The comics and pop culture site Mutant A Day caught up with Richard, Keli and Joe of the web series The Variants at Dallas Comic Con. Here’s the video:

In Geoff Johnston’s Nerd Round-up post, he gives this nice little shout-out to the web series The Variants:

Ink and color us impressed. What could have easily been a ham-fisted exercise in shameless self-promotion turned out to be something altogether enjoyable.

Thanks, Geoff!

The cast and crew of the web series The Variants had a busy busy weekend — so it was nice to wake up Monday morning to see words like these from the Lex & Terry Show’s own Peter the news guy:

This is pretty good and the production values are surprisingly high.  It is stuff like this that really show the potential for change in the enteratainment industry…

We hope so too, Peter.

We got some nice pre-release coverage from the Dallas Voice. Behold:

“We’re working for comedy but not trying to be cliché,” he says. “We’re not writing the gay characters any different than we would other characters. But we cover the wacky customer service moments. Barry plays the store clerk you like to watch but don’t want to encounter in real life.”

Neal hopes to contrast both straight and gay nerd humor with lots of pop culture references in creating a series that appeals to a wide range of fans, not only from Dallas but throughout the online and comic communities.

Remember, first episode of The Variants web series premieres August 5!

Barry handles a customer with only the best possible customer service.
