Hard Copy: Cyberpunk 2077 Omnibus Volume 1 Coming from Dark Horse Comics

Dark Horse Comics, in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red, presents a new paperback omnibus collection of the first three Cyberpunk 2077 comics series based on the hit video game including stories from the writer of Netflix’s hit anime series Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners. Featuring new characters from the world of Cyberpunk 2077 as well as a cover gallery and sketchbook section.

 

“This first Omnibus shows why Cyberpunk 2077 is a very diverse universe,” says writer Sztybor. “Perfect for writers, where you can create an action packed story about trauma, vengeance tale about family and trust or a heist narrative about addictions. All these stories mix a popular genre with a deeper meaning, its always brutal, fun, exciting but it also tells you something about today’s world. That’s why I love Cyberpunk 2077 and that Omnibus – it’s a wild science-fiction ride that will leave you both excited and thinking about yourself and the world”.

Vids: Eureka Entertainment Announces the Release of The Valiant Ones on 4K UHD & Blu-ray

Eureka Entertainment announces the May 28 release of The Valiant Ones, King Hu’s last great masterpiece from the golden age of wuxia cinema. Presented from a brand new 4K restoration on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, and part of the Masters of Cinema Series, the first print run of 2000 copies of each format in each territory will feature a Limited edition O-card slipcase.

The Valiant Ones is perhaps the last true wuxia film directed by celebrated Taiwanese filmmaker King Hu, an undisputed master of the genre. Shot back-to-back with The Fate of Lee Khan (but not released until two years later), it stands as a worthy follow-up to his earlier works Come Drink with Me, Dragon Inn and A Touch of Zen.
