Today, in the early hours before the World Wide Developer’s Conference Keynote iVerse is happy to announce the release of several new titles. For those of you that are into Apple Keynotes, I’m sure you’re excited to see what new things are in store for us today – I know I’m looking forward to it. I’m hoping for the next version of the iPhone, and a release date for iPhone 3.0.
We’ll be on Twitter talking about the new products I’m sure. So if you’re a Tweeter (or Twitterer…I don’t know) too then feel free to follow us and join in the conversation!
Enough rambling, though, on to the updates! Full solicitations and images after the Quick links….

The Human Resources department of Super Crises International includes all the ordinary folks behind the comic panels that keep your favorite heroes up and running. They file expense reports for hovercrafts, refill the coffee filters, FedEx out the anti-matter nullifiers and clean up the conference rooms after crossovers gone horribly wrong.
In other words, Super Crises International is pretty much like the office you work at. Only stir in a boat-load of circus freaks, with capes, claws and radioactive half-lives. Or as we like to call them, “your co-workers.”
Welcome to Super Human Resources.Your cube is right this way.
“If you ever had a job, Super Human Resources is FUNNY. If you ever liked superheroes, Super Human Resources is VERY FUNNY.” – Joe Kelly (Spider-Man, Action Comics, JLA, Deadpool.)
“This might be the funniest comic book Man has ever produced. Highly recommended and I give it an A.” – Jeff Marsick, Newsarama Best Shots.
“Just when you think all possible avenues of the super-hero genre have been covered and recycled to death, a work like this sneaks on by to yank out your funny bone and hit you over the head with it.” – Richard Caldwell, ComicNews.Info
