Mark Waid & John Rogers’ THRILLBENT
Comes To Print At IDW
The Next Phase Is Here
San Diego, CA (October 31, 2014) – In 2012, award-winning comics writer Mark Waid and writer/producer John Rogers launched Thrillbent, a digital comics webportal and an experiment in new-media comic-book publishing. Their mission statement: “To challenge 75 years’ worth of accepted ‘rules’ about what comics are and aren’t.” The commitment to this challenge continues as Thrillbent and IDW Publishing partner to bring these unique digital comics to print starting spring 2015.  “I
love print comics,” said Waid, whose own personal collection is
legendary. “While we have always proudly been digital-first, print was
always in Thrillbent’s business plan--but for a start-up company like
ours, it was cost-prohibitive. Once we proved our commitment to ongoing
content--Thrillbent currently hosts literally hundreds of new comics,
with more added every week--we were courted by several print publishers
looking to partner. IDW was the clear choice--its track record for
innovation is unbeatable and undeniable.”Over the past two years, Thrillbent has worked with more than 60 creators to publish nearly 20 ongoing digital-only series (and counting) that span all genres, from horror to humor to high adventure. The first series slated for print release under this partnership will be Empire Volume Two and Insufferable, both written by Waid. Empire Volume Two is a sequel to the Eisner-nominated series co-created by Waid and artist Barry Kitson from 2000, which Waid describes as “the single most-asked about project in my career--‘When’s Empire coming back?’ is the one question I know I’ll hear at every convention or store signing”. Waid and Kitson have joined forces once again in 2014 to deliver new installments that continue the saga of Golgoth, a remorseless villain whose plans for world domination have won him the planet Earth… and made him the target of every inhabitant. As a kickoff to the larger Thrillbent partnership, IDW will produce an all-new edition of the long-sold-out Empire Volume One and launch it just ahead of Empire v2. Both books will debut next spring. Also by Waid, with co-creator Peter Krause, Insufferable is a series that explores what happens when a crime fighter’s sidekick grows up to be less a hero constantly at war with his mentor--and what it would take to draw the two back together again for one last adventure. Krause, also Waid’s partner in crime on the 2007 series Irredemable, provides the artwork on this unique look at the superhero genre. “In addition to being one of the best comic-book writers in modern times, Mark Waid has also proven himself with Thrillbent to be one of the smarter forward-thinkers in comics,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. “We’re very happy to be partnered with Mark, John Rogers and all the other great Thrillbent creators to help bring their work to comic fans in this way.” Look for additional Thrillbent print release announcements by visiting www.idwpublishing.com, and by following IDW on Facebook and Twitter @IDWPublishing. |

October 30, 2014 - Los Angeles, CA - In 2015, BOOM! Studios
turns 10 years old, and to celebrate this milestone anniversary, the
award-winning publisher is excited to announce a yearlong cover strategy
starting in January designed to spotlight all of its new launches and
reward many lucky retailers and fans. Every launching issue in 2015 will
include a uniquely designed “10 Years” incentive variant cover
featuring work by one of 16 of the industry’s best cover artists. Each
artist (or artist team) will provide all the covers to all of the newest
titles coming out from BOOM! or one of its imprints (KaBOOM!, Archaia, and BOOM! Box),
with the roster rotating each quarter. The special “10 Years” covers
will be retailer incentives available to order for retailers for every
10 copies they order of the title’s main cover.
For the first quarter of 2015 (January-March), the artists are:
- All launching BOOM! Studios titles: Trevor Hairsine (Captain America, Eternal Warrior)
- All launching KaBOOM! titles: Joe Quinones (Harley Quinn, Big Trouble in Little China)
- All launching Archaia titles: Ramón Pérez (Amazing Spider-Man, Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand)
- All launching BOOM! Box titles: Shelli Paroline & Braden Lamb (Adventure Time, The Midas Flesh)
Cover artists for the remaining quarters of 2015 will be announced at a later date.
In January, new launching titles to receive the “10 Years” Cover treatment include:
- Burning Fields #1 (BOOM! Studios)
- Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift #1 (KaBOOM!)
- Feathers #1 (Archaia)
- Munchkin #1 (BOOM! Box)
The cover images will be revealed closer to each title’s order deadline.
In
addition, BOOM! will select one launching title each month and slip
one, rare exclusive cover intermixed into every 100 copies of the main
cover printed. Dubbed the Jackpot Variant,
these special covers will show up randomly at any comic shop that
orders at least one copy of the title. For January, that title is Munchkin #1, a new ongoing series from BOOM! Box based on the hit adventure card game. The Jackpot Variant cover for Munchkin #1 is illustrated by Evan Palmer (Cooking with Food).
Finally,
should any of its new titles in 2015 launch with a final combined
initial order of over 10,000 copies, BOOM! will unlock an additional
1-in-10 intermixed special variant that will ship with the main cover.
To
help mark its 10th anniversary, BOOM! will include a new “10 Years”
trade dress logo that will be featured on the covers of all its
single-issue releases in 2015.
“We’re very proud to reach our 10th anniversary here at BOOM! Studios, so to celebrate, we wanted to make sure we included the people that helped us get where we are today: comics retailers and fans,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “This yearlong program brings in some of the best artists in the industry and is designed to celebrate this milestone with all of our supporters. I can speak for our entire team when I say we’re looking forward to the next 10 years of publishing great comics!”

San Francisco, CA, October 28, 2014 – VIZ Media’s Haikasoru literary imprint publishes a gripping and strange thriller with the release of Otaro Maijo’s ASURA GIRL on November 18th.

Yoji Kaneda. Life is about to get harder for Aiko, as a recent fling,
Sano, has been kidnapped, and the serial killer Round-and-Round Devil
has begun slaughtering children. The youth are rioting in the streets,
egged on by the underground Internet bulletin board known as the Voice
from Heaven. Expecting that Yoji will come and save her from the
madness, Aiko posts a demand for her own murder on Voice of Heaven but
will she be left waiting...or worse?
“ASURA
GIRL starts with a teen girl living on the edge, and then pushes her
off the cliff into a surreal underground on conspiracy, serial murder,
apocalyptic fervor, and even love,” says Nick Mamatas, Haikasoru’s
tradebooks Editor. “Otaro Maijo combines well-observed depictions of
desperate characters with the darkest humor and suspense. ASURA GIRL,
largely set in the western suburbs of Tokyo, completely immerses the
reader in the surreal and often deadly world Aiko and her friends inhabit. Check out this exhilarating new release from Haikasoru!”
Otaro Maijo is a novelist from Fukui, where most of his stories take place. He debuted with his mystery novel, Kemuri ka tsuchi ka kuimono (Smoke, Soil, or Food), with which he won the Mephisto Prize.

"COSPLAY DREAMS 3D"
- WORLD'S FIRST 3D FILM ABOUT COSTUME PLAY -TO BE SHOWCASED IN STREAM TV'S ULTRA-D™
GLASSES-FREE 3D AT STAN LEE'S COMIKAZE EXPO
|
|
LOS ANGELES, CA (Oct. 27, 2014) -A one-hour preview event for the documentary film Cosplay Dreams 3D, examining the fascinating, highly visual world of costume play, will be held Sunday, November 2 at 12pm
at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In
addition to the film presentation, an unparalleled glasses-free 3D
experience will be offered in the Cosplay Dreams 3D booth #122
for more than 50,000 attendees of the 3-day convention (Oct. 31 - Nov.
2). Passage Productions and Drama House Productions, creators of the
documentary, have teamed up with Stream TV Networks to present
highlights of the project in
Ultra-D, which uses 4K display technology for brilliant no-glasses-required 3D.
The
exclusive preview event will showcase 25 sneak peek minutes of the film
in 3D, complete with amazing visual effects-driven "dream sequences"
and previously unseen footage, followed by an all-star panel of Cosplay
celebrities: Cosplay super-star Yaya Han (Heroes of Cosplay, SyFy), Cosplayer to the stars "Fanboy Brandon" Hillock (My Big Fat Geek Wedding, SyFy), singer/songwriter and YouTube sensation Traci Hines, Cosplay diversity activist Ginger Burton, and other stars of the film.
 Cosplay is short for costume play, a growing worldwide phenomenon in which millions of ordinary people called "Cosplayers" wear costumes to emulate and pay homage to their favorite anime, comic book, video game, TV, film and manga (Japanese comic book) characters.
"This will be the last time we'll be previewing Cosplay Dreams 3D before it makes its world premiere as the headline film for the Los Angeles 3D Film Festival
on December 6th," comments executive producer Christine Kasal
Parascandolo. "We had a massive response at our San Diego Comic-Con
panel, and it gets us so excited as filmmakers to screen our film for
such a positive and passionate audience."
The
documentary filmmakers will host and moderate the preview panel and
answer questions about their fascinating journey in making this
one-of-a-kind film. The team will also unveil a behind-the-scenes video
about the making of the original song "Wonderful Weird" performed by
indie-pop group Peter Panic and featuring Cosplay Idol Traci Hines. The song will be released at the panel event.
The film's producers are also excited to announce an alliance with Stream TV Networks, developer of the award-winning Ultra-D glasses-free 3D screen technology that will be integrated into consumer products by various brand partners in 2015.
"3D
without glasses is what people have been waiting for, and we are
thrilled that our glasses-free 3D technology will showcase this
incredible 3D movie for 50,000 fans at the Comikaze Expo," said Stream
TV CEO, Mathu Rajan. "Fans of 3D will see that the wait for an immersive
viewing experience - no glasses required - is almost over."
"When we first saw our film in Ultra-D,
it was like seeing it for the first time," exclaims the film's Director
Gulliver Parascandolo. "I've only dreamed about this kind of
technology, and looking into that Ultra-D monitor and seeing the images
come right out of the screen... it was like looking into the future! I
can only imagine how the fans at Comikaze are going to react!"
The Cosplay Dreams 3D
booth featuring the Ultra-D display will be located in the
award-winning Video Game History Museum at Comikaze, booth 122 inside
the Los Angeles Convention Center October 31 - November 2. The preview
panel will be held in Screening Room 411A on the third floor at 12PM -
November 2.
