RED 5 COMICS \u201cCUBICLES\u201d BRINGS INSANE TO THE MUNDANE PART \u201cOFFICE\u201d, PART \u201cFLASH GORDON\u201d.<\/p>\n

AVAILABLE NOW ON COMIXOLOGY.<\/p>\n

July 6, 2011. Calgary, AB — With a mandate to bring off-beat, fresh-talent, eclectic stories of pure fun to the digital comic storefront, Red 5 Comics\u2019 \u201cDigital First\u201d line could find no more perfect story than \u201cCubicles: The Graphic Novel\u201d by writer \/ illustrator Walter Ostlie.<\/p>\n

\u201cCubicles\u201d stars Wally and Ost — two ordinary guys with ordinary desk jobs, complete with monotony, tension relief, horrible bosses and office crushes. But the pair\u2019s tedium is about to be shattered by galactic pirates, savage aliens, and space squid all wanting to destroy their company. Can Wally and Ost save the day? Get the girl? Maybe even get a raise?<\/p>\n

\u201cCubicles is a joy ride,\u201d explains Ostlie. \u201cEvery plot point was devised by asking, \u2018What would be the most fun or crazy thing to do?\u2019 It was great just to throw Wally and Ost into a horrible situation and try to devise how two normal guys, with no special powers, would be able to get out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early reviewers unanimously had a great time with \u201cCubicles\u201d. Comics Should be Good says Ostlie has \u201ca good sense of humor and his comic delivery is strong\u201d with an \u201cimpressive art style\u201d. Comic Buzz gives the book a 9\/10, and was \u201cespecially fond of the tone of the characters. As sardonic, slightly sarcastic dialogue goes the book pretty much nails it.\u201d DC author Caanan Grall \u201claughed out loud quite a bit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCubicles\u201d is told in seven chapters, but the digital graphic novel collects the entire 84-page story for just $3.99 — the price of some single comic issues. If that doesn\u2019t convince you, the first chapter is available for free for a limited time.<\/p>\n

\u201cCubicles\u201d debuts today and is available now on the web, iOS and Android devices through comiXology (comic.comixology.com) digital platform. It will available this summer through digital partners iVerse, Graphicly and Panelfly as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
