On shelves in January 2009, Studio 407 presents Shadow Chronicles, a bloodcurdling collection of all-new horror tales! A bloodthirsty vampire plagues 18th Century Europe - and a modern-day movie theater. In the farthest reaches of space, the crew of a research vessel is absconded by the military for a mission to a desolate planet of pure terror. And a small town is beset both by demons and the elite paramilitary squad tasked with destroying them! But which force is scarier? Find out in Shadow Chronicles, Studio 407's first ever anthology book, which affords readers a sneak peak at their most terrifying new comics!
ComicMonsters.com says "Studio 407’s first ever anthology delivers a taste of the bloody good time that lies ahead. Studio 407 will be a force to reckon with for quite some time."
"Netherworld was one of those ideas that sort of took me over creatively. One of those ideas that got its hooks in and wouldn't let go until it was finished." Says Netherworld writer Chad Jones. " I hate to say it wrote itself, because I definitely remember hitting keys."
"I've spent most of my professional life working in movies and TV. It's been great having the opportunity to take what I've learned about how to be scary on screen and expand that into the realm of the graphic novel." Says Demon Squad writer Neil Marshall Stevens.
Robert Heske and Diego Yapura are the writer/artist team on Night Projectionist. Chad Jones and R.B. Silva on Netherworld and Neil Marshall Stevens and Rafael Ortiz are the team on Demon Squad.
Pre-order now! Shadow Chronicles is scheduled to be in stores on January 21, 2009.

STUDIO 407 UNLEASHES GOLEM
This January, Studio 407 unleashes Golem, an all-new kind of anti-hero, where magic and might combine into an unstoppable force. Brilliantly illustrated by Mark Louie Vuycankiat and written by Scott Barkman and Jeff Lee. Studio 407 is known for their critically acclaimed comic series Night and Fog, and Hybrid, which has been optioned for a feature film with Myriad Pictures (Jeepers Creepers)
"Golem is a blend of Frankenstein and Hellboy, laced with a bit of humor and social commentary" says Golem writer Jeff Lee." Golem is definitely a take-no-prisoners kind of character with a black-and-white/Punisher-like attitude toward stomping on evil."
Ain't It Cool News says "Golem is another winner from Studio 407"
Golem is described as: When the Balkan conflict tears Sarajevo apart, Srdjan Zivojin, a professor of occult studies, creates a golem of immeasurable power to protect the cities inhabitants from persecution. But the novice magician soon discovers that creating a golem is one thing, but wielding one is another thing altogether. The creature not only has a mind of its own, it intends to crush evil, no matter what the consequences are or the collateral damage that results. Armed with a hair trigger temper, Golem is ready to blaze a path of retribution and destruction.
Pre-order now! Golem is scheduled to be in stores on January 28, 2009.
Full Color 32 pages $3.99 one-shot DCD item # NOV084262.
