Standstill’s first issue heads back to print

Writer Lee Loughridge and artist Andrew Robinson’s Standstill has sold out completely at the distributor level. The debut chapter in this eight-issue, high-stakes thriller miniseries is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with escalating demand. 

If you could stop time, what wouldn’t you do? In Standstill, readers meet Ryker Ruel, an enigmatic, lecherous, and clinically insane sociopath who has stolen a top-secret device that can freeze time! Now, as the bodies of world leaders pile up, famous works of art go missing, and other strange crimes dominate the headlines, only the device’s creator—a run-of-the-mill science geek—knows what’s happening and sets out to stop Ryker’s seemingly endless revenge tour.

Standstill #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0824IM909) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 2.

Humble Bundle’s Terminator 40th Anniversary!

Terminator Humble Bundle

He said he’d be back, and he is again 40 years later! The Terminator is one of the most heralded and influential films of all time, innovating the action blockbuster formula and introducing fans to an incredible science fiction mythos. Its impact was felt across media, and particularly in strings of critically acclaimed and best-selling comic books through the eras. Dynamite Entertainment has teamed up with Humble Bundle in celebrating the film and franchise’s 40th anniversary with an unbeatable deal on nearly every Terminator comic ever produced for one astounding price!

Live to purchase right now, the bundle will only be available for a limited time, so get yours!

The Terminator comics kicked off right as the 1990s began, and through its original licensed publishers of Dark Horse and Now Comics, so many talented writers and artists contributed to the saga with their own takes on the titular killing machines, the dastardly aims of Skynet, and the resistance fighters through the ages. 

This bundle of digital comics is bursting at the seams, and available in multiple tiers for readers to fit their budget, all under $20 at even the fullest level. Doing the math, the haul that fans can walk away with comes out to just shy of a whopping 50 issues of comics storytelling, and that’s a jaw-dropping 1,350 pages! Not only is this the best quick, comprehensive way to add all these comics to your digital collection forever, it truly is an unbeatable deal!

Highlights of the bundle include the 1991 special by writer James Robinson (Starman, Justice League of America) and artist Matt Wagner (Batman, Mage). Then in Secondary Objectives, Robinson is joined by the cult classic virtuoso Paul Gulacy (Master of Kung-FuBatman). The later 1998 special that marked a second major era for the Dark Horse material features legendary artist Guy Davis (B.P.R.D., The Marquis). Perhaps the most memorable of them all is The Burning Earth which was the first major interior painted artwork by Alex Ross, one of the biggest creators ever. Other creators with work in this bundle include John Arcudi, Chris Warner, Ian Edginton, Vince Giarrano, Butch Guice, Alan Grant, Steve Pugh, Ron Fortier, Zack Whedon, Andy MacDonald, Brian Wood, Jeff Stokely, and more.

A portion of all proceeds from the bundle sales will go to charity partner the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. They do not exactly fight Skynet, but their mission is just as, if not more vital! The historic nonprofit organization fights on the front lines against book censorship, with specific focus on the comics and graphic novels medium and its creators.
