Unboxing December's Loot Crate: Revolution

This month's Loot Crate theme was "Revolution." I was excited when they announced that the crate would include an exclusive Funko POP! figure. I knew that would be the highlight of this month's box for me. The franchises included were Assassin's Creed, Firefly, and Mr. Robot. I had assumed the POP! figure would be an Assassin's Creed one because the film was set to be released on Christmas. Unfortunately, social media spoiled the surprise early, but I was still excited for the figure.

The box included a Firefly Independents replica patch from QMx. I love all of the exclusive  QMx replicas and figures that we've gotten in our crates this past year, I hope they'll continue the trend in 2017. Also in this month's crate were an Assassin's Creed pin (with an downloadable excerpt from the new AC novel), a Mr. Robot T-Shirt, and an exclusive Figure Fantasy book with a $25 coupon from Sideshow Collectibles.

Inside this month's box:

-Exclusive Assassin's Creed Aguilar POP! figure (Funko)

-Exclusive Firefly Independents Patch (QMx)

-Exclusive Mr. Robot fsociety T-shirt (NBCUniversal)

-Exclusive Figure Fantasy Hardcover Book (Insight Editions)

-Assassin's Creed Pin+DLC (Ubisoft/Loot Crate)

KaBOOM! to Debut ‘Adventure Time: Islands’ Original Graphic Novel in November

KaBOOM!, an award-winning imprint of publisher BOOM! Studios, and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the network, are excited to announce Adventure Time: Islands, a new original graphic novel coming in November.  

Written by show writer Ashly Burch and illustrated by Diigii Daguna, the Adventure Time: Islands original graphic novel stars Bunny Girl (a.k.a. Jo) and is set roughly a thousand years before the current Adventure Time timeline.  

Launched in February 2012, KaBOOM!'s award-winning Adventure Time comics are based on the hit Cartoon Network original series. From the mind of series creator Pendleton Ward and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time follows the unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants—and always find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades. To date, KaBOOM! has published over 50 issues of the main Adventure Time comic series, eight original graphic novels, several spinoff limited series, and recently launched a new ongoing series called Adventure Time Comics.  

Adventure Time: Islands will feature a cover illustrated by the artist team of Braden Lamb & Shelli Paroline, who were the original artists on KaBOOM!’s Adventure Time comics for the first 36 issues. It carries a retail price of $9.99. It will be released in November 2016 and is available to pre-order now through local comic book shops or booksellers.
