FROM HELL: Master Edition Coming this September

Jack is back — and this time, the blood is red.

For decades, the award-winning graphic novel FROM HELL has welcomed readers into the grandeur and grime of London in the late 1800s. The New York Times-bestselling opus is an achievement the New Yorker dubs “remarkable” and Entertainment Weekly calls “an immense, majestic work about the Jack the Ripper murders, the dark Victorian world they happened in, and the birth of the 20th century.”

Beginning in September, readers old and new will experience FROM HELL as never before. The FROM HELL Master Edition presents Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s Victorian masterpiece as a ten-issue serial, thoroughly restored and revised “for color, clarity, and continuity” by Eddie Campbell himself.

BEA 2018: New LEGO Gear from Santoki

BEA (Book Expo) drops on us once a year and when it hits New York, you'd better believe we hop a train to shoot all the geekiness contained within. This year's layout was way smaller than we remember, so we took the opportunity to scan every aisle for the most awesome offerings from our favorite publishers and around each corner, there were unexpected surprises! One such smile-inducing discovery was Santoki. We are familiar with this crew mainly from our yearly UK Toy Fair coverage, so they were instantly recognized when we spotted their signature minifigure LED flashlights. Since we couldn't nail down what had been out for ages, was just releasing or had never been seen before, we shot the lot. Let's take a look at everything they had to offer...

DC Collectibles & Clutter Studios Team for Batman: Double-Cast Smoke & Bone Art Figure

Batman is meant to be nightmare fuel for the criminals he chases down, but Art Toy experts Clutter Studios conceived something waaaaay darker than any comic book artist may have ever dreamed of.

One of DC’s most iconic Super Heroes of all time is finally double cast in glass-like resin with a glow-in-the-dark inner demon! Standing an impressive 8” tall, this beautifully evil Dark Knight glows in a smoke and bone colorway.

Sculpted and modeled by American Gross (@american_gross), based on a Batman drawing by DC Executive Creative Director (and one of my favorite people on the planet) Jim Fletcher, and lovingly produced in NY by Clutter Studios (@clutterstudios), this piece is releasing for the first time at Five Points Festival this coming weekend, June 2nd & 3rd!

You know what I love about the world we live in right now? Among the piles of re-makes, re-boots and re-imaginings, there is still an ocean of producers and film companies willing to take a chance on a never-ending parade of top quality scifi and horror titles oozing with originality, style and charisma. Hotel Artemis is one such title that also stacks the deck with a cast of actors you can't say no to!

Set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, HOTEL ARTEMIS is an original, high-octane action-thriller starring Jodie Foster as The Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only hospital for criminals.
