Hello Dark Horse fans!

Well, another week has come and gone and here at Dark Horse we are still feeling the overwhelming positive vibes from our presence at C2E2! There's a ton of awesome stuff happening around our books and I want to give you a heads up on the best of the best!

I'm Aub Driver, and this is Dark Horse in the Headlines!


Dark Horse / Red Cross Tsunami Relief Auction

In an attempt to raise money for Red Cross efforts in Japan, Dark Horse Comics announced a charity eBay auction this morning. All proceeds will go towards Red Cross Tsunami & Pacific Earthquake assistance. That was 9:43AM.

Come 3:00PM, the auctions highest bidder stands at $1,125. And this auction still has 5 days until completion!

We want to show our support for Japan, so we've acquired quite the awesome package of signed rarities for those parties interested in donating to a worthy cause. Check it out.

Dark Horse / Star Wars: 20th Anniversary

This past week we had an awesome Star Wars Friday which recapped everything we'd announced at C2E2! Perhaps the best part of this Friday was an interview on StarWars.com with Dark Horse President Mike Richardson and StarWars.com insider Pablo Hidalgo. It's an in depth look at Star Wars: Crimson Empire III along with the rest of the titles lined up for 2011! Further coverage can be found on Newsarama

Dark Horse owns Hawaii 5-0

Ok, not our headline, but our friends over at Bleeding Cool were awesome enough to be watching Hawaii 5-0 for content and picked up that Dark Horse Comics was all over last weeks episode! For still shots from the episode check out Bleeding Cool!

Mass Effect

Rumors keep flying around regarding a new Mass Effect comic series. I'm here to announce those rumors are true. The new series is coming. The official Dark Horse press release is on the way. If you want to know more right now you can check out Game Focus or Videogames 24/7 who were first on the scene. Kudos, guys.

Bloody-Disgusting.com

A big shout out to our friends at Bloody-Disgusting.com for picking up several of our titles for in depth review/preview. For those of you who haven't heard of Bloody-Disgusting.com, you should feel free to check them out.
