ComicsPRO screencap

At the ComicsPRO retailer event at San Diego Comic-Con last week, Kris Longo Wongo from Panic Entertainment led with the book, saying, "We're really excited to talk to you today about the accessories. We've had a blast collaborating with Rocketship, David Dastmalchian, and Leah Kilpatrick on this title. We announced it two years ago at San Diego Comic-Con, and we're about one-and-a-half, 2 weeks away from our on-sale date. August 5th. We're really excited to also announce that we're teeing up a second printing of Accessories number one with a great new black and white Lucas Ketner cover. So look for details on that. This is a really great book that is nasty, gory, but full of heart and a lot of fun. It imagines what happens to the classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein and Doctor Jekyll, what happens when the assistants have had enough of their owner's crap, and they revolt, and it is a lot of fun. We have a great row of cover artists on this, with Lucas Ketner on cover A, the great Tim Seeley on cover B, Matthew Seaborne on cover C, cover D and E incentive with Joel Herrera, who is doing an homage to the original 1930s monster movie posters. So we appreciate the support on the first issue. You guys are gonna love the remaining three issues, and keep an eye out for the second printing of issue number one." Well, Bleeding Cool has you sorted below…

  • ACCESSORIES #1 (MR)
    (W) David Dastmalchian, Leah Kilpatrick (A) Patrick Piazzalunga (CA) Lukas Ketner
    From fan-favorite actor, director DAVID DASTMALCHIAN (Late Night with the Devil, Dune, Street Fighter, Count Crowley, Creature Commandos) and LEAH KILPATRICK (Murderbot, DC Horror Presents) comes the darkly comedic THE ACCESSORIES. After lifetimes in the background, three of history's greatest horror sidekicks finally say what they've never dared to before: Enough is ENOUGH! Igor, Renfield, and Mrs. Hyde have aided their masters' diabolical missions for decades, but today is the day they stop being loyal. Today the real horror walks out the front door. The looming question is… what do they do now? These three discarded servants find each other in the fallout, forming a band of gawky but determined anti-heroes caught between angry villagers, vengeful monster-hunters and furious former employers. Their survival will take more than just guts… luckily, they know where to procure more.

EMPIRIA #6 (MR)
(W) David K. Wilson (A/CA) Jacques Salmon
Series Description: In the kingdom of Empiria, modern times have come. Now, anyone can have the power of a wizard by using magic crystals. They can power a magic mirror to talk with a friend across the kingdom, tune into your favorite show, or power a magic broom. Princess Mae didn't spend her entire life studying magic just to be a shill for her father's crystal business. He gets rich off his people while doing nothing to make their lives better. She made the sacrifice to have real power so she can protect her people, not exploit them. In Dragon City, Randy, a punk rock unicorn, is just trying to take the subway home. There it is. That look. He hates that look. These old timer unicorns were born before the Reformation. They must have had their horns taken by dragons. When they were young, by the look of it. Now they view the youngest generation with both pride and envy. The crops are failing, the cows skinny, and jobs are scarce. Justin lost his job at the dairy a few months ago. That doesn't stop his elf neighbor from stopping by every night to drink his beer. Watch his mirror. Burn through his crystals. Then Petra shows up at Justin's favorite bar. Why would a pretty lady like her be interested in a down-on-his-luck ex-farmer? She is the best thing to happen to him in years. Issue 6 Description: Justin has a revelation, Mae and Dingo explore N'Guruwe while Randy teams up with Freyagina. Writer/Creator: David K. Wilson Artist: Jacques Salomon Letterer: Scott O.
