers what a male version of that poster might look like.

Here's my entry:

John Stewart (Green Lantern), Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), Ryan Choi (The Atom), Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), Bruce Wayne (Batman), Clark Kent (Superman), Krypto (the Super Dog), Barry Allen (The Flash), Dick Grayson (Robin), John Henry Irons (Steel), Arthur Curry (Aquaman)

My line up is a classic catch all with a few modern additions. Special credit to fellow Zudite Paul Salvi for the brilliant idea of putting Hal in his Air Force dress uniform. (Although I did go with the tropical white.)

Super (bu-huh!) Hi Res HERE.

Check out the other fantastic entries at Comics Worth Reading. Make sure you drop a comment for your favorite!

Regina Pin-Up by The Hernandez Bros!

2008-04-23T11:32:00.000-04:00

While hanging out at the New York Comic Con we got to meet lots of great Zuda Comics creators including the amazingly talented Hernandez Brothers.

While hanging out at the signing booth they did this awesome sketch of Regina for us.

Gabe and Chachi Hernandez are the creators of Joe Comics; a serialized, satirical celebration of just how ridiculous super heroes and villains can be.

Make sure you nominate them for this July's Zuda Comics Invitational where former competitors get a second shot at the title.

Write Up in Write Now Magazine

2008-01-13T10:43:00.000-05:00

About a month ago Tony and I did a Black Cherry Bombshells' interview for Write Up Magazine. It's a TwoMorrow's publication and they've got a whole thing on Zuda Comics and, presumably, web comics in general.

From the solicitation:

WRITE NOW #19 (80 pages, $6.95) is a SPECIAL BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT ISSUE featuring: a great photo cover of Christian Bale as The Dark Knight! It features ?Dark Knight and Spirit executive producer Michael Uslan on the writing process for films, Dennis O’Neil on adapting The Dark Knight movie to novel form, Brian Bendis script and Leinil Yu pencils from Marvel’s Secret Invasion #1, mystery and comics writer Max Alan Collins discusses his career and upcoming projects, Mark Millar script and Bryan Hitch pencils from their upcoming run on FF, DAN SLOTT script and STEVE McNIVEN pencils from Spider-Man’s BRAND NEW DAY, inside info on DC’s online Zuda Comics imprint from Ron Perazza, Alex Grecian talks about the making of his Image series Proof!, and more! Edited by Danny Fingeroth.

Kinda cool that we got a Batman cover, too. If I learned anything this year it's not to be afraid of hanging out in Batman's long shadow :)

Look for Write Now Magazine where ever comics are sold.
