New Book Day is the story of two fanboys who live in Philadelphia. It follows their lives and loves as they try to get through life, find the latest Avengers variant cover and still find time to play Street Fighter.

The Cast:

“Diego” Murdock – Diego has been a fanboy since his mother bought him his first X-Men comic at the local pharmacy. When he discovered later he had the same last name as Daredevil, all bets were off.

He has been attending college off and on for 9 years (mostly off) and hopes to finish his degree in Graphic Design “someday”. He currently works in a supermarket as a stock clerk, or as he puts it “product placement engineer”. Diego recently began dating Roxxane, who he later found out is a hardcore otaku.

Trevor Harlowe – Trevor is a gamer, pure and simple. Whether role-playing games, video games or tic-tac-toe, it doesn’t matter. He has never seen a RPG book he didn’t have to have or a Final Fantasy game he didn’t need to play.

Trevor grew up in New Jersey and moved to Philadelphia after college to work as a programmer. He met Diego shortly thereafter and the two became fast friends when Diego learned Trevor had actually been to Kevin Smith’s comic shop in New Jersey. Trevor has been dating his girlfriend Nikki for over five years.

Roxxane McKibben – Roxy is a hardcore otaku, which means she lives for Japanese anime, manga and culture. She can quote Gundam verbatim and loves to cosplay (usually as male characters).

Roxxane moved to Philadelphia last year to attend school and shares an apartment with her older sister Sara. She recently started dating Diego and later discovered his fanboy habits.

Nikki Genovese – Nikki is Trevor’s long time (and long suffering) girlfriend. As the only “normal” one in the group, it usually falls to her to keep the rest of them, Trevor in particular, in line.

Nikki is a hairdresser who works at one of the upscale spas in the city. She met Trevor when he came in with a friend from work to get a haircut. It wasn’t until later Nikki learned why Trevor carried dice with him where ever he went.
