Heroineburgh Episode 21 , "Cities in Dust" - the grand finale of Season 2 - is available now to download at
http://www.heroineburgh.com/season-two-video/ . It's a double-length epic extravaganza clocking in at 53 minutes!


And we can confidently say that it is the largest group of superpowered female characters to ever appear in a single entertainment vehicle! (film or TV). Yes: way more than the "girl power" scene in Avengers; Endgame, and way more than Logan's "Star of Halcyon" finale from 2016.

Dark Spectra recruits Kaliyuga as her second-in-command for her group of powerful supervillainesses, the Black Faction.
Serpenta gives herself a power upgrade, and also joins up with Dark Spectra.
Then the Faction launches a vicious surprise attack on the Heroine League in their own headquarters, in a bid for total control of the city.
Who will win this epic battle of good and evil, and will anyone else switch sides?
Meanwhile, which side will Drake & Vaporia (the originators of the Black Faction) ally themselves with?
And what role will the new heroine Vigilanta play in the future leadership of the League?

Here's the trailer:



And here's the first group of stills.

Dark Spectra and Kaliyuga attack Vigilanta from both sides.

Thanks to everyone who bought Episode 21 in the first week! We have so many great loyal fans, and also a few newcomers who picked up some other
installments while they were on the site. Great to see.

There's one more way that you could see Episode 21 other than downloading it, but you'll have to be in Pittsburgh. If you're anywhere nearby and feel like making the trek, here are the details:

Wednesday December 14
Parkway Theater 644 Broadway Ave McKees Rocks, PA (just outside Pittsburgh)
Sponsored by Film Kitchen (a monthly film event) and Jump Cut Theater (indie film promoters)
The premiere of Heroineburgh Episode 21 - "Cities in Dust"
The largest gathering of superpowered female characters onscreen in cinematic history!
7 pm reception
8 pm show (53 minutes)
A whole slew of our actresses will be there, so you'll get to meet them in their civilian attire.
And we'll have all the Heroineburgh comic books available, plus the merchandise like stickers, T-shirts and signed photos.

Please note: there will be two screens for this showing.
The main theater holds 45 seats and a few extra standing. Once that fills up, the remainder of the crowd will watch the film
on the huge wall-size screen of the exterior bar simultaneously. We've got a capacity of about 80, so please get there on time.
[bar and micro-brewery available for 21+. Parental guidance suggested for under 13]

If you're actually planning to come, don't hesitate to respond to our Facebook event:

Hey thanks, Doctor! We sold two T-shirts, four comic books, and one sticker, plus one attendee wanted to buy all of Season 2 (we'll see if he ponies up).

Yeah, I wasn't even going to return to the idea of doing local theater premieres like we did for our first 16 episodes,
but three months ago, I attended the local "Film Kitchen" monthly showcase which had a showing of a bunch of short vids from my friend
Rob (who plays "Mason Brick", the evil real-estate developer in Heroineburgh). And the guy who runs Film Kitchen talked with me and offered us the December slot to premiere Episode 21. So, after making sure the episode was ready, we went for it and had two weeks to promote. Turned out great - it was one of the Film Kitchen's largest crowds so far.

I thought all the photos were out there, but apparently not - our friend Mandy (who plays "Olivia Queen", aka the "Quingpin", the evil oil baroness
in the series) took a bunch of photos from the attendees, so here they are!

I think that's probably about it for the premiere photos! Hope everyone is enjoying Episode 21 who purchased it. Thanks folks!

This Saturday, Jan 7 at 11 pm Eastern Standard Time - hang out with Heroineburgh and Arctica the Frost Queen (the always lovely Bridget, complete with blue lipstick) on the Spine Ticks Youtube channel.

We'll talk about our latest live-action episode and comic book, go in-depth with our actress, and have fun nerding out with general pop-culture stuff. Join us in the chat! Hosted by the esteemed Sithlordly with his usual guest panel of comics aficionados.

Oh my, did we have a great time tonight on the Spine Ticks channel (watch the Youtube video above).

We introduced several dozen people in the chat to the comic book and live-action series, and the host "Sithlordly" interviewed myself
and Bridget (Arctica), taking the time to explain carefully about both the videos and the comics. (we usually have to initially explain that it's not 'cosplay')

Bridget got to tell some stories about how she came to be in our series, how excited she was to see herself on the cover of a comic book, and how
the series represents Pittsburgh so well.

Sithlordly played four clips while Bridget narrated them, and the last one - where Arctica passionately kisses Fianna back in Episode 14 - elicited a great response where all of the chat was sending blue hearts and ice cubes, and a couple of the commenters were a bit hot under the collar, but nothing too tawdry :)

So, Arctica and Heroineburgh made a great impression - so much so that we were able to get a couple of Spine Ticks regulars to order a pack of all three issues with some bonus stickers (mailing them out on Monday!). Spine Ticks wants us back after the February Con in State College, so we'll probably return then with a new heroine to get the chat all steamy.

Before I adjourn for the evening, here's something funny: Bridget's boyfriend cosplayed for her on Halloween as the gender-flipped version:
"Arctico, Master of the Mini-Fridge". He rode up with Bridget and us to Terrificon back in 2021, and is a great guy and very supportive!

Check out the funny photos where he mimics Bridget's poses.

Hey, y'all! If anyone is up and around, I'll be on the "Popanimecomics" Youtube channel tonight (2/8/23) at 8:55 PM EST (in an hour and 10 minutes).
We'll be discussing all the pop culture influences on Heroineburgh, talking about the comics and the live-action series including newly released
Episode 21 and Custom 8, and future plans for 2023. I'll be mentioning the other Comicsburgh projects, and maybe some other superheroine series
as well, if the topic drifts that way.

Tune in with me and your host, Andrew 'Mecha' Davis!



Update: This was fun! Although for some reason the host kept bringing up his E-Bay business. Got the message out, though!
