Star Wars: Dawn Of The Jedi
/DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES STAR WARS: DAWN OF THE JEDI
TAKING YOU BACK TO THE BEGINNINGS OF THE JEDI!
October 14, New York, NY— Direct from New York Comic Con, Dark Horse Comics announces its most exciting Star Wars title for 2012! A brand-new series that establishes the beginnings of the Jedi!
Series creators John Ostrander and Jan Duursema have gone from the future of Star Wars (Legacy) to the beginnings of that galaxy far, far away to reveal the mythic age of the Jedi’s origin. This is the Star Wars era of legend! Launching with a #0 issue, which will serve as the official guide for readers -Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi is the perfect jumping on point for any fan of Star Wars!
Here’s your first look at the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago—before there were lightsabers, when the ties to the Force were new, and before the Jedi spread out into the galaxy. It began with the mysterious pyramid ships—the Tho Yor—scattered to the eight corners of the galaxy, and ended with the establishment of an Order that would change the universe forever.
On the planet Tython, in the center of the galaxy, an order of warrior monks strives to maintain peace and to balance the mysterious power known as the Force. But a stranger is coming—one who will destroy both peace and balance, and open the galaxy to exploration and conquest. This is where it all begins!

CAMBRIDGE, UK, October 13, 2011- Jagex Games Studio, one of the largest independent games developers and publishers in the world, and makers of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE MMO, today announced their exciting plans for New York’s Comic-Con; which runs from Thursday October 13 to Sunday October 16
The Jagex game development and marketing team will be on hand at the convention to speak to visitors about the new MMO, slated for release in 2012, on experiential TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE stand – number 522.
At the TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE MMO stand fans will get a unique experience as they pass through the enclosed stand at Comic Con. They will have the chance to pledge their allegiance to either the AUTOBOT or DECEPTICON faction, customise their very own TRANSFORMERS CHARACTER and even have their photograph taken alongside their creation in the interactive journey.
Fans interaction with the game won’t stop there; while the customisation presented at Comic Con will offer fans a taste of what is to come within the game, Jagex today revealed that visitors to the stand will also have the chance to make their mark on the game by offering them the chance to influence the naming of both the AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON factions in one of the game’s player classes.
For the duration of the convention, visitors to the Transformers UNIVERSE MMO stand, along with followers of the game’s Facebook profile (www.facebook.com/transformersuniverse), will be able to vote on a number of pre-assigned names for each of the factions within a class, but in a bold move by Jagex, fans also have the chance to offer their own recommendation for the AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON factions. Voting will begin when the show opens its doors at 4.00pm EDT Thursday October 13 to 5.00pm EDT Sunday October 16.
Running in parallel to the activity at Comic Con, a similar community vote will take place exclusively on MMORPG.com to name the AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON in a second in-game class. Voting will open at 4.00pm EDT Thursday October 13 and run until to 5.00pm EDT Sunday October 16. Fans wishing to cast their vote should visit www.mmorpg.com/transformers_universe_poll.cfm
The most popular name from each vote will be revealed shortly after the voting closes.
Visitors who pass through the enclosed stand will also be some of the first to view footage showing what the browser based MMO will look like, experience the graphical style and direction and be able to see firsthand how the Jagex development team is working with Hasbro to create the look and feel of the game through live concept art and animation demonstrations.
In addition to the activity on the show floor, members of the TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE development team will be taking part in the following panel sessions at the show:
- Date: Friday, October 14
Time: 7:45 pm - 8:45 pm
- Location: 1A24

Dark Horse Comic Review
/Hey Otakus and Geek fans, Sean (The Comic Guy) here with more NYCC 2011 news. Thanks to the Guys at Dark Horse we were given the opportunity to review some exclusive titles soon to be released. Today I will be reviewing: House of Night#1, Orchid #1, Valve presents: The Sacrifice and other steam powered stories.
VALVE PRESENTS: THE SACRIFICE AND OTHER STEAM-POWERED STORIES
Writer: Various
Artist: Michael Avon Oeming, Various
Genre: Action/Adventure
Publication Date: November 16, 2011
For fifteen years, Valve has defined the cutting edge of video games. Now, Valve joins with Dark Horse to bring three critically acclaimed, fan-favorite series to print, with a hardcover collection of comics from the worlds of Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, and Portal. With over two hundred pages of story, Valve Presents: The sacrifice and other Steam-Powered Stories is a must-read for fans looking to further explore the games they love or comics readers interested in dipping their toes into new mythos!
• Features comics from the bestselling series Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress!
Review: I have to say the book was a good read. For those Zombie enthusiasts out there, you will really love the Left 4 Dead story. I’m not into the Portal or Team Fortress games, so I wasn’t into those stories as much, but they were entertaining enough to keep me reading till the end. Overall this book is a good pick for your collection.
HOUSE OF NIGHT #1 (STEVE MORRIS VARIANT COVER)
Writer: P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast, Kent Dalian
Artist: Joëlle Jones, Karl Kerschl
Cover Artist:Steve Morris
Genre: Horror
Publication Date: November 09, 2011
Until recently, Zoey Redbird was an average high-school student worrying about grades, boys, and breakouts. But priorities have a way of changing when you are marked as a vampyre, enroll in the vampyre academy House of Night, and have to figure out a whole new social hierarchy, affinities for elemental magic, and physiological changes that make you crave blood.
* The magical world of New York Times best-selling authors P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast comes to comics!
* Five million novels sold and legions of loyal fans!
* Ask your local retailer how you can get this special variant cover issue!
Review: Ok I’m not really into the mystical world of magic or teen vampire books, but I am into hot chicks in schoolgirl outfits (laughs) just kidding! House of night changed that for me. With a good first issue story and well-drawn art, this is definitely a title to look for.
ORCHID #1 (SHEPARD FAIREY VARIANT COVER)
Writer: Tom Morello
Artist: Scott Hepburn
Colorist: Dan Jackson
Cover Artist: Shepard Fairey
Genre: Action/Adventure
Publication Date: October 12, 2011
From the mind of musician Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman) with art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic), Orchid is the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.
When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves. Welcome to the world of Orchid.
* Featuring a variant cover by the best-known and influential street artist Shepard Fairey!
So check out these titles and more at darkhorse.com and don’t forget to stop by the Dark Horse booth at New York Comic Con. This Sean(The Comic Guy) for Otakus and Geeks and I hope to see you guys at the Con.

CLAUDIO SANCHEZ’S
ALL-NEW ZOMBIE EPIC
KEY OF Z
DEBUTS AT NEW YORK COMIC CON 2011!
FEATURING AN NYCC-EXCLUSIVE COVER
BY DECLAN SHALVEY!
October 6, 2010 - Los Angeles, CA - Claudio Sanchez, creator and writer of THE AMORY WARS and KILL AUDIO, proudly debuts his latest book, KEY OF Z, at this year's New York Comic Con (NYCC) on October 13th through 16th at the Javits Center in New York, NY, where Sanchez serves as a special guest of the show.
With art by Aaron Kuder (THE AMORY WARS), writers Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert bring a deadly new vision of New York City in KEY OF Z. The zombie apocalypse has transformed the city into two separate battle-hardened fiefdoms. Nick Ewing is left to survive while seeking revenge on those responsible for the death of his family – the warring gangs residing in The Big Apple’s most illustrious athletic houses. Ewing stumbles upon a sentimental artifact from his past that imbues him with surprising power. Find out what happens when he discovers the KEY OF Z.
This #1 features a stunning NYCC-exclusive cover by Declan Shalvey (28 DAYS LATER, THUNDERBOLTS). KEY OF Z will be in stores October 19th, with cover art by Nathan Fox (FLORESCENT BLACK) and look for a special incentive cover by Tony Moore (THE WALKING DEAD).
Sanchez and Echert will be signing at their Evil Ink Comics booth (#1345) at New York Comic Con at 4pm Thursday and 5pm Friday (October 13th and 14th) and 4pm Sunday (October 16th). In addition, Kuder will be drawing personalized zombie sketches on Saturday afternoon (Oct 15th) starting at noon. Comic legend Peter David will join the crew signing on Friday, and there will be an exclusive Tony Moore KEY OF Z print (limited to 100) and more goodies.
Also be sure to attend the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY panel at NYCC where Claudio will be a guest speaker, happening Friday, October 14th at 12:15pm in the IGN Theater http://bit.ly/nhv4pp. His band COHEED AND CAMBRIA appears on the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY soundtrack, due out October 4th. The song "Deranged" can be heard here: http://youtu.be/woPliVs5uqM
Following the convention, Sanchez and Echert will go on a mini-signing tour, including Boston and Providence (Newbury Comics), Orlando (A Comic Shop), Los Angeles (Meltdown Comics) and more. Check with http://www.everythingevilink.com for more details.
