Did you say homicidal chickens!?

What’s that about a card game? We have the exclusive reveal of the card game launching as part of the crowdfunding project.

The game is simple, your goal is the get rid of all of your cards, but the murder chickens have other plans. You’ll attack your opponents, steal their cards, reverse the game play, skip turns, and more chaos, all the while the chaos meter grows!

MURDER CHICKENS: THE CARD GAME

The chickens have gone completely insane.

In Murder Chickens, your goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards.

Unfortunately, the chickens have other plans.

Attack your opponents. Steal their cards. Reverse the direction of play. Skip turns. Swap entire hands. And whatever you do, DON’T LET THE CHAOS METER REACH 10.

Because that’s when things get really bad.

At Chaos Level 3, attacks get stronger. At 6, you can start playing two cards at once. At 9, every attack targets EVERYONE. And at 10?

GOD HAS ABANDONED THE COOP.

Everyone throws away their hand and draws five new cards.

But that’s not all. You’ve got Chainsaw Chickens, Rabid Hens, Egg Bursts, Feather Storms, Apocalypse Hens, The Rooster King, and the ultimate act of chicken-based destruction: TOTAL COOP FAILURE.

Easy to learn. Fast to play. Completely unpredictable.

And if you’re brave enough to play Apocalypse Mode, you’re racing toward 666 points. Land on EXACTLY 666 and you don’t just win…

You become the GOD OF THE CHICKEN APOCALYPSE.

Gather your flock. Start the apocalypse.

Dick Tracy debuted in newspapers on Sunday, October 4, 1931 and was written and drawn solely by creator Chester Gould until 1977.

Now Clover Press and the Library of American Comics have been bringing the collections back to print in an affordable softcover format with Dick Tracy: 1961-1964, featuring Gould’s iconic early 60s strips. Backers will receive all four volumes at once, as well as commemorative prints of each of the covers by Cat Staggs, Brent Schoonover, Howie Noel, and Daniel Hillyard. The Kickstarter is now live and ends soon!

Each volume will measure 11″ x 8.5″ in a horizontal format and will slide into a vertical slipcase, designed for protection and easy shelving. Each year’s collection will also feature a new cover by a diverse selection of contemporary artists.

Exclusive: Get a look at The DC Art of Bruno Redondo Dust Jacket

Posted on February 25, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Clover Press has announced The DC Art of Bruno Redondo, the second volume in the The DC Art Of… books, the recent line of high-end boutique art books showcasing the very best artists to craft the DC multiverse. Three-time Eisner Award-winning artist Bruno Redondo has built a world-class career perfecting his art for DC’s comics in the 21^st century, and now, The DC Art of Bruno Redondo collects his very best work from the first era of an already impressive career. With over 200 pages, the 9”x12” volume highlights Redondo’s defining runs on Injustice and Nightwing, as well special selections from Justice League; Batman: Black & White; Harley Quinn: Black, White & Red; and much more. Head to Kickstarter to sign up for the pre-launch page ahead of the campaign’s launch.

After making a name for himself on titles like Human Target (with Len Wein), Push, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Bruno Redondo joined his Star Wars: Darth Maul collaborator Tom Taylor (DCeased, All-New Wolverine) to take the reins of Injustice: Gods Among Us, elevating a digital-first video game tie-in comic to a fan-favorite series with a fiercely devoted readership. The scope and tenure of the story also provided the perfect testing ground for Bruno to experiment with and hone his signature style of fluid, unencumbered pencil work combined with a precision sense of design. After Injustice’s conclusion, Bruno lent his name to other high-profile DC series, including Justice League (with Scott Snyder), Titans (with Dan Abnett), and Suicide Squad (again with Tom Taylor). Beginning with Nightwing #78, Bruno and Tom Taylor began what quickly became one of the seminal runs on comics’ first sidekick, Dick Grayson. Their take on the former Boy Wonder was refreshingly bright for a bat book, in both narrative tone and visual style, and put Dick in the comics spotlight for the first time in years. The unique kinetic language and attention to detail that Bruno brought to the character helped the series top itself month after month and, ultimately, earn Eisner Awards for Best Continuing Series and Best Single Issue. Bruno would also take home the Eisner for Best Cover Artist.

The DC Art of Bruno Redondo will feature a collection of Bruno’s extensive work with DC, as well as an introduction by Bruno’s frequent creative partner, #1 New York Times-bestselling writer Tom Taylor. The campaign will also feature extras, including rarely-seen sketches and commissions, Redondo’s Nightwing covers, a fold-out edition of the iconic Nightwing #87, a sticker pack, a poster pack, and more, available in Clover Press’ traditional options of hardcover, dust jacket, slipcase, and signed slipcase editions.

We have the exclusive reveal of the dust jacket which features some of Redondo’s amazing art. You can sign up now so you don’t miss out when it launches.
