Figma: Drossel new pre-orders
Fireball (ファイアボール Faiabōru) is a CGI anime shorts created by Jinni’s Animation Studios in conjunction with Disney. The show takes place in the distant future of the 49th millennium, and revolves around the happenings inside a giant manor (named ‘Tempest Tower’) inhabited by two robots; the gynoid duchess Drossel von Flügel (title and full name: the 19th Lord of Uranos’ Kingdom’s Tempest Domain, Drossel Juno Vierzehntes Heizregister Fürstin von Flügel; voiced by Miyuki Kawashō) and her massive cyclopian arachnoid servant, Gedächtnis (voiced by Toru Okawa). The episodes are usually nonsensical in nature, normally showing the two characters making idle conversation in the midst of a war with humanity. A third character, a monkey-robot named “Schadenfreude“, joins them later

DARK HORSE PRESENTS #11!
BARBIERE AND RADL’S WHITE SUITS INVADES
From the Cold War to the present day, a mysterious group of killers known as the White Suits have left their bloody fingerprints throughout modern history. Making their Dark Horse Presents debut, Frank Barbiere and Luke Radl turn back the clock to a time of Iron Curtain brutality with The White Suits!
“We’re extremely happy to have the opportunity to introduce The White Suits in the pages of Dark Horse Presents. I’m thrilled to be working with longtime collaborator Luke Radl, who’s been with me every step of the way in fleshing out the White Suits mythos. Luke brings a unique, textured style and compelling visual storytelling to the black-and-white world of our story,” says Frank J. Barbiere.

Luke Radl says, “I feel very fortunate to be working with people who believe in this story and support the hard work that goes into it. Dark Horse puts out some of the best comics out there, so I’m proud to be in good company. I hope readers enjoy this glimpse into the world of The White Suits as much as we’ve enjoyed crafting it.”

Godzilla Legends #1 now in stores, First of five monster spotlight issues
IDW Publishing is proud to launch the first issue in a new mini-series, GODZILLA LEGENDS. The series features five self-contained stories, each centering on one of Godzilla’s fearsome foes. Beginning with Anguirus in issue #1, each issue focuses on a Toho monster that has never been closely examined in comics—ever! Through its action-packed run, GODZILLA LEGENDS will treat readers to all-new stories of Anguirus, Rodan, Titanosaurus, Hedorah and Kumonga, each spotlighting in their own issue. This miniseries will also offer stunning interconnected covers by Arthur Adams.
In GODZILLA LEGENDS #1, drawn and co-written by Matt Frank, Anguirus, the perpetual underdog, goes toe-to-toe with one of the most devastating monsters of all time-Destoroyah! This is a classic tale of David vs. Goliath… monster style! Writers Jeff Prezenkowski and Matt Frank keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout the entire issue. Readers are encouraged to ask their retailers about a variant Matt Frank cover, as well as a unique hand-sketched Matt Frank cover.
The action continues with GODZILLA LEGENDS #2, coming in December. Writer Jonathan Vankin and artist Simon Gane create a sure-fire hit featuring the master of the skies—the mighty Rodan! In January, Titanosaurus headlines his very own comic, courtesy of writer Mike Raicht and artist Tony Parker for GODZILLA LEGENDS #3. February brings GODZILLA LEGENDS #4 and the first-ever fight between Hedorah and Mechagodzilla, with writer Chris Mowry and artist E.J. Su. This epic series closes in March when the government asks renowned, retired adventurer Bryson Allworth to do the impossible – climb Godzilla! Helmed by writer Bobby Curnow with artist Dean Haspiel, GODZILLA LEGENDS #5 is a fittingly thrilling end to this must-have series.
Each issue will feature covers by renowned Godzilla artists. In addition to the interconnecting, series-long covers by Adams, Bob Eggleton will create covers for issues 1, 3 and 5, with covers from Chris Scalf for issues 2 and 4.
Review-The Strain #1
By Chuck Suffel
Publication Date: December 14, 2011 Format: FC, 32 pages Price: $1.00
Story by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan ,Script by David Lapham, Art by Mike Huddleston
From the Dark Horse page:
“When a Boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport and goes dark on the runway, the Center for Disease Control, fearing a terrorist attack, calls in Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team of expert biological-threat first responders. Only an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem suspects a darker purpose behind the event-an ancient threat intent on covering mankind in darkness.”
Guillermo Del Toro? Chuck Hogan? David Lapham? With writers like these the story should leap off the page and tell itself! Did it? Let’s start by saying that as usual Mike Huddleston’s (Butcher Baker and The Homeland Directive) artwork doesn’t disappoint. Some panels are really creepy and disturbing. So the art wasn’t my problem. The problem I had was there really wasn’t that much to this book. I get it, it’s a one dollar number one, all setup. I just thought it would suck me in more. This could be, may very well be a great story but I can’t tell from this issue. It opens well enough with a peek at the mythos of our villain(s) and then jumps to present day where we meet some of the players. Then the big plot point hits! Dr. Goodweather and his team react to a modern day nightmare scenario. Though the big plot point just didn’t play all that big to me. It was kinda flat for a horror comic. It wasn’t very gory or even violent which is fine but I didn’t even get that sense of unease of foreboding that is usually conveyed in a good horror comic.
Now to be fair I haven’t read the New York Times Best Selling trilogy that this was based on but I really think the comic should be able to interest me on its own. I hope issue two has something more in store for us because this vampire comic? It didn’t suck, I just couldn’t sink my teeth into it.
