The X-Files’ Joe Harris takes on The Prince of Darkness – Alice Cooper in his FIRST ongoing comic series! Rock n’ roll legend Alice Cooper was never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes and pyrotechnics and the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his role as “The Lord of Nightmares” beyond it, where he watched over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away… until now. And if he’s going to reclaim his dark throne, he’s going to need all the help he can get!

The Humble Star Trek Bundle supports The Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization that provides a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life and an avenue back into paying work. Thanks to the generosity of the community, Humble Bundle purchasers have contributed more than $44 million toward charity to date.

The Humble Star Trek Bundle presented by IDW ends on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 11 a.m. PDT.

Fantasy Flight’s Update on the Star Wars: Force and Destiny Beta

Posted on by

SWFbeta_book_leftFantasy Flight Games has posted an update about the beta test for their Star Wars: Force and Destiny roleplaying game. Early copies of the game were on sale at Gen Con and the idea is the community will provide feedback for the game.

Fantasy Flight is holding off that feedback for a bit. The company is going to wait until copies of the beta are available in stores before they start posting updates, so they can get opinions and feedback from them as well.

The beta process of the game will run for eight to ten weeks depending on feedback and the changes that need to be made. You can discuss the game with others in a dedicated forum. You can also submit feedback to them directly at forceanddestinybeta@fantasyflightgames.com.

Throughout the process, the company will also be posting updates and additions they’re considering after reviewing the feedback. The first beta update should be released September 9th.
