IDW partners with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to develop
all-new comics based on blockbuster property
IDW Publishing is pleased to announce a publishing agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to create an entirely new series of comics based on the always-popular Jurassic Park franchise. Launching in June, IDW’s Jurassic Park comics will bring all of the oversized action and prehistoric adventure that fans love in a brand-new story. Plus, IDW will also reprint all the original Topps Jurassic Park comics in a trade paperback collection, most of which have never before been reprinted. Fans attending WonderCon 2010, one of the country’s leading comics and pop culture conventions, held April 2nd through the 4th in San Francisco, can get a sneak peak of the new series at the IDW booth #519 and at the Jurassic Park panel on Friday.
“I’ve been a fan of Jurassic Park since we first published it at Topps back in the 90’s, and it’s exciting revisit and reinvigorate the property after all these years,” said IDW chief operating officer, Greg Goldstein. “There’s so much potential for interesting stories, and we have a great team in place to bring them to life.”
Available in both print and digital, IDW’s Jurassic Park comics kick off with a five-issue story arc, written by IDW Senior Editor and comics veteran Bob Schreck. Nate Van Dyke provides interior art, while comics’ legends Tom Yeates and Frank Miller offer their awesome and gory covers to the first issue, with Arthur Adams, Paul Pope, and Bernie Wrightson also providing variant covers for the first storyline. IDW will be giving away a Jurassic Park poster at WonderCon, featuring Frank Miller’s cover art for issue #1. Schreck, Van Dyke and Yeates will also all be on hand throughout the weekend to sign autographs.
“Having been born in the Jurassic Era myself, I just couldn’t pass up this opportunity,” Schreck commented. “I was raised on a strict diet of Willis O’Brien and Ray Harryhausen movies and adore the Jurassic Park films. I can’t begin to convey the thrill of bringing this tale to life with so many old (and new) super-talented friends and fellow dinosaur lovers.”
The first five-issue story arc in IDW’s new Jurassic Park series, Jurassic Park: Redemtion, takes up thirteen years after the very first Jurassic Park motion picture and finds John Hammond’s grandchildren, Tim and Lex Murphy, as well-to-do young adults. While Lex is working with the UN to continue keeping people off of both Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna -- her brother Tim has other ideas about how to get their grandfather’s name back in good standing.
Each issue in the arc will feature a cover by Yeates and a variant by another major artist. For issue #2, fans can expect great things from Arthur Adams, followed by Paul Pope on issue #3, Bernie Wrightson on issue #4 and the hugely popular dinosaur connoisseur Bill Stout on issue #5.
Jurassic Park: Redemption #1 (32 pages, full color, $3.99) will be available in stores in June.
About the Jurassic Park franchise
Since Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment first joined forces to unleash an adventure over 65 million years in the making, Jurassic Park has become the “premier” and “authentic” dinosaur brand the world over. When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it became an instant phenomenon. In the years that followed, two additional films were released – The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III – bringing the trilogy’s worldwide box office total to more than $2 billion. The franchise continues to resonate with consumers worldwide via consumer products, popular attractions at Universal Studios Theme Parks and annual airings of the three films on a multitude of television networks.

Brace for another exciting issue of Battlefields, from the legendary writer Garth Ennis!
Dynamite Entertainment's hit series, Battlefields, continues its bold march as it reaches the conclusion of "The Firefly and his Majesty". In issue #6, written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Carlos Ezquerra, Sergeant Stiles' hatred of the Nazis has got him right where he wants to be: sitting behind a high-velocity cannon with a mighty German tank in his sights. But Tigers are never more dangerous than when they're cornered, and the Panzer crew will be only too happy to take their enemies with them. The cat and mouse battle is fought to the finish, as the second Battlefields arc concludes with a bang.
The Battlefields series began as three self-contained mini-series of three issues each, all of which are set during WWII. The first mini-series, with artist Russell Braun, titled The Night Witches is set on the Eastern front and concerns a women-only Soviet bomber regiment. The second series, with artist Peter Snejbjerg, titled Dear Billy concerns a British nurse, who had survived rape and execution by Japanese soldiers in Singapore, and her relationship with a decorated flying ace. The third series, Tankies, with artist Carlos Ezquerra, is about an inexperienced British tank crew of Londoners in a Churchil Tank led by a Geordie veteran as they attempt to catch up with their company, enduring attacks by Nazi Tiger tanks as the Battle of Normandy rages on. (All these series are now available in trade and hardcover.) And now the war adventure continues in Battlefields #6 (of 9): The Firefly and his Majesty Part 3 in May!"!
"The last part of ‘The Firefly And His Majesty' was one I'd been looking forward to writing for a long time," says writer Garth Ennis. "It's a real cat-and-mouse story, two experienced and intelligent opponents doing their best to outwit and destroy each other. The climax, as Sergeant Stiles' Firefly comes face to face with the German King Tiger, can only be described as shattering."

Red Sonja Annual #3 hits comic shops this May!
The industry's best and brightest have all worked on Dynamite's Red Sonja. Now the writer/artist Dan Brereton is giving his take on his favorite red-headed warrior drawn by Adriano Batista in Red Sonja Annual #3, with select pages painted by Dan Brereton himself!!!!!!!!! In this special issue, Red Sonja is on her way through a mountain pass to meet a client she's been hired to guide. Sonja meets the former subjects of a fallen king said to haunt the mountains in the years since losing the war, and his life to a savage tribe of mountain trolls. When the young girl she was hired to escort off the mountain is spirited away right before her eyes, Sonja follows, dragging along the town hag. In the crags above the village, she discovers the Hall of the Lonely King, where folk have disappeared to for years, never to return again. Its here she meets the lonesome king, his spectral guard...and the flesh-eating enemies who feast on the King's kidnapped subjects.
Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword, is a high fantasy sword and sorcery heroine created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 by Marvel Comics. Red Sonja has become the archetypical example of the fantasy figure of a fierce and stunningly beautiful female barbarian who typically wears armor resembling a bikini or lingerie. The character now appears monthly in her own series, Queen Sonja, as well as a series of mini-series and one-shots from Dynamite Entertainment. So enjoy this special issue of Red Sonja Annual #3 coming this May!
"I'm thrilled to have been able to tell the story of Red Sonja and the Lonely King, a tale I've had in mind to tell for several years," says writer Dan Brereton. Since I was a snot-nose kid, Red Sonja has always been my favorite female character in comics. Something about her never fails to captivate me- it isn't the steel bikini or the flaming red hair... you just can't shake her eyes- angry, intelligent, savage and sad. I think she may even have her Cimmerian pal beat for gigantic melancholy and gigantic mirth, which is a great challenge from a writing standpoint."

New Cult Classics Series Features First-Ever T-1000!
Of all the cops in the world, he's probably the one you want to run into at the mall the least. So imagine how it must have been for young John Connor when the liquid mercury-based T-1000 started chasing him down in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Good thing he had Schwarzenegger on his side.
Our new Cult Classics: Terminator 2 series 3 boasts four figures total: two of Arnold in perhaps his most classic role as the protector T-800 and two of the villainous and more advanced T-1000 (played in the movie by Robert Patrick). Here's the rundown by the numbers:
T-800 Battle Across Time
This brand new version of the T-800 comes courtesy of the popular T2-3D movie attraction at Universal Studios theme parks. This figure is fully poseable and comes with a shotgun and plasma rifle. Articulation includes ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and swivel waist.
T-800 Steel Mill
It's the last scene of the movie and everyone's a little worse for the wear. This T-800 has been back and forth fighting the T-1000 all day, and by the time they get to the Steel Mill, it shows. Gonna need some more skin there, buddy. Figure comes with a pistol and grenade launcher, and articulation including a ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and swivel waist.
T-1000 Galleria
Have we mentioned this is the first time the T-1000 has appeared in a series? Well, here he is as he first appears in his police uniform pursuing John Connor in the shopping mall. He boasts a whopping five interchangeable hands and a pistol. Also the heads, hands, and forearms can be interchanged between this figure and the battle damaged Pescadero version to create your own unique T-1000.
T-1000 Pescadero
This battle damaged T-1000 shows the damage he endures when he first meets up with the T-800 in the Pescadero Hospital. The highly detailed figure features bullet wounds, hook arms, and two different heads, an exploded head after taking a shotgun blast, and a split head as he forms back together. Also the heads, hands, and forearms can be interchanged between this figure and the less blown-to-bits Galleria T-1000 to create your own unique version.
Cult Classics: Terminator 2 series 3 is available for preorders now. They'll be hitting shelves in May and of course will be featured on our Amazon storefront.
Keep it tuned to necaonline.com for more info on Terminator 2 and other lines from your favorite games and movies.

MARVELMAN COMES TO MARVEL! Who is the mysterious Marvelman? The answer to that question is one of the most mysterious in comics lore.

The MARVELMAN PRIMER will help readers unfamiliar with that character get up to speed on the past, present and future of Marvelman stories.

You’ve seen Deadpool in countless (and we mean countless) comics before — but never like this. Really. Want answers about Deadpool? Like why does he refuse to remove his weird red-and-black mask? Why does he only answer to the name “Deadpool?” Was he really part of a black bag special ops team that nobody has ever heard of? Were his teammates really given names like “Bulllseye,” “Silver Sable” and “Domino”? What did Wilson know, and when did he know it? A bloody massacre in Sinaloa, Mexico has left hundreds dead and disgraced soldier Wade Wilson has a LOT of explaining to do.

The Mandarin is a collection of lies, stories, myths, and legends. But two things are true: He wears, upon each finger, an alien weapon of unimaginable power…and he's going to kill Tony Stark. Is he a violent street crook born in a brothel? The scion of an aristocratic dynasty? Was his father was a petty criminal or an ambassador? Was his mother a British noblewoman, or maybe a dragon-chasing wastrel lost in the underbelly of the world? He's a murderer, a businessman, an artist, a terrorist, a hero. And this is the story of his life.

Written by GREG PAK
Penciled by ARIEL OLIVETTI, GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI, PAUL PELLETIER & BEN OLIVER
Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI
The Hulk is gone, transformed back to mild-mannered Bruce Banner — seemingly forever. But Banner knows the Hulk well enough to realize he never stays buried long. And while the rest of the world breathes a sigh of relief, Banner knows he must prepare — for the day when the monster returns. Traveling to a deserted corner of America, he finds the Hulk’s half-alien son Skaar waiting to take revenge on his father. The boy is young, angry…and powerful. But he’s not nearly a match for the Hulk. Not yet, at least. So now it’s up to Bruce Banner to train the boy. The lessons will be hard and will see Skaar stand against the greatest fighters in the Marvel Universe: Juggernaut, Wolverine, Daken and more. But there’s no room to pull punches because Norman Osborn has decided it’s time to bring back the Hulk. Has Banner trained Skaar enough to play David to Hulk’s Goliath and kill him once and for all? Collecting INCREDIBLE HULK #601-605 and DARK REIGN: THE LIST – HULK.

Crazy like a fox. From a young age, Wolverine’s life has been anything but normal, as the mutant has traveled the globe loving, losing and all along plying his most valuable trade: that of a mercilessly effective killer. But even after more than a century of this brutal life, he managed to pull his memories together and for the first time truly understand who, and what, he was. But now, that’s all lost as he finds himself locked in a padded cell in a heavily guarded insane asylum. With no memory of how he got there, or even who he is, Wolverine is at the mercy of the mysterious Dr. Rottwell and his sadistic guards. As Wolverine struggles to uncover who he is and how he came to be in a sanatorium full of psychopathic murderers, it becomes clear that Dr. Rottwell’s agenda is far from altruistic. Can Wolverine regain his senses before he falls victim to one of the doctor’s nefarious cures? Collecting WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #6-10.
