Dark Horse Deluxe Gets Grimm!

Dark Horse’ toys and collectibles imprint, Dark Horse Deluxe, is proud to offer new items based on characters and stories from the hit NBC show Grimm!

Grimm is a cop drama inspired by the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, following Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt into a reality he never knew existed. Once he discovers this new world, and his role in it, he has to deal with much more than the usual criminals and investigations. With his partner Hank and ally Monroe (who is also a magical creature called a Blutbad), Nick delves into cases involving bees, bats, bears, and more!

Dark Horse Deluxe is launching their Grimm line with an assortment of products. The centerpieces of this first wave are sculpted, wearable pin replicas of Nick’s key and one of the coins of Zakynthos.

Nick is bequeathed the key as his dying Aunt Marie introduces him to his destiny as a Grimm, warning him to guard it with his life. The key is revealed to have a map carved on the outside, which is etched into the replica pin’s surface. Two small loops on the key allow the wearer to easily convert it from a pin to a hanging pendant. The mysterious, ancient coin of Zakynthos has a long history of bringing a bad end to its possessors, although the Grimms seem strangely immune. While its purpose remains a mystery, various dark forces are seeking it and will kill to attain ownership of it. The Dark Horse coin pin replica is given an antique finish over zinc alloy, re-creating the patina of antiquity.

An embossed, heavy-gauge, litho-printed, classic tin lunchbox, a sixteen-ounce pint glass, a deluxe coffee mug, and an embroidered skull-design patch round out the initial range of collectibles. Dark Horse will continue to offer more Grimm products, including busts, journals, and playing cards, and some very cool lenticular items. Stay tuned . . .

Look for these Grimm collectibles on sale September 25, 2013, at fine retailers everywhere!

Picks of the Week: Bravest Warriors #8 and 9 Other Choices

Bravest-Warriors-8-cover-B-Nick-EdwardsThere are few comics that get me to laugh each and every issue. Bravest Warriors is one of those comics. This comic might look like it’s for kids, but the subversive humor is anything but. With moments that get me to say “holy shit” then laugh out loud (literally laugh out loud, people stare) the comic has it all in a crazy package. From the creator of Adventure Time, the series is the sci-fi cousin of that popular series. Featuring a team of adventurers to stories are bizarre and beyond entertaining.

Check out below for the rest of our picks!

  • Bravest Warriors #8 – see above
  • Avengers #11 – One of Marvel’s best, the series seems to be merging many corners of the Marvel Universe, like the New Universe. For die-hard fans only, the series is thick with continuity, but also a threat that’s “Avengers worthy”
  • Batman #20 – The last issue before Zero Year. Batman is still dealing with the loss of his son.
  • Chin Music #1 – A new Image series that looks to continue the streak of hits. Shaw is a man on the run and lost in time. Fleeing ancient enemies, Shaw finds himself in prohibition-era Chicago surrounded by gangers and demons alike and caught between law enforcement and the local supernatural underground. The comic is a tale of mysticism and violence like nothing you’ve experienced before.
  • Grimm #1 – Based on the popular television series. I’m expecting a possible hit from non-regular comic readers.
  • Star Wars #5 – Brian Wood has given us a new and interesting Star Wars story devoid of years of continuity and history.
  • Supurbia #7 – Super powers + soap opera = awesome!
  • Thor: God of Thunder #8 – Jason Aaron has been giving us an awesome Thor and the art is some of the best out there.
  • Uncanny Avengers #8 – The series started off slow, but has been getting better. The tension between mutants and humans is the main focus and something missing from most of Marvel NOW!
  • The Walking Dead #110 – Do I really need to push this one? The series is a cultural phenomenon and one of the few with crossover fans from outside comics. A true success in bringing in new readers from a new entertainment venue.
  • X #1 – The return of Dark Horse’s gritty anti-hero.
