From the Publisher

300: The Art of the Film HC

   What does it mean to turn one of the great graphic novels of our time into a major motion picture?

   In 1998, Frank Miller shook the comics world with his groundbreaking series 300. Marking Miller's first collaboration with watercolor artist Lynn Varley (Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns) in over a decade, 300 was a gritty reimagining of a battle in which three hundred Spartan soldiers fought to hold back the entire Persian army. The series won three Eisner Awards, including Best Limited Series, Best Writer/Artist (Miller), and Best Colorist (Varley).

   300: The Art of the Film takes you behind the scenes as director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) adapts 300 to the silver screen. Including more than 100 pages of production photos, concept art, and much, much more, 300: The Art of the Film is sure to delight Miller fans and movie buffs alike.

   "I knew this wasn't another typical sword-and-sandals movie, or a seven-hour-long lesson in historical accuracy. There are dozens of ways to retell the Battle of Thermopylae, but to adapt the story as presented in 300, I knew this was as much about bringing Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's visual style to life, as it was about the historical event itself."
-Grant Freckelton (Visual Effects Designer)

The Wolfe Pack #1 Strong-Arm Tactics (Bk. 1) Hardcover - February 25, 2006

   Lt. Daivid Wolfe has been assigned to X-Ray Company, a repository for outsiders, oddballs, and undesirables that the Galactic Defense Force doesn't want to have to deal with but can't find a legitimate way to discharge. He is the eldest child and only son of one of the most powerful figures in the Thousand Worlds Confederation, who can't imagine why Daivid would ever want to join the army. Central Command - uneasily aware of his connections - sent him to the most unsavory unit in the space service, the Cockroaches.

   Wolfe takes the assignment as almost a sacred cause, determined to straighten out his company, whip it into a self-respecting fighting force, and make it proud of itself. As for the Cockroaches, they've chewed up and spat out gung-ho young lieutenants before-but have they underestimated Daivid Wolfe? They're sent on what ought to be a cream-puff assignment, a simple courier mission to the greatest amusement park in the galaxy, and end up defending the population from a ruthless enemy in the only way the Cockroaches know how: unconventionally.

BOOK Queens Gate Kakusei Tsurugi-hime Jubei Yagyu - New

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Before modern pop culture took hold in Japan, the name "Jubei Yagyu" invoked images of a legendary samurai who lived and killed in the years between 1607-1650. After the Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls property debuted, "Jubei Yagyu" became the name associated with a fiery ginger who had a voluptuous figure, attitude, and slicing weapons. Ever since the launch of the Samurai Girls franchise, Jubei's become a popular girl and she's going places to further her career. She was recently inducted into the Queens Gate brand and she's the focus in a new 66-page hardcover book based on her Queens Blade appearances.

   The new book is B5 size (25.70 x 18.20 x 1cm) and features full-color illustrations of Jubei in various scenarios and action-packed situations that should catch the attention of discerning fans. Although Jubei wears clothing, the illustrations display Jubei's impressive attributes in revealing poses and ribald action stances that may best be described as "fan service" theatrics. On page 44, Jubei's posterior shot leaves nothing to the imagination and page 53 shows a wincing Jubei as her blouse is torn to shreds by an invisible force.

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Originally released for mobile-phones in the summer of 2009, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded is undergoing the remake treatment and will be playable on the Nintendo DS later this year. In the game, players take control of Sora who explores a Heartless-challenged Traverse Town which is in need of a fix.

King Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, Alice, and other Disneyland friends return in the role of supporting cast mates.

BOOK One Voice: Shunya Yamashita Anthology 3 - New, In Stk

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Artist Shunya Yamashita specializes in illustrations of the fantasy female form in all of its dimensions and scantily clad proportions. Shunya doesn't draw office ladies or schoolmarms with their Cateye glasses since they wouldn't be found in a fantasy environment. Shunya focuses on girls like Yoko Ritona of Gurren Lagann fame, Asuka Langley from Evangelion, and Aya of Oneechan Bara because they're bold, brash, and larger than life even in the fantastical realms that they inhabit.

The new One Voice: Shunya Yamashita Anthology 3 book from publisher Kotobukiya collects recent works from Shunya Yamashita's portfolio in a 120 page volume (A4 size which measures 8.27 X 11.69 in area). Illustrations of well known characters such as Rogue of the X-Men and the Scarlet Witch (Avengers) are joined by obscure original characters along with commercial work that Shunya was commissioned to do. On page #38 and 39, Shunya shows readers his technique from pencil sketches to computer draft to completed illustration. The creative tools listed include Corel Painter X, Photoshop CS4, and a Wacom Intuos3 PTZ-631W tablet. A section titled "The Original Works for Video Games" includes illustrations for characters from Valkyrie Profile 2, Lord of Vermillion, and more.
