Blood Origin continues to rock on in today’s new issue of Executive Assistant: Assassins, which features more deadly training of femme fatales than you can shake a katanna at!

Season’s Greetings Look Wonderful From Udon This Year
Dec 25th
UDON Entertainment has always produced stunning art in both comics and art books. What some fans may not know is they have also produced some rather beautiful holiday cards. We just got our 2013 Holiday Card from UDON yesterday, and it looks gorgeous! The art is by James Ghio, UDON’s newest artist. Ghio was also the artist who did those awesome wrap-around dust jackets for the UDON San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Street Fighter Hardcover earlier this year. While UDON is known for doing some awesome exclusives, especially with Video Game art, they have continuously surprised their work associates with awesome holiday More >

Miracle On Jeff’s Street, A Christmas Prelude To Community Season 5
Dec 20th
Last week Community fans got a trailer for next year’s season 5 of Community and today, one week later, we get an extra special Christmas treat. The cast of Community returns to animated form for a fun little prelude to season 5 which also humorously explains some casting changes. As many fans are already aware, Chevy Chase won’t be returning for season 5 and Donald Glover will only be available for a limited number of episodes (5 to be exact). This means that Troy gets limited appearances in the new season and Pierce Hawthorne won’t be a part of Greendale at More >
How To Train Your Dragon 2 Official Trailer

Fans of Dreamwork’s How To Train Your Dragon and Riders of Berk series have already seen several great teasers for the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon 2. However, the return to Berk looks even more amazing with the first official trailer for the film coming out today. This epic new look at the world of vikings and dragons has a few little surprises that tell viewers quite a bit about what to expect from the upcoming movie. The film keeps its light hearted humor, with some particularly adorable and funny scenes shown off in the trailer, while also looking More >
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm Anniversary Screening
Dec 18th
It has nearly been 20 years since Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and director Eric Radomski’s epic animated film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, debuted in theaters across the US. Mask of the Phantasm was the only animated Batman movie to make it to theaters and was a brilliant showing of Dini and Timm’s stunning animated DC universe of the early 90′s, with a truly untouchable hour and 16 minutes of screen time. The movie hit theaters on Christmas day, December 25th of 1993, and was undoubtedly a great present for many kids and comic fans alike. Now, on the movie’s More >
Community Season 5 Trailer
Dec 13th
Six seasons and a movie. That is the chant of hope for fans of NBC’s popular comedy series, Community. It was a hope that almost died out after the long delays and loss of showrunner, Dan Harmon, for season 4 of the series. But now Dan Harmon is back, piloting the ship that is Community for its 5th season, which begins airing January 2nd of 2014. With the exception of Chevy Chase, the cast is all back for the new season, albeit some of them limited in how many episodes they’ll play a part in. Never-the-less, the show looks like it More >
A New Look At The Long Awaited Lady Mechanika #4
Dec 12th
Joe Benitez’s sensational steam punk comic, Lady Mechanika, seemed to turn the comics world upside down with a huge influx of steam punk fans diving into the community to get their hands on the new series from Aspen MLT. The comic debuted in August of 2010, going through multiple printings that all sold out almost immediately after hitting store shelves. The brilliant art of Benitez, combined with the growing interest in steam punk culture made Lady Mechakica one of the most popular indie comics of 2010 and 2011. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, only 4 issues of the comic have More >
A First Look At Jim Mahfood’s New Project
Dec 9th
Yesterday on Instagram the talented indie comic creator, Jim Mahfood, shared a sneak peek at his upcoming project. Mahfood is generally known for his highly popular indie comics and unique art style that comes across very raw and sketchy. Most recently he has worked on Tank Girl: Everybody Loves Tank Girl and AvX:VS, while drawing the occasional cover and designing an incredibly funky limited edition pop-up book (well worth looking into if you can afford it). But fans of his art have eagerly awaited him doing new interiors on another indie book for sometime. Sharing just 2 panels still in rough sketch form, More >
Warren Ellis Returns To Writing…Newsletters?! Check Out Orbital Operations
Dec 8th
Warren Ellis is a brilliantly talented writer who has been responsible for some of my favorite comics, several twisted novels, a few TV shows, and quite a few social media posts, including newsletters and blog posts that predate us ever calling the things they were shared on social media. In the past Warren has had two rather successful and well known newsletters that would pop up right in fan’s email inboxes with all sorts of dark thoughts, twisted humor, and even recipes on an unexpected occasion or two. These were the long running Bad Signal and the shorter lived Machine Vision. More >
