Let’s face it. These days, everyone’s doing teasers of teasers of trailers (which are teasers) of movies these days. Committing entire staffs of marketers to creating a “viral” campaign for whatever the latest movie is. J.J. Abrams is one of the best at this tactic. He’s shown pretty deft hand at this with LOST (fake Oceanic airlines commercials during the show, anyone?) and with the entire hacker thing leading up to Super 8. District 9 had a pretty great lead up using that interrogation video.
And now, we’ve even got one for the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. (Which, I’d like to stop and say that I’ve changed my opinion about this… the latest trailer looks really awesome.)
All of that said, and with 44 days left until The Ultimate Underfold’s start, I thought it was about time to unleash the first J.J. Abrams-style teaser for you.
So here it is. One 24×24 square from the first page of The Ultimate Underfold.
So, let’s see… what can we glean from this small amount of detail? Wild speculations are encouraged.

So apparently the first storyline involves Brian painting his areolas black?
Is going black areola-ed as bad as black face? I don’t know if I want to find out!
It speaks volumes! I don’t know where to begin! Just… the passion! The sheer might of this 24×24 image is too much for fragile minds. I shudder to think of the awesomeness an expanded view would unleash!
It could melt your face off.

Will we finally see what’s behind the lunch bag. Yes, my friends, could it be? An orange. That means this entire comic has been a sham, created out of the desire for revenge, masked by comedy. The one eye, the tentacles, the lunch bag. Brian’s need to find his workplace break room coffee mug violator has turned into a paranoia riddled, almost drug induced investigatory fervor. A deftly disguised lunch bag, innocently left on the break room counter. Passersby glance in and “oh only an orange”. Knowing no one will throw it away, it’s not their lunch bag after all, it sits for weeks, nay months, watching. Watching, waiting. One of these many slimy armed imposters Brian calls friends, one of them is guilty. Which one? Will we ever know? Will someone finally throw the lunch bag away, tossing away Brian’s chance at coffee mug “I knew it was you” redemption? Only The Underfold knows.
Oooohhhhhh man!
