KRAMPUS! BRINGS THE YULETIDE CHEER IN DECEMBER


Unconventional hero saves Christmas in Image Comics graphic novel


He’s the Krampus, yuletide wielder of birch switches and punisher of wicked children, long locked up so that his particular brand of outdated discipline won’t ruin yet another Christmas. And he’s the unexpected hero of the Image Comics graphic novel KRAMPUS!, a jolly holiday romp by Brian Joines (Imagine Agents) and Dean Kotz (Charmed, Mask of the Red Panda).

Scheming Sugar Plum Fairies have stolen the Secret Society of Santa Clauses’ power, and the only one cunning enough to get it back is the Krampus. With his flying wolf Stutgaard, the Krampus sets out on a world-crossing mission, encountering other mythical figures of winter lore and uncovering a sinister scheme to topple the Santas. If it succeeds, it will change Christmas forever — and if Krampus succeeds in stopping it, so will he.


“I grew up with a kind of jaded, dark sense of humor and I love the idea of anything that punches holes in the bright and shiny ‘sacred cows’ of childhood and innocence, like Christmas,” said Joines in an interview at What’cha Reading?. “I think the Krampus is a figure that represents a rebellion against the false elements. In a lot of ways, it’s kind of cathartic.”


With raucous, action-packed art by Kotz and belly-laugh gags, KRAMPUS! arrives just in time for holiday cheer, in comic book stores on December 3 and bookstores on December 16. It is available for pre-order now.

Life of the Amazonia by Bad Comet Games Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Image
Bad Comet Games officially announced their followup to their first successful crowdfuding game Wild: Serengeti will be Life of the Amazonia. Bad Comet will also be renaming Wild: Serengeti to Life of the Serengeti due to trademark issues and to keep their nature themed games tied together. Life of the Amazonia is not a sequel  to Wild: Serengeti as the game is completely different in every way except that it carries on the beautiful Animal meeples everyone loved from Wild: Serengeti. As it is a game set in the Amazon Rainforest, Life of the Amazonia will invite you into the lush jungle of the Amazon to join in the mission of building an ecologically rich jungle. Every player will have their very own beautifully crafted jungle in front of their very eyes once the game concludes.
