Editor's note: images of McFarlane Toys' Arkham Asylum Joker Bronze Edition available here. ABOUT MCFARLANE TOYS Grammy-and Emmy-winning producer/director Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn, is the creative force behind McFarlane Toys, one of America's top action figure manufacturers. McFarlane Toys has become an award-winning industry leader, redefining the artistic and creative standards within the action figure market  Alex De Campi’s Latest Project Collecting True Tales of Deployment Announces Stretch Goals; Reveals New Art NEW YORK, NY–Z2’s diverse 20/21 publishing slate continues to be revealed with projects from today’s biggest names in entertainment. Today, the publisher announces that that the ambitious project pairing members of the US military with the biggest names in comics to share real war stories told by those who lived them has reached its goal via the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform. This unique project, assembled by the multiple-Eisner nominated writer/editor, Alex de Campi and co-edited by Iraq War veteran Khai Krumbhaar is an entertaining and moving work of graphic nonfiction with new stretch goals added! “I’m thrilled the book funded so fast. TRUE WAR STORIES is a passion project of mine that Khai and I have been working quietly on for almost three years now, and it’s incredibly validating that audiences are as interested in these stories as we are” comments Alex de Campi. “I’m hoping word spreads and we continue to reach our stretch goals — the book is out in time for the holidays and at $35 for a 250-page hardback book of soldiers’ stories brought to life with amazing art, it makes a great gift for yourself and/or for friends and family.” “We put a lot of work into matching art to story and making our authors part of the whole process” says the project’s co-editor, Khai Krumbhaar. “If someone spotted a mistake during coloring, we would go back to the linework to make sure we got it absolutely right. We want the authors to feel like the art reflects their experience in tone as much as fact. I think people are responding to that attention to detail, and that's why we hit our goal this quickly.” In conjunction with this exciting project reaching the initial funding goal, Z2 announces these new stretch goals:
Vietcong sappers attack a fuel point, only to be foiled by an unusual alert guard dog. An MP guards convoys of mystery bombs in the Thai jungle in 1968. A young Airman copes with post-9/11 paranoia in Okinawa. A Marine sniper in Haiti faces the repercussions of the shot he never took. A team of SEALs help rescue a kidnapped girl in the Philippines. Army interpreters in Iraq battle their toughest foe: the rats of Saddam’s palace. A soldier on a late-night run surprises a motorpool saboteur. A young cavalry lieutenant, fresh off the Battle of Kamdesh, meets the Marine half-brother he’s never known. A Navy ship reacts to an unexpected man overboard. And if you’ve ever wondered what Christmas was like in a war zone, you’re about to find out. True War Stories is a 260-page full color graphic novel anthology containing fifteen true tales of American service members overseas. Nearly every branch of the military is represented in this collection of stories that are heartwarming, heroic, harrowing, and even at times, hilarious, spanning the globe. True War Stories will be published by Z2 Comics in time for Veterans Day in November. All profits from the book's retail release will be donated to military-related charities chosen by our contributors as personally meaningful to them: Objective Zero Foundation, Air Force Assistance Fund, the USO, Armed Services Arts Partnership, and Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Artists include the great Peter Krause, Ryan Howe, Skylar Patridge (drawing her own father's Vietnam story), Eoin Marron, Tish Doolin (a former Army medic), Dave Acosta, A. D'Amico, Drew Moss, Josh Hood, PJ Holden, Chris Peterson, Sam Hart, Jeff McComsey, and Paul Williams. Colors are by Dee Cunniffe, Matt Soffe, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Tarsis Cruz, and Aladdin Collar. All lettering is done by de Campi herself.  For more information, please visit the Kickstarter page.

Nominees Include Talented Creators and Captivating Titles from IDW, Artist’s Editions, Top Shelf, and Yoe Books SAN DIEGO, CA (August 28, 2020) – The 2020 Ringo Award judges recognized IDW Publishing and its imprints, Artist’s Editions, Top Shelf, and Yoe Books, with a combined nine nods this year. The prestigious award ceremony is an annual celebration of creativity, skill, and fun in comics, with nominations reflecting publications from the previous year as determined by fans and pros alike. “The spirit of the Ringo Award is one that puts as much emphasis on reading enjoyment as it does on talent and craft,” says Jerry Bennington, President of IDW Publishing. “Our nominees this year, much like the work of Mike Wieringo himself, take readers on flights of fancy that linger long after the final page is turned. Many thanks to the Ringo jury for honoring us with these nominations!” IDW’s 2020 Ringo Award Nominees include: Best Cartoonist (Writer/Artist): Stan Sakai, Usagi Yojimbo Best Letterer: Deron Bennett, Canto Best Colorist: Laura Martin, Ragnarök: The Breaking of Helheim Best Single Issue or Story: Usagi Yojimbo #6, by Stan Sakai Best Original Graphic Novel: Penny Nichols, by MK Reed, Greg Means, and Matt Wiegle (Top Shelf) Best Humor Comic: Rick + Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, by Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Zub, and Troy Little Best Non-Fiction Comic Work: They Called Us Enemy, by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, and Harmony Becker (Top Shelf) Best Presentation in Design: Marvel Masterwork Pin-Ups, edited by Craig Yoe (Yoe Books) Best Presentation in Design: Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo: The Complete Grasscutter Artist Select, by Stan Sakai, edited by Scott Dunbier (Artist’s Editions) “It’s gratifying to see such a wide range of comics and graphic novels recognized,” says John Barber, Editor-in-Chief at IDW. “The Ringo Awards are a fantastic honor, and the slate of projects on display here — from the samurai action of Usagi Yojimbo, to the out-of-control comedy of Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, to the hard-hitting reality of They Called Us Enemy — all paint a unique picture of the creativity that comics can deliver, honoring the memory of Mike Weiringo in the most meaningful way we can.” “Stan Sakai is not only one of our finest cartoonists, he is also a kindhearted gentleman and an absolute pleasure to work with — which added even more pressure to make this the best book I possibly could,” says Artist’s Edition editor Scott Dunbier. “Adding Shawn Lee to the mix brought it to the next level. This is a volume that I am incredibly proud of and I thank Stan for the trust he put in us.” “For this award focused on the love of comics, it’s so fitting to see Penny Nichols nominated for its celebration of oddballs coming together to build a community around their favorite art form,” says Top Shelf editor-in-chief Chris Staros. “On the other hand, the sheer importance of They Called Us Enemy, both historical and contemporary, is also suffused with love: the love of George Takei’s family that sustained them through years of injustice, and their love for America’s ideals that we must struggle to live up to. Congratulations to all the creators who beautifully captured that love on paper.” "As ‘Teenage Craig’ in the 1960s, I was a proud member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society and dreamed of someday designing Marvel Masterwork Pin-Ups!" says Yoe Books editor, Craig Yoe. “Now, as Old Man Craig, I am both proud and humbled by this prestigious Ringo nomination that I share with the talent-filled Clizia Gussoni. We love the Fab Four: Jack, Steve, Stan, and Ringo!” The final voting for Ringo Awards is open to the creative comics community from now through Saturday, October 24, via the website www.ringoawards.com.

Studios today announced that superstar artist Ron Garney (Wolverine, Captain America) is the new series artist for BRZRKR, the upcoming twelve-issue limited series from the iconic Keanu Reeves in his Must Read comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt (Folklords, Bang!), colorist Bill Crabtree (BRPD), and letterer Clem Robins (Hellboy). The man known only as B is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence...even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the world for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it. Over the course of his thirty year career, Ron Garney has built a large fan following, illustrating some of the industry's greatest characters including Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Thor, X-Force, Captain America, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Silver Surfer, G.I. Joe, and the Justice League of America, along with original series like Men of Wrath with Jason Aaron. He recently completed acclaimed runs on Daredevil and Savage Sword of Conan at Marvel Entertainment. A perennial “Top Ten” artist during his career, Garney has been nominated twice for the industry's coveted Eisner Awards, for Best Artist and Best Serialized Story (Captain America with Mark Waid), and has worked in Hollywood on major projects, notably as a costume illustrator for I Am Legend (starring Will Smith) and providing illustrations for Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix. “I'm thrilled to have been asked to join Keanu, and Matt, Bill, Clem, and the whole team on BRZRKR,” said Ron Garney. “I've started collaborating with them and am really digging diving into this. In my over thirty year career I've worked on so many projects, and this feels like a fresh, new, unique, and cool character in an action-packed world that is like something we've never experienced before. It's adventurous, and exploring the fascinating conflict behind the mysterious hero B. is a trip I’m excited to be on.” "Ron Garney has been delivering spectacular work on Marvel's top characters for years and we're thrilled to have him join BRZRKR as series artist," said Matt Gagnon, Editor-in-Chief of BOOM! Studios. "Ron and Keanu's influences in comics, and vision for the series, couldn't be more in line. Ron Garney is a perfect match to bring the visceral world of BRZRKR to life."
