DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT AND GROUPEES UNITE FOR ALL-NEW
"DYNAMITE FANTASY FEATURING A GAME OF THRONES"
DIGITAL COMICS BUNDLE

OVER 30 DIGITAL COMICS TO READ AND ENJOY!

April 21, 2016, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce that Groupees LLC, a unique media and charity bundling site, will host the all-new "Dynamite Fantasy Featuring A Game of Thrones" comic book bundle promotion, allowing fans and curious newcomers to purchase over 30 digital Dynamite comics with "Pay What You Want" purchasing power. A portion of proceeds will be contributed to one of the industry's most important charitable organizations, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The bundle promotion begins today, Thursday, April 21st, and runs through Wednesday, May 4th. The promotion is at the following website location: https://groupees.com/gameofthrones.

Through the Groupees program, customers can purchase a bundle of digital comic book and graphic novels for a price they decide, with a minimum contribution of $5.00. The full retail value of this bundle's digital content -- including work from such fan-favorite fantasy creators as George R.R. Martin (A Game of Thrones), Sam Raimi (Army of Darkness), Marguerite Bennett (Red Sonja), Ron Marz (John Carter: Warlord of Mars), and more -- would be over $65.00 if purchased individually, but the Groupees "Pay What You Want" model allows Swords-and-Sorcery enthusiasts to pick up high-quality stories for a fraction of that price.

The "Dynamite Fantasy Featuring A Game of Thrones" bundle includes the following digital comic books:

• Adventures of Red Sonja #1-7, by Bruce Jones, Roy Thomas, Neal Adams, Esteban Maroto, Dick Giordano, and Frank Thorne
• Army of Darkness: The Movie Adaptation #1-3, by Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi, and John Bolton

"Groupees has been an exceptional partner since our first-ever bundle offering in March of last year, and the fine folks here at Dynamite are proud to continue bringing first-class digital entertainment to the Groupees customer base through their innovative bundle program," says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment. "The new 'Dynamite Fantasy Featuring A Game of Thrones' bundle is loaded to bear with fantasy fare -- swashbuckling She-Devils, House Stark warriors, blood-bathing witches, Green Men of Mars, roleplaying game icons, and so much more. With Groupees' $5.00-minimum, 'Pay What You Want' model, hours and hours' worth of Swords-and-Sorcery enjoyment can be had by all, for a value price. This is a phenomenal bundle that will reward existing fans and introduce them to new series, as well as bring new fans into the comics market - a win/win for all!"

"We love working with Dynamite and offering their great comic reads to our users," says Thomas Brooke, CEO of Groupees. "Dynamite understands what these promotions are all about, engaging with the community, generating goodwill, and expanding the universe of comic fandom. As with our four previous promotions, this IS another 'dynamite' bundle of digital comics, and we're proud to be offering this exclusive promotion in support of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund."

Part of the proceeds from the "Dynamite Fantasy Featuring A Game of Thrones" bundle will contribute to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of the First Amendment rights of the comics art form and its community of retailers, creators, publishers, librarians, and readers.

Fans and curious newcomers are encouraged to visit the Groupees website beginning today to take advantage of the "Dynamite Fantasy Featuring A Game of Thrones" bundle, specifically at the web address https://groupees.com/gameofthrones.

BLACK JACK KETCHUM RIDES INTO PAPERBACK
"It is righteous good, man. Schirmer has serious chops. Definitely pick this up!!"
—Greg Rucka

From the creative team of writer Brian Schirmer and artist Claudia Balboni comes the weird western tale of BLACK JACK KETCHUM, collecting issues #1-4 in trade paperback this June.

In a dreamlike version of the Old West, Tom Ketchum struggles to clear his name—and stay alive—when he’s mistaken for wanton outlaw “Black Jack” Ketchum. With the aid of his talking sidearm, a secretive gambler, and a mute girl with a Winchester, Tom evades the mysterious Union and its supernatural enforcers, the faceless Dusters.

BLACK JACK KETCHUM TP (ISBN 9781632157034) hits comic book stores on Wednesday, June 8 and bookstores on Tuesday, June 14, and will be available for $14.99. It can be ordered by retailers through Diamond Book Distributors with the Diamond Code MAR160615. It can be preordered now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.

Praise for BLACK JACK KETCHUM:

“Black Jack Ketchum is an exciting spin on the Weird Western, an explosion of iconography from a major new talent!”—Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Wolverine)

“It’s the Weird Western turned Lynchian.”—Kieron Gillen (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE)

"9 out of 10. A completely unexpected and wholly welcome addition to a revived genre, and like East of West, it opens a doorway to the weird through the shopfront of the familiar."—Newsarama

“An odd but compelling read, Black Jack Ketchum presents a supernatural mystery in the last wild place of the American frontier; a place where anything can happen and it does.”—Fangoria

“A mind-bending supernatural thriller.”—Big Comic Page

“Black Jack Ketchum is a gun-toting whirlwind, a ‘wilder’ west if you will. I’m excited to see where it goes.”—Jim Zub (WAYWARD, Samurai Jack)

"If David Lynch did a Western, it might be a lot like Black Jack Ketchum."—Newsarama

NEWS FROM CRACKLE’S 2016 UPFRONT PRESENTATION:

New York, April 20 – At Crackle’s upfront presentation held in New York today, Sony’s streaming service announced the network’s program, advertising and virtual reality offerings. Crackle General Manager and EVP, Sony Pictures Television Digital Networks, Eric Berger said: “At Crackle, we believe that creating content and ad experiences that mirror changing consumer habits are instrumental for driving viewer attention. We’re charting a path for television with a sustainable ad model that is a win for the advertiser, the network and most importantly, the consumer.”

CRACKLE ANNOUNCES BREAK-FREE ADVERTISING; INFINITI FIRST ON BOARD FOR SOPHOMORE SEASON OF ‘THE ART OF MORE’

Sony’s streaming network announced an advertising solution for bingeing original series that replaces convention called, “break-free advertising.” Instead of 300 ads over the course of a linear TV series, during a Crackle Original with 10 episodes, the viewer will only get five ads per episode. The same five advertisers will have a spot in each of the 10 episodes—and those advertisers will be able to tell a story across multiple episodes with only four other advertisers to capture the viewer’s attention. In addition, Crackle will SUPERSIZE the commercial by packaging it with a story-arc of unique content that will be threaded together across all 10 episodes. Story-arcs could be creative narratives about the show’s setting, special insights about the Characters from the creators or a look behind the curtain at production – all designed to grab the viewer’s attention and tied to the brand’s valuable ad.

CRACKLE UNVEILS SEVEN MULTIPLEX CHANNELS

A series of new “multiplex channels” launched on Crackle today as part of their “Always On” platform. The free, ad-supported network unveiled seven distinct destinations reflecting the genres that appeal most to the Crackle audience. Spanning categories including Comedy, Action, Drama, Thriller, Sports, Fandom and Anime, the streaming networks critically-acclaimed, original content will anchor the channels and after a channel is selected, programming is played just like on linear television.

FIRST LOOK TEASER TRAILER RELEASED FOR NEW ORIGINAL SCRIPTED DRAMA SERIES, ‘STARTUP,’ TO DEBUT THIS FALL STARRING MARTIN FREEMAN, ADAM BRODY, EDI GATHEGI AND OTMARA MARRERO; NEW CASTMEMBERS ANNOUNCED TODAY INCLUDE WAYNE KNIGHT (‘SEINFELD’) AND AARON YOO (21, ‘THE BLACKLIST’)

https://youtu.be/M_XSewKQQa0

The 10-episode, one-hour original drama series explores what happens when a brilliant, yet controversial tech idea gets incubated on the wrong side of the tracks by three strangers who don’t necessarily fit the mold of “tech entrepreneurs.” Set amongst the unconstrained, yet opportunist streets of Miami, “StartUp” weaves a complex and exciting narrative, featuring the high-stakes struggle of what one will do to reach ultimate success. Forced to fund a tech company with dirty money from unsuspecting places while forming ties with a dangerous, Haitian gang, the fight to build a business pales in comparison to the fight to stay alive, especially when there’s a vehement FBI agent who wields the power to make or break those he comes in contact with—and not always for the right reasons.

Additional cast announced today include Wayne Knight ("Seinfeld”) who plays Benedict Blush, a wildly successful entrepreneur with blue collar sensibilities; and Aaron Yoo (21, “Blacklist”) who plays Alex Bell, a premiere tech venture capitalist that everyone wants in their corner.

“StartUp” is produced by Critical Content and Hollywood Gang Productions. Tom Forman, Andrew Marcus, Ray Ricord, Gianni Nunnari and Shannon Gaulding all serve as executive producers. The series is written by Ben Ketai (“Chosen,” THE FOREST) who also serves as executive producer and director. Adam Brody and Anne Clements (“Cleaners”) serve as producers.

‘THE ART OF MORE,’ KICKS OFF PRODUCTION IN MONTREAL ON MAY 2; SERIES STARS DENNIS QUAID, CHRISTIAN COOKE AND KATE BOSWORTH TAKE THE UPFRONT STAGE TO TALK ABOUT SOPHOMORE SEASON

The 10-episode, one-hour original drama series, premiered last November to praise from critics at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Deadline and Entertainment Weekly. Harper’s Bazaar called it, “the “#1 Best New Fall TV Show.” The auction house drama returns in Q4 this year for another 10-episode season of twists and complex stories set in the glamorous and surprisingly cutthroat world of premium auction houses in New York City.

“The Art of More” is created by Chuck Rose, who with Gardner Stern (“NYPD Blue,” “Law and Order”), is writer and executive producer. Dennis Quaid, Laurence Mark (JERRY MAGUIRE, DREAMGIRLS), Gary Fleder (RUNAWAY JURY, “The Shield”) and Tamara Chestna, also serve as executive producers. Brendan Kelly (“Weeds”) joins season two as executive producer and writer.

JERRY SEINFELD ANNOUNCES THE LAUGH OUT LOUD LINE-UP FOR NEW SEASON OF ‘COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE;’ SERIES PREMIERES JUNE 15^th

The eighth season of the Emmy® nominated series comprised of six episodes premieres on Wednesday, June 15^th with a new episode streaming every Wednesday night at 11:30 PM EST. Sponsored by Acura, the series is executive produced by Jerry Seinfeld and Embassy Row.

CRACKLE ANNOUNCES NEW ORIGINAL DRAMA SERIES, ‘SNATCH,’ BASED ON THE WORLD OF THE POPULAR GUY RITCHIE MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME

New 10-episode, one-hour drama series based on the world of the wildly popular Guy Ritchie movie, SNATCH. Much like the television series, ‘Fargo,’ Crackle will carry the spirit of the setting in the original feature film, while creating a new world born from the original movie. Informed by a real life gold bullion heist in London, the show centers on a group of twenty-something, up and coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of organized crime. The boys must quickly learn to navigate the treacherous waters of London’s underworld as rogue cops, gypsy fighters, international mobsters and local villains descend.

‘SUPERMANSION’ RETURNS WITH NEW SEASON IN EARLY 2017 WITH BRYAN CRANSTON, SETH GREEN, KEEGAN MICHAEL-KEY, JILLIAN BELL AND MORE

The second season of “SuperMansion,” the stop motion-animated comedy series from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, follows the adventures of Titanium Rex (voiced by Cranston, who’s also the series’ executive producer) as he struggles to live with and fight alongside the Millennial-aged, often lackadaisical members of The League of Freedom.

“SuperMansion” is directed by Zeb Wells (“Robot Chicken”), who also acts as writer and executive producer alongside “Robot Chicken” colleague Matthew Senreich. Bryan Cranston, Seth Green, John Harvatine, Eric Towner, James Degus and Moon Shot Entertainment join as executive producers with production by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.

‘DEAD RISING’ FEATURE FILM SEQUEL, ‘DEAD RISING: ENDGAME’ TO PREMIERE ON JUNE 20^th

Based on the hugely popular Dead Rising video game franchise by Capcom, which has sold over 9.1 million copies worldwide, DEAD RISING: ENDGAME drops us into the zombie-infested quarantined zone of East Mission City where investigative reporter Chase Carter must stop a secret government conspiracy which, though seemingly aimed at ending the country’s zombie epidemic, will also kill millions of innocent civilians. Jesse Metcalfe (“Desperate Housewives,” “Dallas”) returns to DEAD RISING: ENDGAME as Chase Carter, the well-known television journalist who goes back underground to stop the military’s rogue operation and break the ultimate story. Keegan Connor Tracy (“Once Upon a Time,” “Bates Motel”) returns as camera operator and producer, Jordan Blair.  Attempting to thwart their plans is Dennis Haysbert (“24,” “SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR,” “WRECK-IT RALPH”) reprising his role as General Lyons, a crooked Military Intelligence Officer.  Patrick Sabongui (“The Art of More”) returns in a new role, playing a skilled zombie killer and video game aficionado who talks a big and crude game to mask his gentle side. 

DEAD RISING: ENDGAME is directed by Pat Williams (“Continuum”) and written by Michael Ferris (TERMINATOR SALVATION, TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES) and Tim Carter (DEAD RISING: WATCHTOWER, MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY).  DEAD RISING: ENDGAME is presented by Legendary Digital Media and produced by Tim Carter with Tomas Harlan as the executive producer under their Contradiction Films banner.   

CRACKLE IMMERSES USERS IN ORIGINAL CONTENT WITH NEW VIRTUAL REALITY STRATEGY DESIGNED FOR ADVERTISERS; LG ELECTRONICS TO FEATURE 360 DEGREE BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO CONTENT FOR UPCOMING ORIGINAL DRAMA “STARTUP”

Crackle unveiled a new virtual reality strategy allowing advertisers to reach consumers through dynamic VR experiences. Designed to immerse and engage viewers, Sony's ad-supported streaming service is the first ever AVOD network to provide brands with advertising opportunities and marketing initiatives that take advantage of this latest disruptive technology. 

Crackle's VR theatre will allow viewers to stream their entire content library – including movies and original programs – in a fully-immersive viewing environment. The theatre will keep the advertiser front and center, allowing marketers to skin it with advertiser logos and ads as well as integrate their own 360 degree commercials.

In addition to the theater, Crackle has ordered a VR special of its original stop-motion animated series, “SuperMansion,” starring and executive produced by Bryan Cranston and Stoopid Buddy Stoodies (“Robot Chicken”). Crackle will also be producing extra VR content from its current slate of original programming that can be advertiser sponsored.

The ad-supported streaming network also announced that the first company to take advantage of the new offering will be LG Electronics (LG), who recently introduced the LG G5 and Friends – a suite of products which enable capturing and viewing 360 video. Partnering with Crackle’s newest original drama, “StartUp” starring Martin Freeman, fans will get a unique, fly on the wall experience of the highly-anticipated series through an innovative marketing program anchored by enhanced behind-the-scenes 360 degree footage taken by the LG 360 CAM—the campaign launches today. “StartUp” explores what happens when a brilliant, yet controversial tech idea gets incubated on the wrong side of the tracks by three strangers who don’t necessarily fit the mold of “tech entrepreneurs.” The series is set for a Q3 premiere.  

Crackle will be developing for Smartphones, Google cardboard box, Gear VR and PlayStation VR. Customized VR advertising solutions will be available across all of these platforms.

Power up with your favorite brain food, and prepare for more fun and thrills! iZOMBIE stars Rose McIver as Olivia “Liv” Moore, a medical resident on the fast track to a perfect life … until she’s turned into a zombie. But Liv finds her calling — and an endless supply of food — working at the Seattle coroner’s office, helping to solve crimes with her “visions,” while her boss and sole confidante, Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, works on a cure for her unthinkable condition. As season two begins, Liv’s ex-fiancé and love, Major, is reeling from recent events and the knowledge that Liv is a zombie. Meanwhile, Blaine — now human — struggles to maintain his zombie world; Clive searches for Blaine and suspects Major’s involvement in the Meat Cute massacre; and Ravi remains devoted to finding an antidote to the zombie virus. Unlikely alliances will be struck, relationships will be challenged and the line between good and evil will blur for both zombies and the fully living.

“In only its second season on the air, it’s a no brainer that iZOMBIE continues to be a fan-favorite with its compelling characters and visionary plotlines," said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. "We are delighted to bring iZOMBIE: The Complete Second Season to DVD.”

the most essential horror titles of the last twenty years." - Peter
Normanton, From the Tomb magazine and "The best, in my humble opinion, of
