JOSH HOWARD'S DEAD@17:AFTERBIRTH MAKES WORLD PREMIERE AT ARLINGTON, TX'S LONE STAR COMICS!



Lone Star Comics to host World Premiere party for DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH!

DEAD@17 creator Josh Howard celebrates his acclaimed horror series' move to Image Comics in a big way with a World Premiere party for DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH at Lone Star Comics in Southwest Arlington on Saturday, June 13th!

"Launching DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH at Lone Star Comics feels right as they've been supporters of mine since I started," Howard said. "The mini-series acts as a new beginning for the series, yet also ties in together threads long time fans have been following for a long time. Nara's new role in The Zodiac is going to really shake things up and bring out some more skeletons from the series' closet."

DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH catches fans up with Nara Kilday, the demonslayer recently resurrected to become an agent of the covert ops force, The Zodiac. Her new role sets up an all-new stage for the series as she attempts to safe guard her best friend, who may be key to the upcoming apocalypse. During Lone Star's World Premiere, Howard will be signing and doing free sketches for fans who purchase DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH #1, the latest Dead@17 series and the first to be published by Image Comics, or DEAD@17: ULTIMATE EDITION collection, which collects all four previous series. The event begins at 5 PM with food and drink made available throughout the night.

DEAD @ 17: AFTERBIRTH #1 (APR090331), a 32-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in-stores June 17th, 2009. Lone Star Comics is located at 4001 W. Green Oaks Suite 153, Arlington, TX 76016. Please call 817-265-2550 for additional details. For more information on Josh Howard and Dead @ 17, please visit www.joshhoward.net

Lone Star Comics is one of the largest comic, gift, and specialty game retailers in the nation and serves North Texas with seven store locations. They also host the world’s largest selection of comics at www.mycomicshop.com for customers all over the world.

"...a thrilling read..." -- Fandomania

"MUPPET ROBIN HOOD is as close to a sure thing as you can get - especially if you're a MUPPETS FAN." -- MTV Splash Page

"...a lot of fun..." - Eye on Comics

"...a good book, and Muppet fans will definitely enjoy it." - Comixtreme

BOOM! Studios announced the launch of their new imprint, "BOOM! Kids" in late March. BOOM! Kids serves as a child-appropriate home for BOOM!'s kid-friendly publishing content.

Battlestar Galactica Minimates Return!




The oft-rumored return of the Battlestar Galactica Minimates line can now be confirmed, owing its resurrection to The World’s Greatest Toy Store, Toys”R”Us.


The first new wave of Battlestar Galactica Minimates, featuring updated versions of fan favorites and never before seen characters, will be available this summer exclusively at Toys”R”Us stores nationwide, and online at Toysrus.com, with additional waves coming later this year.

The Battlestar Galactica Minimates line began in 2007, and during its production run, over 60 different Minimate versions of the hit series’ robotic Cylons and human crew were released. However, when the line was discontinued, fans were left without several key characters featured in the later seasons of the epic sci-fi adventure - including the human-model Cylons and the Final Five survivors of Earth. In addition to all-new characters, these Toys”R”Us exclusive waves will include new versions of the show’s main cast - such as Admiral William Adama, Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace and Lee “Apollo” Adama.

“We’ve been searching for the right partner to help continue the Battlestar Galactica Minimate line for a while, and working with Toys”R”Us on this project has been a dream come true for all of us,” remarked Chuck Terceira, Director of Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles. “The truly exciting part about this announcement is how new fans of the show will be able to experience Battlestar Galactica Minimates for the first time, while customers familiar with the original line will finally be able to complete their collections.”

The first assortment of all-new Battlestar Galactica Minimates is scheduled to arrive at Toys”R”Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com beginning in June and will feature the following figures:

Leoben aka Number Two & Kara “Starbuck” Thrace

D’Anna Biers aka Number Three & Lee “Apollo” Adama

Admiral William Adama & Razor Cylon Warrior

John Cavill aka Number One & Tylium Mine Cylon

Aaron Doral aka Number Four & Stealth Cylon

Each two-pack will be available for $6.99 and includes two Minimates - each standing over two inches tall, with an incredible 14 points of articulation. As always, the Minimates feature removable and interchangeable parts that unlock endless combinations, while parallel Minimate lines allow fans to combine their favorite television, movie and comic characters in one cohesive set - including characters based on Marvel Comics, Ghostbusters, Terminator 2, Star Trek, Back to the Future and more!

Further Battlestar Galactica offerings are also in the works, including a second assortment of Toys”R”Us exclusive Minimates as well as a few surprises that long-time fans of the break-out toy line will recognize. For more information about what the future holds for this growing line, please visit www.artasylum.com and www.diamondselecttoys.com.
