The Famed Pitt Creator Provides the Guest Variant for Image United #3
Image's series of guest variants for IMAGE UNITED continues this February with a cover by Pitt creator Dale Keown. The all-new image will adorn the third issue of the six-issue miniseries by Image's founders and will be available both in color and in black and white.
"There are a handful of creators outside the founders with a close association to Image, with Dale very high on that list, so getting him onboard for a guest variant was no-brainer," explained Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. "Between this cover and the recently completed DARKNESS/PITT miniseries, it's a great time for fans of Dale's artwork, and we're all thrilled to have him involved."
Dale Keown's cover features the Image heroes facing off against the IMAGE UNITED's Big Bad, Omega Spawn, both as a nod to the opening pages of series' first issue and as precursor of things to come. Retailers can order as many copies of the color version as they like, but there will also be a limited edition 1:100 version of the cover in pristine black and white, available to qualifying accounts.
IMAGE UNITED #3, a 32-page full color comic book with a cover price of $3.99, will be in-stores February 24.

Reading and signing for acclaimed graphic novel, The Hunter
January 30th, 4:00 PM
On Saturday, January 30th at 4 PM, award-winning creator Darwyn Cooke will read from his much-lauded graphic novel, The Hunter, which is based on the groundbreaking Richard Stark (a.k.a Donald Westlake) novel, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. One of the most acclaimed books of 2009, The Hunter has been included on over 50 “best of” lists, including NPR, Publisher’s Weekly, and Aint it Cool News. Cooke’s defining work has also been named best graphic novel of 2009 by over 15 outlets, such as The Village Voice, IGN and MTV.
Cooke will read from Stark’s novel while presenting images from his adaptation, demonstrating how creatively and accurately he interpreted Stark’s tale. A limited number of tickets are available for this exclusive event through the Museum.
“I am incredibly honored that the Smithsonian American Art Museum is giving me this opportunity to discuss my work and that of the late, great Donald Westlake,” said Cooke.
Released by IDW Publishing in July 2009, The Hunter quickly became a commercial hit and critical success. The Hunter remained on The New York Times best-seller list until it was sold out. A second printing of The Hunter is now available wherever graphic novels are sold.
The Hunter is the first in a series of four graphic novels based on Stark’s character Parker from Cooke and IDW. The second book, The Outfit, will be released in October.
The Hunter (144 pages, hardcover) is now available in stores. ISBN 978-1600104930.
The Outfit will be available in stores in October 2010.

The T-800 takes licking, keeps half his face
He knows now why you cry, and that's probably because the T-1000 has delivered such an unholy beating his way. But as we all know, the T-800 just can't be stopped.
As the world sits in awe of yet another James Cameron classic, NECA pays homage to the greatest and most groundbreaking of them all: Terminator 2: Judgment Day with this incredibly lifelike 12" figure of the T-800 as he appeared in the last moments of the final battle of the film.
Before reality got all topsy-turvy and Arnold Schwarzenegger became a respected politician on the national stage, he was the T-800, and NECA's new Final Battle 12" figure captures his likeness better than ever on a 1/6 scale! Each figure features a light up cybernetic right eye and comes complete with a grenade launcher for all your "Hasta la vista, baby" needs!
The Final Battle T-800 is open for preorders now, hits stores February 2010 and will be available at our Amazon storefront.
Keep it tuned to necaonline.com for more info on T2 and other lines from your favorite games and movies.

In just a few short weeks, fans of Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will be able to take their Ghostbusters Minimates collections to an entirely new level thanks to the latest batch of exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates only available from Toys 'R' Us!
This new assortment will deliver eight new Minimates and complete two sets started in previous waves as well as four new villains - including Vigo himself!
The first two-pack will feature the brilliant Egon Spengler in his Ghostbusters 2 uniform (the last missing Ghostbuster in that style) paired with the Titanic Ghost seen captaining the ill-fated luxury liner in the second Ghostbusters film. Two exclusive sets will complete the Courtroom set started with last year's Peter Venkman by pairing Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler with the dreaded Scolari Brothers - Nunzio and Tony. The final set combines two of our favorite Ghostbusters 2 characters: the near-unstoppable Vigo the Carpathian and Peter Venkman in his "World of the Psychic" ensemble - which of course includes his signature hairless cat!
All four of these exclusive sets will be available in Toys 'R' Us stores nationwide and serve as perfect compliments to the previously-released Ghostbusters Minimates sets currently available in comic and specialty stores. Look for these two-packs in the weeks to come and be sure to check out the latest updates from DiamondSelectToys.com and ArtAsylum.com as the Ghostbusters Minimate universe expands to new heights!
