Lovern Kindzierski, Gregory Chomichuk and Ed Brisson's Underworld was launched to the reading world last week at McNally Robinson Books in the creator's home turf of Winnipeg.

The first reviews have been published from popmythology, Broken Frontier and Fox Force Five News. We've grabbed quotes from them as they are quite complimentary, click the links to read the full reviews.

Tomorrow Lovern Kindzierski and Gregory Chomichuk's mythic Winnipeg odyssey, Underworld will be officially launched at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg. On Wednesday, Gordon Rennie, PJ Holden, Steven Denton and Jim Campbell's Dept. of Monsterology: Sabbaticals, the second book in the series will be in all the best book and comic stores across the world.
