ALIENS, COMICS AND SKATEBOARDING?

What More Could You Want from a Friday Night???


Friday nights are no longer just about hanging out with friends with nothing to do.  The start of the weekend is now for saving the world from Alien destruction…all from the deck of a skateboard.

Planet of the Apes Special #1 in Stores Wednesday


BOOM! Studios is proud to announce the release of PLANET OF THE APES SPECIAL #1, a standalone tale written by sci-fi novelist Daryl Gregory (PLANET OF THE APES, DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS) and illustrated by Diego Barreto (IRREDEEMABLE), with 32 pages of story and art. The PLANET OF THE APES SPECIAL #1, the first of three over-sized issues that will conclude Gregory's Planet of the Apes opus, is available in comic shops this Wednesday, February 13th.
It’s the return of what Jason Aaron called: “The best PLANET OF THE APES comic ever. And one of my favorite comics of the year, period.” When the Lawgiver was assassinated by a human, Ape City fell into a vicious civil war. Ten years have passed since the horrific violence and a fragile peace is emerging. Voice Alaya has been deposed and awaits sentencing in Ape City’s prison. Meanwhile, Sully has begun to rally forces, both human and ape. Little do they know they’re both on a collision course towards an even greater danger...
“I've got mixed emotions: on one hand we're bringing to a close a storyline we've been working on for over two years. On the other, hand, we're bringing to a close a storyline we've  been working on for over two years! It's 90 pages of war, death, politics, and redemption that I think follows in the best POTA tradition. I'm grateful to the fans who've followed us this far. It's been a blast for me,” said Gregory.
PLANET OF THE APES SPECIAL #1 ships in January with a main cover by Marek Oleksicki (28 DAYS LATER) and a retailer incentive cover by Paul Azaceta (UNTHINKABLE, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN).

Academy Award Nominated Film "The Impossible" Coming to Blu-ray & DVD in April


A family faces unbelievable odds in the celebrated drama The Impossible, starring two-time Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts, Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) and newcomer Tom Holland. Directed by J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage) and based on the harrowing real-life experience of one family during the Indian Ocean tsunami, the film arrives on Blu-ray Disc (plus Digital Copy and Ultraviolet), DVD (plus Digital Copy and Ultraviolet), Video On Demand and Pay-Per-View April 23 from Summit Entertainment, a LIONSGATE company.

The Impossible is the unforgettable account of a family caught with tens of thousands of strangers in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time.  But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria (Watts) and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, The Impossible is a journey to the core of the human heart.
