Punchline Gets a Premium Format Figure from Sideshow

Posted on by Leave a comment

Spurred on by an obsession with The Joker, Alexis Kaye takes on the mantle of Punchline, a charismatic and manipulative Super-Villain. Although she has no metahuman powers, Punchline is adept at wielding her weapons and utilizes Joker Venom, along with other toxins.

Inspired by the character’s comic book appearance in The Joker War story arc, the Punchline Premium Format Figure and the Exclusive Edition by Sideshow in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP),  paint a cunning clown groupie in a chaotic, colorful light. This fully sculpted DC-themed collectible measures 21.75 inches (55.2 centimeters) tall, 11.14 inches (28.2 centimeters) wide, and 8.1 inches (20.5 centimeters) deep.

It’s a mad world, and she’s the solution. The Punchline Premium Format Figure presents Alexis Kaye as she carves out a place for herself within the coterie of Gotham City baddies. Both a lover and a hater, she takes her costume and makeup cues from The Joker while torturing torn toy versions of Harley Quinn and Batman— hey, every fangirl needs a hobby.

Punchline wears a ripped purple bodysuit, black dress and corset bodice, knee-high black boots, and a small black cape. She wields her preferred weapon in her right hand while standing upon a circular pedestal resembling wooden baseboard and tarnished brass. 

This detailed, quarter scale statueincludes two portraits: one neutral and enigmatic, the other devious. Each expression is accompanied by a long, high ponytail streaked with vivid blue.

The Exclusive Edition features a third alternate portrait, which shows Alexis sneering — both proud and pouting. This Sideshow exclusive edition has a different right arm configuration with a trick weapon balanced expertly and hidden from view.

Radicalize your shelf with the Punchline Premium Format Figure. Available to pre-order now!

Artist Drew Moss Drops Into ThunderCats X SilverHawks!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced an exciting surprise update to the ThunderCats X SilverHawks comic book crossover event. Fan-favorite artist Drew Moss is dropping in and will be joining the expansive creative team, as the ongoing interior artist for the flagship ThunderCats X SilverHawks series past the first issue.

Now expanding the cockpit back to a two-seater, Declan Shalvey welcomes Drew on board for more fun! The creative duo were at ground zero collaborating on ThunderCats #1 in February 2024 when it blew fans away and scorched up the charts. Comics franchise editor Nate Cosby tagged in a few guest creators for a string of acclaimed special breather issues between story arcs, but Moss was the powerhouse illustrating the vast majority of issues in the series for over two years, including several covers too. And he continues that signature association and run with the biggest story yet!

Following the un-spoiled events of the first issue and accompanying second and third chapters of the crossover in its companion titles, both the ThunderCats and SilverHawks squads find themselves reeling. The ‘Hawks descend upon Third Earth, with plans to apprehend every ‘Cat in sight. What they can’t account for is the ferocious feline instincts of Cheetara!

In addition to the pulse-pounding storytelling of Shalvey and Moss, ThunderCats X SilverHawks #2 sports electrifying covers by Shalvey, Lucio Parrillo, Eric Canete, Chuma Hill, and a piece from the animation archives.

Fans will not want to miss adding the essential fifth and sixth chapters of the crossover to their preorders and reading lists as well.

In Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #2 by Shalvey and Rapha Lobosco, the master sorcerer awakens in a land not his own — Second Earth! Caught in a land where he is ever-dying and ever-reviving, he must make a pact with the Ancient Spirits to learn their magics, and discover the dark cost of immortality.

Closing out the month of May, ThunderHawks #2 by Ed Brisson and Vincenzo Federici chronicles the now SilverHawks armor-clad ‘Cats crew lost in space and time making preparations to escape from the dystopian future they’re trapped within. It will take a massive diversion, considerable power… and a sacrifice that will rock the team and the entire comics franchise to its core!

The new Ben 10 Comic Series Debuts in May!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Following the initial announcement at New York Comic Con, Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have revealed further details for the hotly anticipated return of Ben 10 via comic books!

The franchise’s original creators, the fabulous foursome of Man of Action Entertainment (MOA) are all set to return to the character and mythos in this new comic book series that fans have been anxiously awaiting! Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle all come from an initial background in comics, before they joined together to form a powerhouse collective for comics, animation, television, film, and beyond.

This new era of Ben 10 comic books kicks off this May with an initial story arc led by Joe Casey and artist Robert Carey. The collective MOA team will drive the stories in the comic series, with individual partners taking turns scripting story arcs as the title progresses. Future tales from Kelly, Rouleau, and Seagle will be announced as they come around, offering fans new and old exciting visions of the franchise!

Casey’s first salvo sets the foundation for this new approach with a revamped origin story, a straightforward, action-oriented take on Ben Tennyson and his adventures. Updating the concept for a modern aesthetic and sensibility, both those who grew up with the series and newcomers will get the definitive new Ben 10 experience directly from the creators. A wider range of tones and themes will be explored, from drama, comedy, to tragedy, and even the surreal.

Ben Tennyson and his family are out camping, when a meteor crashes nearby. When the inquisitive boy investigates, he finds the mysterious Omnitrix among the wreckage. From that moment, a new superhero is born! This new telling of will allow Casey and team to expand the scale and scope of these pivotal, beloved moments. A range of “real world” impacts will be explored, with the military getting peripherally involved and a bona fide alien threat.

From there, the series will proceed in a manner similar to classic superhero comics, building the mythology slowly and surely, with approachable short story arcs. The Man of Action team will be able to pull from the entirety of Ben 10 iterations through the years, picking the coolest components, favorites from the rogues’ gallery, all the while revamping and establishing a deeper continuity.

The fiery first issue of Ben 10 debuts May 6, and is complemented by a range of variant covers matching the collaborative nature of the franchise and this series. Interior artist Robert Carey illustrates a cover, alongside Man of Action partner Duncan Rouleau, plus Dustin Nguyen, Sebastian Piriz, and Eric Canete. Collectors can opt for a mystery blind bag offering, containing one limited edition of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusively available this way. Fans can also get a Blank Authentix so they can draw their own Ben 10 aliens, or get a custom sketch at a convention from their favorite artists or those involved in the series!

After The End, Everything is Over in Rick and Morty Forever #0 – A Double-Sized, 48-Page Comic Book Milestone Farewell Coming in May!

Posted on by

Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced Rick and Morty Forever #0 – a gargantuan, 48-page spectacular bidding fond farewell to Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith’s 100+ comic book issue run at Oni as we hurtle them back into the void from which they came in one last shamelessly transparent promotional stunt arriving on May 27th from nigh-omnipotent writer Daniel Kibblesmith and franchise über-veteran Troy Little! Plus: In one last expectation-defying fit of pique, this double-sized, super-key, ultra-milestone and soon-to-be-slabbed testament to greatness features the most surprising twist of all: only one cover! Even better: It’s a wraparound (!!) etched into immortality in stunning silver foil (!!!) as rendered by the incomparable Troy Little (!!!!) himself! 

Yes, the rumors are true (because we keep announcing them ourselves) Oni Press, unsatisfied with the end of THE END proudly presents Rick and Morty Forever, the final issue of Oni Press’ immortal run on the sci-fi, dimension-hopping, foul-mouthed, pretentiously beautiful, intellectual temper tantrum turned cultural phenomenon known as Rick and Morty.

How do you punish the smartest man in the universe? Show him everything—everything—he’s ever wanted to know or see, and afford him no power to do anything about it. Rick Sanchez, the destroyer of worlds. Now he sits in endless observation of all there is to see, tortured by cosmic impotence, the ultimate expression of “go to your room and think about what you did.”

But in his endless torment, Rick realizes that a fate of unspeakable horror also awaits his unwitting companion: his grandson, Morty. Can Rick save the soul of the only being that ever stood by him through all his indiscretions? Can the transformative power of love give rise to the triumph of the human spirit? Or is everything just #@$%@?

Oni Press celebrates an honest-to-goodness comic book milestone more than a decade in the making as Rick and Morty Forever #0 portals into comic shops for one last hurrah in a 48-page barrage of shock and awe – and sporting just one foil-licous cover from omniversal legend Troy Little – arriving on May 27th! 

Plus, also in May: Before FOREVER seals the deal on this eternal goodbye, Daniel Kibblesmith and Jarrett Wiliams begin their final statement on Rick on and Morty’s wildly off-the-rails mentor-pupil relationship in Rick and Morty: The End #5 (of 5) – on sale April 8! Does that make Rick and Morty Forever #0 an actual finale or more of a denouement? Only your local comic shop retailer knows for sure – be sure to ask them, they love this question!

Aquaman rises from the abyss with Sideshow’s Lord of the Deep Premium Format Figure

Posted on by

Sideshow’s Mythos collection captures the limitless, untold potential of fan-favorite characters across many multiverses. As a collection, Mythos adds unique artistic storytelling to the most popular fictional people and places, taking key themes and expanding them into anything our imagination can conceive of.

In collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the Aquaman: Lord of the Deep Premium Format Figure by Sideshow utilizes eldritch horror elements to tell a tale of an aging Arthur Curry whose body has melded with his watery home. Measuring 26 inches tall, 16 inches wide, and 15.3 inches deep, Aquaman rises from the trenches into a base of tumultuous, translucent waves. Barnacles and flesh, kelp and costume, all appear indiscernible at every angle as he becomes one with the creatures and environment he has sworn to protect. Whether his sacred duty has transformed him into a beast or a savior is a question best left to the sea and sand.
 
Inspired by the character’s comic book appearance, this fully sculpted statue presents an eerie guardian covered in crustaceans, fish scales, and other cold-blooded components. Distressed metallic paint on his rusted armor echoes a shipwreck long forgotten in the cold, unforgiving ravines of the ocean floor. Aquaman wields a weathered gold trident while he marches forward, braced for battle and bearing all the scars of his past. A red squid joins him from fathoms deep, and as the hero’s own green tentacles join it, man becomes myth … becomes monster.
 
Let the tide carry the Aquaman: Lord of the Deep Premium Format Figure to your collection. Available to pre-order now.

Rick and Morty’s Maniacal Manga Comic Book Manifestation Returns in Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 2: After-School Science Club

Posted on by

WILL MORTY’S MANGA-INSPIRED MACHINATIONS LEAD TO ROMANCE OR MAKE TROUBLE FOR THE MULTIVERSE? In their first manga comic book appearance, Rick and Morty went toe to toe with a giant naked Jerry. Now, they’re ready for an even greater challenge: high school romance and after-school activities! Oni Press in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, is proud to share a madness-inducing first look at Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 2: After-School Science Club! From two of the hottest creators in the American manga scene, writer Josh Tierney and artist JeyOdin comes a story of teen love, school pride, and extracurricular international warfare!

When Morty falls in love at first sight with the new exchange student from Japan—Chigusa—and she shows him her favorite manga about after-school clubs, he knows just the advisor for his hastily constructed new Science Club: Rick Sanchez. With his ragtag group of teen losers (plus Chigusa) and a cursory knowledge of Japanese school clubs he picked up from skimming Morty’s manga, Rick leads the club in a competition against the preexisting, sanctioned, totally normal Science Club, creating a portal to Akihabara, nexus of anime and manga culture, and famous home of Tokyo’s maid cafés. Brimming with inspiration from their trip (and chased out of the country by the maids who have turned on Rick) the Science Club prepares for their school festival with a maid café of their own making—a science maid café selling questionable concoctions.

Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 2: After-School Science Club is due out on February 24.

Dynamite reveals the ThunderCats X SilverHawks Crossover!

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have unveiled the key creative and story details for the kickoff of the 15-part interconnected epic comics story ThunderCats X SilverHawks. Now, with so many superstars involved, the full slate of variant covers across all three involved titles is revealed!

Ed Brisson and Declan Shalvey are writing this historic crossover. Fans who have been longtime fans of his, and even those continuing here from his preceding prolific run on the flagship ThunderCats series know Declan is also an artistic powerhouse. His three covers across ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1, and ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks were shown in the initial announcement for this event. One additional way his art is being showcased is a sweet incentive cover featuring his layouts for his story. This is a novel collectible for fans of the behind the scenes process of comics creation, and an exclusive look at this side of storytelling.

On other covers, Shalvey is joined by familiar favorites from the ongoing ThunderCats and SilverHawks comics era, as well as shining stars making their first contributions to the comic book franchise. 

ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1 also features covers by Lucio Parrillo, Eric Canete, and Ben Oliver.

To portray the powerful archnemesis for Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1, artists Rapha Lobosco, Danny Earls, John Amor, and Erica D’Urso join the ‘Cats crew.

Meanwhile to add to the fun of perhaps the most enigmatic of the three titles, Vincenzo Federici, Ivan Tao, Marco Failla, and Alessandro Ranaldi craft covers for ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1.

In addition to all these juggernauts of comics, each issue also offers a fun animation cover, capturing the nostalgic memory of the original beloved show. Mumm-Ra #1 also adds an illustrated piece from the Warner Bros. Discovery vault. 

The iconic voice of Lion-O himself, Larry Kenney, will also be signing ultra-limited covers available on each series.

Mystery blind bag offerings are also available on the titles, which are set to include additional surprise variants!

ThunderCats and SilverHawks Unite for the First Time in April 2026

Posted on by

The story everyone has been waiting for is finally here! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced a historic comics crossover event 40 years in the making. ThunderCats X SilverHawks kicks off this April with a trio of interconnected comic book titles telling a thrilling 15-part epic story from top creators as the pinnacle of over two years of revitalized storytelling. Civilizations collide in the crossover of the millennium, as writers Declan Shalvey and Ed Brisson pick up the pieces and ramp up threads from nearly 60 issues of new tales across the ThunderCats and SilverHawks mythos, cresting to a can’t-miss climactic crossover for dedicated diehards, and an approachable starting-point thrill ride for those intrigued by this blockbuster.

Critically acclaimed author and illustrator Declan Shalvey kicked off this whole era with the records-setting ThunderCats #1, and here he continues his signature contributions to the saga by not only writing, but also drawing the first issue of the flagship series starting in ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1. This follows the conclusion of the milestone ThunderCats #25 and the setup special ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Road to War. Extra-sized with 30 story pages, the kickoff chapter starts it all with a bang.

Panthro of the ThunderCats’ mission to launch a new satellite high above his adoptive home of Third Earth resulted in an unexpected turn of events that will change the destiny of two entire galaxies. Alerted to an anomaly at a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector, The Copper Kid, Quicksilver, and Chromium of the SilverHawks set out to investigate. As soon as they land on the forbidden planet, they’re confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors — and quickly find themselves in a fight for their lives!

The second series and part two starts with ThunderCats X SilverHawks: Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1. Shalvey also scripts this look at the archnemesis of the entire franchise, alongside artist Rapha Lobosco. Mumm-Ra has been a sinister enigma to the ‘Cats ever since they first set their paws on Third Earth, and now the full ancient and tortured history of the infamous devil-priest will be revealed! While interweaving with the ever-evolving 15-part epic, this series dually functions as an essential origin for fans.

Following his fan-favorite chronicles of the SilverHawks, the ThunderCats Lost team, and a string of scintillating specials, writer Ed Brisson writes the third title involved in the crossover, joined by artist Vincenzo Federici. ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1 follows events from ThunderCats: Lost in Time and the Road to War special, starting with the Lost team trapped in the far future desperately trying to get back home and prevent the cataclysmic war that could end all of ‘Cat-kind. They’ll find themselves donning SilverHawks bionic suits and fighting in this unknown, hostile space and time.

Each month from April through August 2026 will feature a new chapter from all three titles, continuing to build and complement each other to form the ultimate ThunderCats and SilverHawks legend and celebration of these fabled franchises.

ThunderCats The Roleplaying Game

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have launched a roleplaying tabletop game book based on the world of the ThunderCats. It’s available to preorder now on Kickstarter!

Tabletop game studio Lynnvander Studios has designed and written this campaign and setting book compatible with 5e. Lynnvander luminaries including Tommy Gofton, Devin Wilson, Bryan CP Steele, Josh Derksen, and Adam Petkovic have all contributed to this project. This follows their previous collaborations with Dynamite such as the Reanimator game, and countless other licensed adventures and original creations that have established their glowing reputation with gamers.

Across nearly 250 pages of mechanics and lore, featuring official artwork and masterful design, gamers can live their own adventures ripped from their Saturday morning memories or the latest blockbuster official comic books from Dynamite. Harnessing the power of Thundrillium, players will sustain their technology, pilot starships through cosmic storms, wield enchanted armaments and ancient spells. On the plains of Third Earth, laser rifles and mystic blades alike clash, wizards and robots duel, and vital resources include both raw courage and energy cells. This indispensable tome brings the action, spectacle, and excitement of ThunderCats to the tabletop setting and game nights for many years to come.

For hardcore ‘Cats fans, it’s also stuffed full of rich reference material and visions of the franchise, enjoyable in many ways even just for a read! Within, readers will find information on the Code of Thundera, artifacts including the Book of Omens and Eye of Thundera, major history from the Great Migration, war with Plun-Darr, exodus to Third Earth, and the rise of Mumm-Ra.

Through the character creation process, players can pick from among newly created subclasses like the Mechanist, Path of Collision, College of Omens, Ancient Spirits of Evil and Good Domain, Circle of the Croft, Operator, Warrior of the Claw, Oath of Destiny, Evil-Chaser, Heckler, Metamorphosis Sorcery, Mongor Patron, and Magician. Then a wide variety of character backgrounds are presented, with the “open book” design also allowing creative players to craft their own. Thunderian builds can opt to be strong, fast, tough, clever, wise, or proud in establishing their appearance and abilities. Those looking for some extra fun or unique playstyle can play as Humans, Snarfs, Berbils, Snowfolk, Tuska, and even Mu’Tants (with multiple factions and forms available!). Countless further abilities, stats, and mechanics then follow ensuring each and every adventure offers a unique experience.

Character bios and full skills and stats are also available for nearly every established character from the existing ThunderCats mythos, either to encounter and ally with during players’ journeys or to adapt their build and embody their favorites. This includes the likes of Lion-O, Cheetara, Bengali, Tygra, Jaga, Lynx-O, Panthro, Pumyra, WilyKat, WilyKit, Snarf, and even plenty of villainous icons.

The book also details settings from Third Earth, New Thundera, and across the cosmos. Even other dimensions are broken down and able to be explored through gameplay. A vast range of equipment and vehicles are also explored in the book, with them all accessible on adventures. The book comes complete with visuals and a comprehensive index.

Available now on Kickstarter, the book is available in three unique editions. The base hardcover version features David Nakayama‘s gorgeous and instantly-iconic cover for ThunderCats #1 which kicked off the Dynamite era of new stories in comic books. A further limited edition printing takes Nakayama’s masterful illustration, focuses on Lion-O, puts him in front of a bursting franchise logo, and shines with red accents. This makes it not only an awesome tome for all things ThunderCats gaming, but also a rare and hard to find collectible. Last but certainly not least, fans can opt for a top-of-the-line leatherbound presentation. Featuring the ThunderCats logo emblazoned upon the cover. Only 1,985 copies are being produced of this most ultimate version, in tribute to the debut year of the franchise.

The Kickstarter is live for a limited time, so fans are encouraged to pledge now and lock their copy in before the year closes, especially if they want one of the limited edition editions!
