The Munsters Minimates Get Moving in the New Minimates Koaches!

The Munsters were one of the more unusual families in American television history, and their family car was just as unusual as they were! While the Munsters fused Transylvania with Suburbia, the Munster Koach fused a hearse with a hot rod, combining speed, size and solemnity into one classy package! Was this the world’s first hybrid vehicle? Well, Diamond Select Toys is celebrating the Koach’s place in car culture with two different Minimates vehicles — one in color at Toys “R” Us and one in glorious black-and-white at comic shops and specialty stores. Both come with a Minimate of Herman Munster, but while the color version comes with an extra sad head, the monochrome edition comes wearing his famous drag-racing outfit! Check out the packaging pics below, and pick them both up today!

DARK HORSE PUBLISHES EXILE TO BABYLON DIGITAL COMIC ADAPTATION!

Dark Horse announces the thrilling digital comic adaptation of Exile to Babylon, soon to be a major motion picture from the mind of creative director Domagoj Mazuran and producer Helen Darras!

The four issue digital comic written by Eisner Award–winning writer David Lapham (Kull: The Hate Witch, Stray Bullets), with artwork from Patric Reynolds (Serenity, Let Me In), Exile to Babylon melds key elements of cult classics such as Mad Max, Blade Runner, and contemporary hits like Call of Duty all into one!

In the year 2040, the world’s precious resources are in high demand, and security is found on the streets. A private military operative of reeducated gang members—the Blackshield Angels—is the only hope of liberating a vital fuel supply from a criminal overlord. Blackshield’s best agent struggles through betrayal, love, and a seemingly unending war zone—Zone 12—to complete his mission in a dangerous world where tattooed warlords reign supreme and giant satellites watch men from above like gods.

Exile to Babylon #1 is available now from Dark Horse Digital!
