On September 15th the X-Men are back in two brand new to DVD releases X-men: The Animated Series Volumes 3 & 4. After the success of Vol.1 and 2 last spring Buena Vista Home Entertainment has continued the series with the two spectacular volumes. Volume three contains fifteen episodes from the third and fourth seasons of the show, with volume four containing the remainder fifteen episodes of season four. We can only assume at this point that they will finish the series with a fifth volume containing the final twelve episodes.
Really every episode from this series can be considered a fan favorite but more noticeable in these collections are the four part Dark Phoenix Saga as well as the four part Beyond Good and Evil Saga. We get to see all the classic mutants at some point in this phenomenal series. Created by Larry Houston and Frank Squillace, and produced Marvel and Saban Entertainment the episodes offered in these collections are sure to please and entertain.
The audio & video quality is the same as that of the first two volumes. Episodes have been enhanced minutely but enough that it does add to anyones personal viewing enjoyment making the overall experience quiet pleasant on a high-def television. Also the further we go into the series the more you will notice a slow steady improvement on the actual animation quality.
X-Men is something for all ages. Kid and teens will love the action and adventure, while adults will appreciate the well written episodes and how some of them follow the comics, along with all the hidden adult humor. And of course, everybody will appreciate the top-quality animation created by some of the greatest animation studios of the day and everyone will love the nicely drawn characters who bear great resemblance to the X-Men of comic book artist Jim Lee. Over all these are two must have DVD sets for any X-men fan, but also will make great gifts to give to the future generations of X-men fans.
Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film in a Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def edition, a special edition 2-disc DVD, and a single disc DVD. Warner Home Video will distribute the action-packed movie, which will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download that same day.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed McGuinness comic series/graphic novel. Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Michael Goguen (Justice League: The New Frontier) is supervising producer. Sam Liu (The Batman) is directing a script written by Stan Berkowitz (Justice League: The New Frontier).
In the film, United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his “partner in crime,” Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite – and recruit help – to stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s devious plot to take command of far more than North America.
"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" features a star-studded voice cast filling the roles of super heroes and villains alike, including Kevin Conroy (Batman), Tim Daly (Superman), Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor), Allison Mack (Power Girl), Xander Berkeley (Captain Atom), Ricardo Chavira (Major Force), John C. McGinley (Metallo), LeVar Burton (Black Lightning), CCH Pounder (Amanda Waller) and a host of others.
Devil's Due Publishing to Deliver Digital Comic Books Through comiXology for iPhone
Devil's Due Publishing and comiXology announce that comiXology will be distributing Devil's Due comic book titles to the iPhone and iPod touch. Comic books published by Devil's Due include the continuation of the TV show Jericho, plus popular titles like Hack/Slash, Voltron, and Spartacus: Blood and Sand, based on the upcoming Starz TV show Spartacus: Blood and Sand. The soon to be released Merch Girl will also include exclusive music by co-creator, rapper MURS.
"We're excited that Devil's Due has chosen comiXology to be its digital comics partner," said David Steinberger, CEO of comiXology. "Fans of Jericho reach far beyond the local comic store, and that property, along with Voltron and Spartacus make great introductions to comics. They'll look great in our Guided View on the iPhone."
The Guided View feature of Comics by comiXology keeps the entire page of a comic intact, unlike other solutions where the page is cut into individual pictures the user browses like a photo application. The app's retailer locator will enable customers to contact local retailers from within the app itself to order the print edition of Devil's Due Publishing's comics.
"I'm very excited to be able to offer the massive library of Devil's Due titles through comiXology's online store," said Josh Blaylock, President of Devil's Due Publishing. "Comics on the iPhone are allowing us to reach millions of potential customers who have never set foot in a comic book store, and it's instantaneous. It's really going to expand the comic reading audience."
The Comics by comiXology App is available, including over 30 free comics, for $0.99 from the App Store (http://itunes.com/apps/Comics). Information on Devil's Due Publishing comic books can be found at www.devilsdue.net.
Dan Fraga is an American comic book writer and artist. He was hired by Image comics in 1991 and worked on many titles for the company.
Dan has has worked on many of comics other top books including Spider-man, Wolverine, Superman and The X-men franchise.
In 2003 Dan left the comics business to pursue his interests in other storytelling media. His credits include working on the movies Transporter 2, Fantastic Four 2, One missed Call and Dragonball, with more on the way. Dan currently spends the majority of his time working as a visual consultant and 2nd unit director for music videos and commercials. Career highlights include designing sets and storyboards for artist such as Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Usher, Gwen Stefani,Jamiroquai, and T.I.
Expect to see more comics work from Dan in 2010 with two new creator owned titles from Image comics.
Dan currently resides in the Los Angeles area.
He agreed to answer 5 Quick Questions:
1) What would you say is your greatest achievement in comics?
My greatest accomplishment in comics? I'd have to say being hired by Image comics in 1991. I had just graduated high school, with dreams of drawing comics. I was hired only a few months after that. I was so very lucky to have been at the right place at the right time. Image comics was being formed during those months and it was my fortune to experience it as it was happening. I am very grateful for those experiences.
As with any artist, I still strive to do great work and always work towards being better at what I do. I plan on returning to comics next year with two creator owned projects. It's been over 7 years since I've been on the comics rack. I'm not sure people will even remember who I am. I've been busy learning a lot of storytelling techniques while working in film and TV. I hope to bring that knowledge with me, and apply it to my next comics projects. Perhaps a few years from now, my answer to your question will be about these books.
2) Who was your favorite writer or artist that you worked with & why?
Beau Smith. We did a series called Berzerkers back in '96. I enjoyed working with Beau because of his ideas and his spirit in which he conveyed them. Beau loves what he does and it's obvious when you work with him. That kind of energy is what I look for in a collaborator.
3) What character you have never worked .., would you like to do & why?
Batman. My favorite Batman is Frank Miller's Dark Knight version. That's the kind of Batman world and criteria that I want to play with. I want to know more stories that take place in that reality. I'd like to write and draw some of those.
4) Who are your influences?
I'm going to break it down into two categories: 1991-2003 and 2004-present.
1991-2003: Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, Art Adams, Jack Kirby.
2004-Present: Michael Golden, Eric Canete, Sean Gordon Murphy, Zaffino,Topi, Chaplin, Quincy Jones, Walt Stanchfield.. Many turn of the century cartoonists.. Johnny Gruelle, Arnold Roth, Joost Swarte, Windsor McCay, Russell Patterson… on and on..lol!
5) What hero or villain would you like to change if you could and why?
Robin / Nightwing. Because I know what it's like….
Connor and Murphy McManus are coming for you, and they brought their pennies.
The story of vigilante/religous nutball brothers who take to the mean streets of Boston on a brutal and murderous quest to rid the city of organized crime, Boondock Saints has become one of the true cult classics of the 21st Century. Developing a word-of-mouth DVD audience after a limited theatrical release in 1999, it has defied time, logic and criticism to attain the status of a true phenomenon. Don't worry, there's a sequel in the works.
And just in time for the 10th anniversary of the movie's original release, NECA is psyched beyond belief to unveil our new 7" scale Connor and Murphy, seen here in a movie-accurate pose ready to take a bite out of crime, execution-style. Each highly-detailed figure comes with a pistol and interchangeable head and plenty of pious justice to unleash on the gang underworld!
Connor McManus and Murphy McManus hit stores in November, and of course they'll also be available online at our Amazon storefront.
Keep it tuned to necaonline.com for more info on Boondock Saints and other lines from your favorite games and movies.
Cult Comedy Records Its Highest Audience Figures On BBC3 and Receives Emmy Nomination
Family Guy, the animated cult comedy TV series delivers it’s biggest ever audience to date of an outstanding 1.2 million viewers on BBC31. A top performer in its time slot Peter Griffin and his unusual family continue to attract legions of fans and have also attracted industry recognition and endorsement, with an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Comedy Series category - the first time a cartoon series has been up for this award since The Flintstones in 1961.
Targeting the core demographic of teen boys and adult males, the Family Guy licensing programme is keeping pace with the show’s growing popularity by extending the product offering into new categories, while existing licensees in apparel, footwear and bedding continue to gain strong support at retail.
Amongst various licensing deals, Bravado’s teen boy-adult male clothing is a high selling apparel line in entertainment and independent retailers. Evil Monkey and Stewie Evil T-shirt are ranked in the top selling designs. Thrilled with the performance of their Family Guy range, Bravado will launch two new T shirt designs - Trust and Anarchy - this month. Both T-shirts have already generated significant opening orders with entertainment retail accounts.
Further listings in the apparel category have been secured by TDP for nightwear in Tesco, in store in September this year. Brand International’s Stewie novelty slipper, is also being restocked by Play.com after its sell-out performance over Xmas 2008.
The Family Guy bedding range from Character World is now supported at retail from Argos and Express Gifts to Amazon and Play.com.
Underground Toys will soon be distributing The Promotions Factory’s highly collectible range of Family Guy figurines which feature the classic family members Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie and Brian Griffin, plus characters Death and Quagmire. Later this year the new refreshed versions of the bestselling Family Guy In Your Pocket voice key chains will be available.
New partners to the Family Guy licensing programme include the UK’s leading annuals publisher, Pedigree Books. Designed as a gift purchase and stocking filler for the Christmas market, the Family Guy annual will be available across all Asda stores, as well as Borders and HMV.
Posh Paws has recently been signed as the new gift partner for Family Guy developing a range of barware, mugs and novelty gift items for launch in 2010.
The Family Guy franchise will be boosted further with the release of Season 8 on DVD in November this year.
“Family Guy continues to grow its fan base and attract industry acclaim through its smart and explosively hilarious brand of comedy,” commented Carl Lumbard, SVP and MD Twentieth Century Fox L&M. “Our licensing partners continue to create aspirational products that distil the show’s comedic qualities and convert its performance on the small screen into retail listings and sales.”Read more...Read More
Twentieth Century Fox L&M Europe has signed an international deal with UK licensee, One2One Collectibles, to produce a range of high quality resin figurines based on the characters and storylines across the Halo® franchise.
One2One’s diverse range of collectible products will target the collectible nature of Halo’s core demographic of teen boys and adult males, enabling fans to extend their experience of the Halo universe.
“We plan to bring to the market a new range of products not seen before with unique features,” commented One2One MD, Darren Martin “A complete range of Statues, Busts, Dioramas, Vehicles & Weapon Replicas are already in development which will reflect the quality, look and feel associated with the Halo brand,” he continued.
Microsoft’s Halo franchise is one of the most successful entertainment properties of all-time and continuing to grow with each new title release. The latest game released this spring – Halo Wars – quickly became the best selling real-time strategy game on this generation of consoles, with more than one million units sold worldwide. Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox Licensing), licensing agent for Microsoft Corp., is capitalizing on this success with a focused global merchandising program across a variety of key categories. This Autumn will see the launch of Halo 3: ODST and with it more and more fan interest.Read more...Read More
John Layman and Rob Guillory's CHEW sees a complete distrubtion level sell out on entire series in less than a week!
CHEW, the all-new crime series with a cannibalistic twist by writer John Layman and illustrator Rob Guillory, experienced yet another sell out on all issues despite the largest overprint on the series yet. More reprints are on the way, though: The second and third issues will each return for one final, "Last Bite" edition.
"I'm extremely thankful to all the fans and retailers, but I can't say I ever saw this coming," Layman said. "Even though we up the print run considerably every time we do a reprint, we just keep selling out in no time flat. That kind of support for such an odd book is hard to come by. Rob and I highly appreciate the overwhelming enthusiasm."
CHEW's star, Detective Tony Chu, is a cop with a secret. As a Cibopath, Detective Chu gets a psychic impression from whatever he eats. While it means he's a hell of a Detective if he can stomach the evidence, once his secret gets out the government makes plans for him, whether he likes it or not. CHEW blends horror, mystery and the strangest ability of them all in an ongoing series of horrific crimes solved in the most horrific way possible. With the sell outs continuing on a regular basis, Image will be once again increasing each printing’s quantities in hopes of keeping them available. The third printing of issue two and second printing of issue three will mark the final time these issues will be reprinted in the monthly comics format.
CHEW #2-4, all 32-page full color comic books for $2.99, will be available in-stores on October 7th, 2009. CHEW #5, also a 32-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores October 21, 2009.

Diane Nelson to Serve as President, DC Entertainment
Paul Levitz to Segue from President & Publisher of DC Comics To Writer, Contributing Editor and Overall Consultant to DC Entertainment
Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (WBEI) has created DC Entertainment Inc., a new company founded to fully realize the power and value of the DC Comics brand and characters across all media and platforms, to be run by Diane Nelson, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, and Alan Horn, President & COO, Warner Bros.
DC Entertainment, a separate division of WBEI, will be charged with strategically integrating the DC Comics business, brand and characters deeply into Warner Bros. Entertainment and all its content and distribution businesses. DC Entertainment, which will work with each of the Warner Bros. divisions, will also tap into the tremendous expertise the Studio has in building and sustaining franchises and prioritize DC properties as key titles and growth drivers across all of the Studio, including feature films, television, interactive entertainment, direct-to-consumer platforms and consumer products. The DC Comics publishing business will remain the cornerstone of DC Entertainment, releasing approximately 90 comic books through its various imprints and 30 graphic novels a month and continuing to build on its creative leadership in the comic book industry. In her new role, Nelson will report to Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, in order to best capitalize on DC Entertainment’s theatrical development and production activities and their importance to drive its overall business with each of the divisions of Warner Bros.
Nelson will bring her expertise and more than 20 years’ experience in creative brand management, strategic marketing and content development and production to ensuring DC Entertainment’s dual mission of marshalling Warner Bros.’ resources to maximize the potential of the DC brand while remaining respectful of and collaborative with creators, talent, fans and source material. Additionally, Nelson will continue to oversee the franchise management of the Harry Potter property, which she has done since 2000, and also continue to represent the Studio’s interests with the author of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling. Nelson will segue from her post as President, Warner Premiere but maintain oversight responsibilities of that division. (An executive succession plan for Warner Premiere will be announced shortly.)
Paul Levitz, who has served as President & Publisher of DC Comics since 2002, will segue from that role to return to his roots as a writer for DC and become a contributing editor and overall consultant to DCE. This transition will take place as expeditiously as possible without disrupting DC’s business operations.
In his new role, Levitz will be called upon for his deep knowledge and more than three-decade history with DC Comics, both as a comic creator and an executive. Besides serving as a writer on a number of DC Comics titles, he will be a contributing editor and consultant to DC Entertainment on projects in various media. Additionally, he will consult as needed on the transition and integration of the DC Comics organization into DC Entertainment and will utilize his unique experience, knowledge and relationships with the comics industry’s creative community to help achieve DC Entertainment’s goal of maximizing the value of DC properties. Further, Levitz will advise DC Entertainment on creative and rights-holder relationships, in particular regarding the legacy relationships that have been a part of DC Comics for decades.
Widely recognized and respected for his support of writers, artists and creators in the comics industry, Levitz is best known creatively for his work with DC Comics, having written most of the classic DC characters, including Batman, Wonder Woman and the Superman newspaper strip. At Comicon International in 2008, Levitz was awarded the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award as part of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, the only industry executive ever so honored.
“DC Comics and its super hero characters are truly touchstones of popular culture, and the formation of DC Entertainment is a major step in our company’s efforts to realize the full potential of this incredible wellspring of creative properties,” said Meyer. “Diane knows our studio as a creative executive, a marketer and a senior manager, and this varied background will help her effectively and creatively integrate the DC brand and properties across all our businesses. We’re also thrilled that Paul will remain involved with DC and we’ll be able to tap his expertise to help us reach our goals for this new business.”
“It’s no secret that DC has myriad rich and untapped possibilities from its deep library of iconic and lesser-known characters,” said Horn. “While we’ve had great success in films and television, the formation of DC Entertainment will help us to bring more DC properties across additional platforms to fans around the world, while maintaining brand integrity and authenticity. Diane is a terrific choice to lead DC Entertainment, and with Paul in his new role as a valued consultant and contributing editor, both our company and comic fans win.”
“Based on the great success we’ve had working with DC Comics to create some of the most popular and successful super hero films of all time, I’ve long believed that there was much more we could do across all of Warner Bros.’ businesses with this great body of characters and stories,” said Robinov. “The prioritization of DC and the creation of DC Entertainment is a great opportunity that reaches far beyond the film group. There are endless creative possibilities to build upon the many significant successes already achieved by my colleagues Kevin Tsujihara and the Home Entertainment Group in the videogame, home video and direct-to-platform arenas and Bruce Rosenblum and the Television Group in live-action, animated and digital series. Collectively, we have the ability to grow a body of properties highlighting the iconic characters and the diversity of the creative output of DC Comics.”
“The founding of DC Entertainment fully recognizes our desire to provide both the DC properties and fans the type of content that is only possible through a concerted cross-company, multi-platform effort,” said Nelson. “DC Entertainment will help us to formally take the great working relationships between DC Comics and various Warner Bros. businesses to the next level in order to maximize every opportunity to bring DC’s unrivalled collection of titles and characters to life.”
“After so many roles at DC, it’s exciting to look forward to focusing on my writing and being able to remain a part of the company I love as it grows into its next stage,” said Levitz. “It’s a new golden age for comics and DC’s great characters, and I hope my new position will allow me to contribute to that magic time.”
DC Comics will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2010 (NEW FUN COMICS #1, the first DC comic, began publishing in 1935), at which time more explicit details regarding DC Entertainment’s corporate and management structure, film and content release slate, creative roster and business objectives will be unveiled at a multi-faceted anniversary celebration and press conference in the first quarter of the year.

Prior to being named President, DC Entertainment, Nelson most recently served as President, Warner Premiere since its founding in 2006. Warner Premiere is a Studio-based production company which develops and produces high-quality, direct-to-DVD and short-form digital content, including the highly successful line of DC Universe animated DVD titles, and also pioneered the development of the motion comics category. Under Nelson’s leadership, Warner Premiere functions as a full-service production entity with its own resources and release schedule, furthering the Studio’s mandate of being a destination for both established and up-and-coming talent to create stand-alone properties as well as experiment in new media.
Before that, Nelson served as Executive Vice President, Global Brand Management, Warner Bros. Entertainment, with the primary responsibility of working cross-divisionally and throughout Time Warner to maximize and optimize all the various windows and outlets available to the Studio’s signature franchises, brands and event properties on a global basis. In this post, Nelson’s primary focus was the management of the Harry Potter brand, which she has overseen since the brand’s launch at the Studio in 1999. These efforts have helped drive the success of the brand to become the most successful film franchise of all time, as well as a respected consumer property that has generated billions of dollars for the Studio.
At Global Brand Management, Nelson and her team of more than 15 employees worked in all media and platforms to support a number of other key franchise properties, including “The Matrix Reloaded,” “The Matrix Revolutions,” “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight,” “Happy Feet,” “Polar Express” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” among others.
Prior to overseeing Global Brand Management, Nelson had served as Executive Vice President, Domestic Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures. Nelson rose quickly through the ranks, having also served as Senior Vice President, Domestic Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures and prior to that, Senior Vice President, Family Entertainment, Warner Bros. Corporate Worldwide Marketing and Planning. She was also Vice President, Worldwide Corporate Promotions, a post to which she was promoted in March 1998, after joining the Studio in September 1996 as Director of Worldwide Corporate Promotions.
Nelson came to the Studio from Walt Disney Records, where she served as Director of National Promotions. She is a graduate of Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Communications.Read more...Read More

Birthday Bash for World Renowned Dog Behaviorist and Famous Pup Also Celebrates the World Premiere Movie Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins airing on Cartoon Network and September 22 release on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack
Cartoon Network Makes Donation to Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation
40,000 Snausages® Scooby Snacks for Dogs Donated for Duo’s Birthday Celebration
Zoinks! Cesar Millan and Scooby-Doo have turned 40! The world renowned dog behavior specialist and beloved iconic cartoon character celebrated turning 40 together at their very own birthday bash today at the East Valley Animal Shelter in Van Nuys, Calif. Also sharing in the festivities were some of Cesar and Scooby’s favorite dogs available for adoption at the shelter, Los Angeles Councilman Tony Cardenas, children from Van Nuys Recreation Center’s “Off-Track Enrichment program” and the cast of the upcoming movie Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, a co-production of Warner Premiere and Cartoon Network.
The film premieres on Cartoon Network on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT, and Warner Home Video will release the film on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
In honor of Cesar Millan and Scooby-Doo’s 40th birthday, Cartoon Network presented a donation of $10,000 to the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation, supporting the foundation’s efforts to increase the number of dog adoptions each day. Currently, there are millions of dogs available from adoption shelters and rescue organizations across the nation hoping for a second chance and a permanent, new home.
The cast of the film – Robbie Amell (Fred), Kate Melton (Daphne), Hayley Kiyoko (Velma) and Nick Palatas (Shaggy) – and Scooby Doo! The Mystery Begins producer Brian Gilbert also joined the festivities to help celebrate the birthdays.
“I'm so happy to be celebrating my 40th birthday with an icon like Scooby-Doo. And I’m thrilled to use this celebratory moment to promote the importance of giving dogs a second chance and adopting them from local shelters or rescue groups,” said Cesar Millan. “Many thanks to Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Consumer Products for contributing to the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation and for supporting our continued efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home shelter dogs.”
“When we discovered that both Cesar and Scooby were reaching this exciting milestone around the same time, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring the two of them together for a celebration that would not only be fun, but also honor the great work of the Cesar and Illusion Millan Foundation,” said Stuart Snyder, President and COO, Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media.
“Scooby-Doo and Cesar Millan have played vital roles in helping kids relate to animals in a compassionate, empathetic way. I am proud they have chosen to celebrate their birthdays right here in one of the city’s animal care centers and are talking to our kids about pet responsibility,” said Councilman Tony Cardenas.
More than 40,000 Snausages® Scooby Snacks were also donated in celebration of the world’s favorite Great Dane’s birthday bash. With four flavors in each box - cheese, beef, chicken and pizza flavored – the crunchy Scooby Snacks are beloved by dogs everywhere. In addition, Warner Bros. Consumer Products’ licensees contributed an array of products for today’s festivities, including Thermos lunch kits, Ty Scooby Beanies, Scooby fruit snacks and baked graham crackers.
Dog behavior specialist Cesar Millan is best known for his hit television series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan on National Geographic Channel. The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation promotes the adoption of abused and abandoned dogs at shelters and rescue organizations. The foundation also provides direct funding for spaying and neutering programs and the humane education of children of all ages. For more information, visit MillanFoundation.org.
On Sept. 13, Scooby-Doo will not only celebrate his 40th year on television, but also the world premiere of the new live-action movie Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins on Cartoon Network. For the first time ever, the never-before-told origin story of the Mystery Inc. gang will be revealed in the two-hour movie premiering on Sunday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. (ET, PT). Warner Home Video will also release Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
ELEPHANTMEN #21 comes to participating retailers this week with a very special overship!
This Thursday, the acclaimed sci-fi series, ELEPHANTMEN, will give readers a chance to jump on board as participating stores receive a special 25% overship.
"I'm so glad we're overshipping this particular issue, because I want it to get into as many people's hands as possible," Starkings said. "We've sold out of EVERY issue since #16 – the Marian Churchland issues were a huge hit – and our numbers have been holding very steady since we returned to our regular monthly schedule with our series of standalone stories, DANGEROUS LIAISONS. I envision ten hefty ELEPHANTMEN collections by the time we're done, so readers have a lot to look forward to."
ELEPHANTMEN #21 is an action-packed, pulls-no-punches story with Totally Kick Ass artwork by regular cover artist Boo Cook, and acts as a direct sequel to the series' first issue as it picks up on the stories of Elephantman Ebony Hide and his human friend, Savannah. This issue also sows the seeds for the next big storyline, QUESTIONABLE THINGS. Image's overship will ensure participating stores have the chance to bring new readers onboard along with the fans of the collections looking for an entry point to the ongoing series!
Starkings added, "In addition, original series artist Moritat returns with issue #23 as Hip Flask and Ebony are forced to deal with a MAPPO sleeper cell which seeks to reactivate the Elephantmen as the weapons of mass destruction they intended them to be! We also have knockout covers by J Scott Campbell and Steve Skroce, and a couple other big surprises in the months to come. Watch this space!"
ELEPHANTMEN #21 (JUL090393), a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in-stores September 10th, 2009. For more information, please see http://www.hipflask.com/issues/elephantmen21/.

Sold Out Debut Issue Available at No Cost Through Comics by comiXology Application
Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that the first issue of The Darkness/Pitt, which has sold out at the distributor level, would be made available for free on comiXology’s Comic store/library/reader application for the iPhone beginning this Wednesday, September 9th. The issue will also be available in its entirety on comiXology.com.
Paul Jenkins (Captain America: Theater of War) and Pitt creator Dale Keown (Berserker) have reunited for the first time since their much-lauded run on The Darkness in 2002 in The Darkness/Pitt. The series also marks the first Pitt series in a decade and creator Keown’s return to the character he is best known for. In the three issue limited series, Jackie Estacado, mafia hitman and current bearer of The Darkness, encounters an alien infection which turns normal people into monstrous zombie like beings. Meanwhile, Pitt, an alien/human hybrid warrior, and his teen half-brother Tim arrive in New York tracking down this same problem. The highly anticipated crossover series has been over five years in the making and was held back from release by Top Cow Productions until all principal work on the series had been completed.
“We're thrilled to be a part of Top Cow's strategy to get more exposure for The Darkness/Pitt. The long-awaited return of Pitt deserves great exposure to a wide audience, and our patent-pending Guided View really shines with the material,” explained comiXology President David Steinberger, “Many thousands of people now have the opportunity to read the first issue and use Comics by comiXology's unique in-app connection to retailers to pre-order the next issue.”
“Top Cow has been talking with comiXology for some time about an opportunity to explore their terrific iPhone app and introduce some Top Cow properties to the world of mobile comics and this seemed like the perfect opportunity,” added Top Cow Publisher Filip Sablik, “Not only do we put our best foot forward, but hopefully we can drive some additional sales to direct market retailers for issue #2 and #3.”
The Darkness/Pitt #2 is scheduled to be in stores on September 23rd and readers will be able to contact their local comic shop through the Comics by comiXology application. Customers can pre-order issue #2 with the following Diamond order codes:
