have been filled with comics sensations such as Farel
Dalrymple (Pop Gun War, Omega
the Unknown), James Jean (Process: Recess,
Fables), Tomer Hanuka (Bipolar), Thomas
Herpich (Cusp, Gongwanadon), Brandon

Button). Now a new gang of young creators have joined the Meathaus
to form the largest group of awesome dudes who like to rock yet.

In
the great lineage of comic books, no one has explored heroes and
villains quite like Nerdcore™. In this 12-month, 2008
calendar, heroines and their evil counterparts square off in
quite revealing ways — a fully nude firestarter igniting her
surroundings,
a “super” lass undresses after a hard day’s night of
battling bad guys, and a katana-wielding vixen, wearing a
headband and not much else, shows a few ninjas who’s the real
boss is. These are the powered-up ladies that watch over
downtown
Los Angeles
from rooftops and can turn invisible with the snap of a finger.
They are the heroes and villains of the 2008 Nerdcore™
calendar.
