If you're looking for a zombie series that stands out from the crowded undead horde, this is your lucky week. Over at Drive Thru Comics, Caliber has put together a bundle of Deadworld comics (and a couple other series) for a ridiculously low price. 76 comics for $30, which is 79% off the regular price.

GET THE DEADWORLD MEGA BUNDLE NOW!

If you're new to Deadworld, here's the synopsis:

A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. The dead return to walk the earth...but this is no standard zombie story.  The dead are just foot soldiers for those who have crossed the ‘Gateway’. There are leader zombies who are intelligent, sadistic, and in addition to having a hankering for flesh, enjoy the tortuous ordeals they put the surviving humans through.
 
Overall leader of the zombies is the intelligent, Harley-riding, chain-smoking sarcastic being known as King Zombie. Killing humans is just a sideline passion to his cruel methods as he seeks to find a way to open the ‘Gateway’, a dimensional portal, permanently and take over the Earth under his rule.
 
Deadworld is a critically acclaimed action driven horror comic series that attacks the zombie menace from a different ‘supernatural’ perspective. In addition to having intelligent zombies with a mission and goal, Deadworld also explores the human interactions as mankind finds itself facing extinction. And while some groups organize in the best interests of self-preservation, others use this as an opportunity to explore their own self-deluded dreams.
 
Deadworld is a story of horror...of survival...of hope and despair. It is an ongoing saga of modern man facing his darkest side...where science and technology are no longer his allies...where his power of reasoning is no longer his weapon alone. Deadworld is death, yet life.


In addition to the Deadworld comics, you also get Realm of the Dead #1-3 and Tattoo #1-4, both complete series.

So what are you waiting for? 76 comics for $30--get on it. Click here to grab the bundle! And be quick about it--the deal only goes through this Friday 3/3!

HUGE NEWS!!!! One of my favorite artists of all time is heading to Riverdale! 

Pete Woods who drew my favorite run on ROBIN and had a stint on DEADPOOL will be bringing his talents to the world of Archie where he joins writer Mark Waid on ARCHIE # 18. 

This is a huge catch for Archie. Pete's style fits in perfectly with the flow and feel of what the title is doing, introducing a 'new look' and 'new feel' to the amazing world of Riverdale.

Papercutz Brings THE LOUD HOUSE to Comics on May 9th

2/16/2017

 
Picture
Press Release

Things are about to get much louder this spring when Papercutz, one of the industry’s leading children’s graphic novel publishers, releases, “There Will Be Chaos,” the first graphic novel based on Nickelodeon’s The Loud House on May 9. The Loud House graphic novel marks the first time the characters will appear in a full volume and features stories and artwork from show creator and executive producer, Chris Savino, and his talented team of animators and writers.

Papercutz Publisher Terry Nantier says, “It was clear from the start that The Loud House was something special. I think anyone who’s ever had siblings can relate to Lincoln’s struggles. And the pilot episode Nickelodeon previewed for us was one of the funniest cartoons I’ve ever seen. We couldn’t wait to add it to the Papercutz lineup.”
Added Papercutz Editor-in-Chief Jim Salicrup, “What has me excited is how hands-on Chris and his team have been with the development of the comics material. It’s been a great creative collaboration and it’s ensured that the comic fully captures the unique spirit and humor of the television series.” 
“Comics are a first love of mine, so it’s incredibly exciting to expand The Loud House universe with this graphic novel,” said Savino. “With endless stories to be told from Lincoln and his 10 sisters, The Loud House feels just as 'at home' on the printed page as it does on television, and I look forward to sharing all the adventures to come with readers.”

Papercutz teamed up with Savino to distribute The Loud House mini-comics at San Diego ComicCon International 2015 and 2016, and more recently featured The Loud House comics in its Nickelodeon Pandemonium anthology.

The Loud House follows 11-year-old Lincoln as he gives an inside look at what it takes to survive in the bedlam of a large family, especially as the only boy with 10 sisters. With his best bud Clyde, Lincoln always comes up with a plan to stay one step ahead of the chaos, but whether or not it works is where the adventures begin. Inspired by creator Chris Savino’s (Rocko’s Modern Life, The Powerpuff Girls) chaotic life growing up in a huge household, the series was recently picked up for a third season.
Fans can watch episodes of The Loud House on Nickelodeon, Nick.com and the Nick App.

Introducing...Scout Comics!

A few years ago at a New York Comic Con I met a real cool guy named Brendan Deneen who during an interview we did, we discovered not only a comic book connection but because of where he grew up in Connecticut he knew several of the same people I did.  But the world got even smaller when he knew a friend of Brian's. As the head of Ardden Entertainment Brendan was the face and voice of the company. Now Brendan is the voice of Scout Comics....

I recently caught up with him online and he gave SI this update:

"A little over a year ago, Ardden Entertainment (Flash Gordon, Casper the Friendly Ghost, etc) transformed into Scout Comics, and we now focus only on creator-owned characters (sorry Flash and Casper).

We had an incredible first year, particularly with HENCHGIRL (in development as a TV series) and ONCE OUR LAND (in development as an animated feature film).  And we are launching 15(!) new comics in 2017.

Thanks and I hope you are doing GREAT!"

We wish Brendan and Scout comics, and we look forwrad to checking out all those new books. To find out more about what they're up to, go to www.scoutcomics.com.


Image Founders Reunite at Emerald City Comicon

2/14/2017

Press Release

Image Comics and ReedPOP, the leading producer of pop culture events are pleased to announce that original Image Comics company founders Todd McFarlane, Jim Valentino, Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Marc Silvestri, and Whilce Portacio will reunite at Emerald City Comicon 2017 to celebrate the company’s milestone 25th anniversary. The panel will be moderated by Walking Dead creator and Image Comics partner, Robert Kirkman.

The Image Comics founders will come together for a very special ECCC panel on Friday, March 3rd from 1:00–2:30 PM. The panel will focus on the origin story of the company when, 25 years ago, a group of comics artists looked at the difference between what they were capable of and what they were being given, and left the promise of steady work for new pastures. The result was Image Comics, which has grown from an upstart group to a comics publisher that has changed the course of the industry. Image's 25th anniversary year begins with this special event, a rare gathering that is not to be missed.

Following the panel, there will be an exclusive signing with the Image Comics founders in the Grand Ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel located next door to the Washington State Convention Center from 3:00–4:30 PM. ECCC will coordinate a ‘lottery system’ where badge-holding fans will submit their names and a lucky 300 fans will win a limited edition poster and admission to have it signed by the founders. Lottery applications are open on the Emerald City Comicon website until February 21st.

On February 1, 1992 seven comics superstars Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, and Jim Valentino came together to form their own company that would change the landscape of comics forever. Current partners McFarlane, Valentino, Kirkman, Larsen, and Silvestri collectively have brought creator-owned comics to the forefront of industry change and, after 25 years of amazing storytelling freedom, Image Comics celebrates the milestone anniversary all year long with ongoing promotions, events, and festivities. 

For more details on Image Comics at ECCC, including the full list of panels, signings, show variants, and attending creators, check back for updates at: www.imagecomics.com.  

Emerald City Comicon is the premier comic book and pop culture convention in the Northwest taking place in downtown Seattle at the Washington State Convention Center. Celebrating its 15th anniversary, this year’s show will take place March 2 – 5, 2017. For tickets and additional show information, please visit www.EmeraldCityComicon.com

Join The RESISTANCE!

Press Release

What if D-Day had failed and the Third Reich continued to roll across Europe?  Following in the alternate history footsteps of "The Man in the High Castle" and "Fatherland," RESISTANCE shines a light on the little known British Resistance Organization (BRO), Churchill's top-secret and highly trained civilian army designed to wreak havoc on occupying enemy forces.  This BAFTA Award-winning revisionist drama will be available on DVD and Digital on March 7th from Omnibus Entertainment, the specialty label of award-winning independent and foreign film distributor Film Movement.
 
Starring Michael Sheen ("Masters of Sex", Nocturnal Animals, Underworld), Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Oblivion) and "Game of Thrones" stars Iwan Rheon and Tom Wlaschiha, RESISTANCE, based on the acclaimed novel by Owen Sheers is set in Nazi-occupied Britain.  D-Day has failed, and, as Panzer divisions and Nazi troops sweep westward across the dispirited countryside, Sarah Lewis (Riseborough), a young Welsh farmer's wife, awakens to find that her husband, along with all the other men are gone - presumably having fled the village to join the top-secret BRO.  Shortly thereafter, a small Wehrmacht platoon arrives in the pastoral countryside and sets up an outpost in the valley to root out the resistance.  And when the severe winter forces them to cooperate with the locals, Sarah befriends the commanding officer, Albrecht (Wlaschiha), and the lines between collaboration, duty, occupation and survival are put to the test. Called "abeautiful, elliptical war film with the haunting qualities of a ghost story" byEmpire Magazine, RESISTANCE was nominated for the prestigious Cinevision Award at the Berlin Film Festival and a BAFTA Cymru Winner for Best Actress (Sharon Morgan).
 
The DVD of RESISTANCE is available to own from FilmMovement.com, Amazon.com, Walmart, and other retailers.
