And that they would be doing this with three new titles The Accessories by David Dastmalchian, Leah Kilpatrick and Patrick Piazzalunga, Razor Gray by Nir Levie, Don't Turn Out The Light by Tom Fyans and Felipe Watanabe, and T.A.M.A.: The Compannial by Catherine Corcoran, Ashley Witter, Sherard Jackson, Daniel HDR, Brendan Columbus, Alex Segura, Agnes Garbowska and Mike Kunkel.

And they took to the stage at ComicsPRO, the comic book retailer event being held, and they had David Dastmalchian ofThe Dark Knight, Suicide Squad, Gotham, The Flash, Blade Runner 2049, Dune Murderbot, Dexter: Resurrection, and One Piece, and Leah Kilpatrick (also of Murderbot) in full Frankenstein make-up to promote their new comic book title, The Accessories. 

David Dastmalchian: Grrrrr. Do you ever have that boss you just wanted to kill?
Leah Kilpatrick: I have.
David Dastmalchian: Imagine if your boss has you out running around town all hours of the night collecting corpses or non-consensual blood donors, brains, or just doing all of the calculations and the heavy lifting while he's out enjoying the high life
Leah Kilpatrick: And you did all that work because he or they promised you immortality, a perfect body or even just some recognition, you know,  even just spelling your name correctly, it's actually been like a really big…
David Dastmalchian: Don't… don't get her started, Stop! Our story, The Accessories, is the story of what happens when the henchman have had enough and finally flee their monster masters.
Leah Kilpatrick: Our story takes place in 1930s London, where you will fall in love, or maybe despise, our three (you're going to love them) heroes, Igor, Renfield, and we're introducing Mrs Hyde. So buy it? Is that what we're doing here?
David Dastmalchian: Order it and then stock it so people can buy it.
Leah Kilpatrick: So you guys put stuff on the shelves?
David Dastmalchian: That's how it works.
Leah Kilpatrick: Okay,  I don't know, they just told me to show up.
David Dastmalchian: The Accessories. Thank you.
