Dynamite teams up with Green Hornet and Bionic Man writer Kevin Smith to bring his latest horror comedy to comics with the release of Yoga Hosers, which will be given out to attendees of this week’s Sundance Film Festival!

“Nick and the Dynamite folks have made a home for me at their shop over the years. So when I thought about launching SModComics, he was my first call. I look forward to turning lots of material from my podcasts and movies into 4-color extensions of what we do in other media. And I’m happy to do it with Dynamite – the Jersey-based comics giant!” states Writer/Director Kevin Smith.

“The relationship we have with Kevin is incredibly rewarding. His resume speaks for itself, as he has reinvigorated great comic characters like Daredevil and Green Arrow at Marvel and DC respectively, along with Green Hornet and Six Million Dollar Man here at Dynamite,” states CEO/Publisher Nick Barrucci. “His talent brings fans to the industry, and when he asked if we would be a part of this event, of course we said yes!”
