Studios' Cowboys and Aliens.
Cowboys and Aliens was created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and published by
Platinum Studios in 2006 and was the number one graphic novel in America when
it was released. Back in 1997, the graphic novel outline was snatched up by
Dreamworks and Universal pictures.
The film adaptation has received a lot of buzz since it was first announced due

Grazer, Ron Howard, Kurtzman, Orci, and Rosenberg are producers, while Steven
Spielberg, Jon Favreau, Denis L. Stewart, Bobby Cohen, Ryan Kavanaugh, and
Randy Greenberg are executive producers.
Cowboys and Aliens will be released by DreamWorks / Universal Pictures on July
29, 2011 and stars the talented Daniel Craig (QUANTUM OF SOLACE, THE GOLDEN
COMPASS), Harrison Ford (INDIANA JONES, STAR WARS), and Olivia Wilde (TRON:
LEGACY, HOUSE).

BLADE OF KUMORI GN - (W) Ron Marz, Mark Poulton (A) Grafiksismik In the mid
19th century, the samurai disappeared forever from the face of the world. Or
did they? Blade of Kumori is the tale of present-day samurai, of warriors
steeped in honor carrying on their traditions in the modern world. It's also
the tale of a woman who discovers she is something more than a warrior --
perhaps even something more than human!

Academy is a school for young people chose to become guardians of mythical
creatures.
DIVINE INTERVENTION GN - (W) Frank J. Barbiere (A) J.C. Grande, Luke Radl Marc
Graham, a conflicted, contract killer, could hardly be considered a hero.
Things change when he stumbles into an ancient conflict between the Templar
agency, a clandestine organization that protects powerful artifacts from
falling into the wrong hands, and strange, demonic forces seeking to control
the world. After gaining mysterious, angelic powers from a freak accident Marc
must dive headfirst into a dangerous new world where he is hunted by deadly
monsters who will stop at nothing to unlock the secret of his new powers and
possess them for themselves.
HUMAN RESOURCES GN - (W) Michael Shear (A) Jerry Rascoe Mark never wanted to
work for a big evil corporation, but when he loses his job and knocks up his
girlfriend, he's forced to take a job from hell. Literally. As one of the only

office politics and supernatural creatures as he tries to save his soul without
losing his job.
OLD SCHOOL GN - (W) Robert Burke Richardson (A) Alan Gallo, Giuseppe Pica,
Kelly Ishikawa, Berny Julianto Old School is the story of retired heroes
returning to the world at large, and how heroism, and god ol' fashioned elbow
grease, can still make a difference in today's world.
THE ASSASSIN GN - (W/A) Vincente Fuentes Students from one of the top
International Schools in the country will have to face two of the most
challenging issues of their lives: murder and bigotry. It is said that the
recent deaths around the school have been assassinations and, intriguingly, a
geisha's kanzashi is always left behind at the scene.
ULTRADUCK GN - (W) Edgar Delgado (A) Omar Lozano, Humberto Ramos Carlos, a
regular duck living in the great city of Featherbay, just got dumped by his
girlfriend, his life as a freelance do-it-all is going nowhere and must make
some grown up decisions: to get a real job, get his girl back and stop
drinking. That is, until he gets super powers and becomes the only duck in the
world who can stop a powerful creature who's destroying the city on a vengeful
rampage, and an evil weapons manufacturing corporation who want his abilities.
