Get ready."

"Hookjaw" Swims Again at Titan Comics

HOOKJAW RESURFACES AT TITAN COMICS

THE CLASSIC KILLER GREAT WHITE -  REIMAGINED BY COMICS SUPERSTAR SI SPURRIER & RISING STAR CONOR BOYLE

Titan Comics are thrilled to announce the release of a brand-new Hookjaw mini-series, the publisher announced at Friday's San Diego Comic-Con International Diamond Retailer presentation.

Hitting stores in December 2016, the five issue mini-series is written by comics fire-cracker Si Spurrier (Cry Havoc, Weavers, Doctor Who, Numbercruncher) and illustrated by rising star Conor Boyle, with colors by Giulia Brusco and edited by legendary British comics editor and marine life expert artist, Steve White.

The mini-series is set to be an intense modern iteration of the titular ocean predator, which debuted in legendary British comic (and forerunner to 2000AD) Action #1. Initially inspired by the success of the film, Jaws, Hookjaw was one of many Action strips so violent it was banned from the shelves upon release! 

“I've wanted to do a Hookjaw story as long as I've been making comics,” gushed A-list writer Si Spurrier. “Social, complex, intelligent and exceptionally good at what it does, today's Hookjaw arrives like a shadow amidst a catalogue of zoologists, soldiers, spies and Somali Pirates. Every person involved thinks they're the hero of the story. They're all wrong.”

As the series synopsis indicates, this creative team are pushing this new iteration into completely uncharted water.

Off the coast of Somalia, a rag-tag group of marine scientists are studying the Virgin Brides, a pack of female great white. What secrets are laying at the bottom of the Indian Ocean? And just how will they face up to the shadowy terror of the legendary great white – HOOKJAW?!

Hookjaw #1 will be on sale in comic stores and digital devices from December 2016 and is available to order from the October edition of PREVIEWS.

Dark Horse Comics Celebrates 2016 Eisner Award for Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba

Moon & Bá’s “Two Brothers” Wins Eisner for Best Adaptation

MILWAUKIE, OR — This past Friday, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá, the Eisner Award–winning and New York Times best-selling duo behind Neil Gaiman's How to Talk to Girls at Parties, received the Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium for their critically acclaimed graphic novel Two Brothers.

Twin brothers Omar and Yaqub may share the same features, but they could not be more different from one another. After a brutally violent exchange between the young boys, Yaqub is sent from his home in Brazil to live with relatives in Lebanon, only to return five years later as a virtual stranger to the parents who bore him, his tensions with Omar unchanged. Family secrets engage the reader in this profoundly resonant story about identity, love, loss, deception, and the dissolution of blood ties.

Dark Horse also celebrated two awards shared with other publishers.

The award for Best Coloring went to Jordie Bellaire, for The Autumnlands, Injection, Plutona, Pretty Deadly, The Surface, They’re Not Like Us, Zero (Image); The X-Files (IDW); The Massive (Dark Horse); and Magneto, Vision (Marvel).

The winner in the Best Digital/Webcomic category was Bandette, by Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover (Monkeybrain/comiXology, collected in print by Dark Horse). A costumed teen burglar by the nome d’arte of Bandette and her group of street urchins find equal fun both in skirting and aiding the law. This is the second Eisner for Bandette following a win in 2013.

Artists Colleen Coover (Bandette) and Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer, Brides of Helheim) were the women with the most nominations in a record-breaking year for female creators, with three each. Dark Horse’s Lady Killer, by Jamie S. Rich and Joëlle Jones, was nominated for Best New Series, and Jones was also nominated for Best Penciller/Inker and Best Cover Artist. The book also shared a coloring nod for Laura Allred.

Dark Horse’s other nominees included Harrow County (Best New Series) and Nanjing: The Burning City (Best Graphic Album—New).

Named for acclaimed comics creator Will Eisner, the awards are celebrating their twenty-eighth year of highlighting the best publications and creators in comics and graphic novels.

Congratulations to all winners and nominees.

Additional praise for Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá’s Two Brothers:

“Beautiful, poignant.” —THE AV CLUB

"...come and see what flavor of genius the Brazilian-based brothers have crafted from the work of Milton Hatoum.” —COMICS BEAT

“Beautifully rendered.” —PASTE MAGAZINE
