December 13, 2010 – Los Angeles, CA – This March, Hell comes to BOOM! Studios as master of horror Clive Barker writes the newest chilling installment of his signature creation with the new HELLRAISER ongoing series! Joined by co-writer Christopher Monfette and HELLBLAZER artist Leonardo Manco, Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER #1 features covers by Tim Bradstreet and Nick Percival. The release of HELLRAISER #1 ongoing will be joined that same month by HELLRAISER: MASTERWORKS VOL. 1, the first in a series reprinting the hard-to-find Marvel Comics-era Hellraiser stories. To herald the HELLRAISER: MASTERWORKS series, HELLRAISER #1 will be an epic, oversized 40-page debut that includes a story by THE MATRIX co-writer & co-director Larry Wachowski — ripped from the HELLRAISER: MASTERWORKS series.

The debut volume of the HELLRAISER: MASTERWORKS series sees a slew of spine-tingling Pinhead tales by such creators as Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Mike Mignola, Alex Ross & more, with cover by John Bolton!

“Beyond being a legendary creator of all things macabre, Clive Barker is truly an amazing individual and I’m proud to be able to work with him on reviving one of his most celebrated creations with HELLRAISER,” said Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “I’ve known Clive for years, but this is the first chance we’ve had to work together and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been unbelievably gratifying to develop this series and witness the visceral, relentless, and shocking story that Clive has in store for a new generation of horror fans. Readers beware! Hell comes home this March!”

Clive Barker has “touched” HELLRAISER only twice before: once to write THE HELLBOUND HEART, and once more to write and direct the original HELLRAISER film. With the HELLRAISER ongoing series, witness Barker’s long-awaited return to tell a new chapter in the series’ official continuity—a trajectory that will forever change the Cenobites…and Pinhead! So prepare your soul for an epic journey into horror from one of the medium’s greatest voices, and starring one of the medium’s greatest characters, in an unforgettable new chapter of HELLRAISER.

Joining the HELLRAISER ongoing series in March is the debut of HELLRAISER: MASTERWORKS VOL. 1, a collection of classic HELLRAISER tales that will light your soul on fire!

You will not want to miss this first volume in a series that will assemble the best HELLRAISER comics that have ever been!

HELLRAISER #1 ships as an oversized 40-page issue in March with A & B covers in a 50/50 split with art by Tim Bradstreet and Nick Percival respectively, as well as a very special 1-in-50 incentive cover drawn and signed by legendary master of horror Clive Barker.

Bulletstorm Demo

BULLETSTORM
Release Date: 02/22/11
Developer: EPIC GAMES
Publisher: EA Games



I downloaded the demo through XBL today and WOW. Over-the-top kills every where. I've played through the demo level about a dozen times, earning a 3 star rating and racked up kills such as:

VooDoo Doll: impale an enemy on surroundings
Fireworks: send an enemy into the atmosphere with a rocket
Intoxicated: Kill while drunk (Really.)
Shocker: Electrocution
Rear Entry: Self-explanatory (Maybe.)
Gang Bang: Multi-kills
Grenade Bag: Multi kill with mines
Mercy: Shot a dude in the bean-bag then decapitated him. (Nice.)

I think you see where this is headed...More EPIC violence from EPIC Games.

Per Gamestop.com: Players that purchase the Epic Edition are guaranteed early access to the Gears of War 3 beta. In addition to access to the beta, the Epic Edition gives players bonus in-game Bulletstorm content when playing online, including 25,000 experience points, visual upgrades for their iconic leash, deadly Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor.

SuperBowl Sunday

Steelers. Packers.

The game can bear witness to the personal redemption of Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and professional redemption of Green Bay signal-caller Aaron Rodgers. But even their particular subplots, intriguing as they may be, pale in comparison to the organizations they play for.

There are nine Super Bowl titles between the two clubs, with one more on the way. The memories of Vince Lombardi's powerhouses of the 1960's and Chuck Noll's dynasty of the '70s have been modified by more recent snapshots of Desmond Howard, Jerome Bettis and Santonio Holmes.

"You come here and see the pictures on the wall," said Steelers defensive lineman Chris Hoke. "Joe Greene and all those great guys on defense. Terry Bradshaw on offense, Franco Harris, there's too many to name.

"You know there's a standard here, and you know that winning is an expectation. You're not hoping to win -- you're expecting to win here."

On Sunday, others will step forward to meet those expectations and take a similar place in history. Or, in the case of a select few, cement their legacy as an all-time great.

One of those players is Roethlisberger, who, in just his seventh season, is already looking for a third championship. A win would put him in the esteemed company of Troy Aikman and Tom Brady, and just one behind the quarterback record of four, set by Bradshaw and Joe Montana.

But this one would be a little different, of course, as he overcame a tumultuous year marred by sexual assault allegations, trade speculation and a season-opening four-game suspension. Through it all, he seemed to change his ways off the field while still maintaining his stellar record of consistent winning between the sidelines.

"He's matured a whole lot," said receiver Antwaan Randle El, who returned to Pittsburgh (14-4) this season after spending the last four in Washington. "And that's evident from the first Super Bowl he played in to the one he played in '08. A very different quarterback."

His counterpart, Rodgers, has no such image problems -- and no Super Bowl rings. Yet, for the first time in his pro career, he was able to step outside the long shadow cast by predecessor Brett Favre, build upon the individual successes of seasons past and translate his prodigious talent into big-game victories.

"I think he's definitely the quarterback we all hoped he would become," coach Mike McCarthy said. "He was a young talented quarterback, had a very bright future, and now we're in year three of his development and he's definitely developed into a special player."

But the biggest test still remains. And it will be against a league-best defense that has done more than its part in carrying on the legacy of the Steel Curtain -- with some stellar secondary play, to boot.

The unit held opponents to an NFL-low 14.5 points per game in the regular season and allowed just 62.8 yards per game on the ground -- an amazing 27.3 yards less than the next-best team. Despite those numbers, it was a player from its backfield that walked away with defensive player of the year honors.

Though he missed two games to injury, Troy Polamalu tied for second in the league with seven interceptions -- and rattled off countless other bone-jarring hits -- which played a huge role in turning a number of close games Pittsburgh's way.

"You want to know where he's at on the field at all times because a guy like that, he's huge in making those game-changing plays and you don't want to give him the opportunity to do that, especially on this stage, because it'll ignite their team," said Green Bay wideout Greg Jennings.

Luckily for the Packers (13-6), they have their own defensive playmaker in Clay Matthews, who was nipped by Polamalu for the player of the year award. Despite all the press Rodgers and his fleet of receivers get for lighting up the scoreboard, Green Bay's defense finished second in the league in points and fifth in yards allowed.

"How fitting is it to be a Green Bay Packer and win the championship with defense? That sums it up right there," said nose tackle B.J. Raji, whose interception for a touchdown two weeks ago in Chicago played a critical role in getting the Packers to Dallas.

Raji will go up against a Steelers front five that will be without rookie Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey. Pouncey suffered a high ankle sprain early in the AFC title game against the Jets, and, despite his best efforts at rehab, has been ruled out.

Doug Legursky will again fill in for Pouncey after doing a respectable job opening holes for Rashard Mendenhall against a formidable New York line. In some ways, stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight is a theme that runs through this game, from players to coaches.

Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin and Green Bay's McCarthy have separated themselves from the ghosts of Cowher and Holmgren past and created their own identity in these franchises' storied histories.

"I am very conscious of the legacy that is the Pittsburgh Steelers," said Tomlin. "I simply want to add to it. That drives me on a daily basis. I have big respect for the men who have had this job before me.

"All I want to do is to do the job in terms of upholding the standard that is the Pittsburgh Steelers."

Come Sunday, he'll get his chance.
