McFarlane Toys Teaming Up With Call of Duty To Create Collectible Figures

McFarlane Toys will bring a line of collectible figures based on the blockbuster video game franchise played by millions worldwide, Call of Duty. The first wave of hyper-realistic Call of Duty collectible figures will include fully articulated, fan favorite characters, including the iconic John "Soap" MacTavish and Simon "Ghost" Riley from the famed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare titles, with more characters spanning the franchise to be revealed at a later date. Call of Duty collectible figures will be hitting major retailers in the fall retailing at 19.99 USD.   

"The cool thing that we're particularly excited about is how these collectible figures tap into the great characters, who we all know and love from Call of Duty.  This franchise has delivered incredible experiences full of iconic and memorable characters, and we're delighted to bring these characters to life as collectibles to fans," said Todd McFarlane Owner and CEO of McFarlane Toys.  

eigoMANGA Launches ComX VR to iPhone and Android Devices

eigoMANGA is pleased to announce that the  company has released a virtual reality (VR) digital comic book platform for iPhone and  Android devices, called ComX VR.  

ComX VR is now available worldwide for iPhone and Android devices and is free to download  from the Apple App Store and Google Play.  

VR is one of the most exciting and fastest growing segments for digital media yet there  has been no scalable platform for comic content, until ComX VR.  

The ComX VR platform is the first of its kind that allows Android and iPhone users to  read and collect digital comics immersed in a 360-degree environment, rather than being  confined to the resolution of a mobile device.  

ComX VR works with any Cardboard-compatible mobile VR headset and does not need to use  any other external controllers because the app is developed with Gaze-input controls to  allow for simple hands-free navigation and interactivity.  

No sign up required for ComX VR. If users choose to create a free account, they have the  ability to access and transfer their content across different devices.  

"VR is the next frontier for comics and ComX VR is honoured to be that  pioneer," triumphs eigoMANGA's publisher Austin Osueke.  

Strangers on the Internet Want to Give You $100,000

BOOM! Studios is proud to announce SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING: WHY STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET WANT TO GIVE YOU $100,000, a bold, irreverent, hilarious how-to guide from bestselling Kickstarter campaign manager Derek Miller (Cyanide & Happiness), co-writer Noelle Pugh (Joking Hazard), and featuring laugh-out-loud illustrations by cartoonist Joy Ho. Taking their millions of dollars of supercrowdfunding experience, SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING is the ultimate handbook that delivers everything you need to know about being a modern entrepreneur in today’s global marketplace.  

"Most crowdfunding advice is either too basic to be useful or completely wrong. Trust me, I've read and taken all the courses so you don't have to,” said Derek Miller. “SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING is the no-BS distilled version of advice used from actual creators who have raised at least six-, if not seven-, figures on crowdfunding. This isn't theoretical or fluff, it's the exact campaign tactics that have raised over $30 million on Kickstarter, directly from the creators who did the work themselves. Follow this book and you'll get funded."  

“After reading SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING to the end, I was stoked to see that someone had made this beast of an endeavor so clear and fun to understand,” said Joy Ho. “As a creative, I have friends who’ve embarked on campaigns themselves, and it's almost a given that I'll have to engage in one in the future. While the book is a digestible read, it doesn't compromise on the information that you need to know. And if you don't think you might engage in Kickstarter anytime soon, it is still an advantageous read for working out what your audience wants, and what the process is for finding support for your work in the real world."  

SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING is packed with the collective advice and pro-tips from world-class campaign leaders who have experience raising over $30 million through successfully managing and executing several high-profile crowdfunding campaigns including Dude Bro Party Massacre 3 ($241,071) from Michael E. Peter, James Ashby, Tim Ciancio, Michael Rousselet; Augie and the Green Knight ($384,410) from Zach Weiner; OrganATTACK! ($526,274) from Nick Seluk; Superbook ($2,952,508) from Andrew Jiang; G-RO ($3,307,773) from Netta Shalgi; Pillars of Eternity ($3,986,929) from Feargus Uruqhart; and Bones I-IV ($12,380,214) from Ed Pugh. Presented in an easy-to-follow, humorous format, Miller and Pugh will teach you how to maximize your message, mechanics, and marketing.   

“SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING is unlike anything BOOM! Studios has ever published. This is truly a modern business book for the modern entrepreneur, packed with hard and honest truths about crowdfunding that you won't get from other authors in the space,” said Bryce Carlson, Managing Editor, BOOM! Studios. "Derek and Noelle are here to finally give an authentic voice to this growing DIY creative community. Coupled with the cavalcade of crowdfunding stars featured in this book, readers are going to get a real look into campaign successes—and failures—all straight from people who've lived it. If you're serious about pursuing artistic freedom and earning that sweet, sweet crowdfunding cash, look no further."  

SIX FIGURE CROWDFUNDING will be available for sale July 2018 at bookstores (including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million) and local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one), along with the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies will be available to purchase on digital book marketplaces, including ComiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.
