​It's the most dangerous heist ever attempted. Four desperate criminals are going all in on a once-in-a-lifetime chance to steal millions in art and turn their miserable lives around. The catch? They have to pull it off under the nose of a one thousand-ton kaiju. And a giant monster might just be the least of their problems.

Brought to you by the James Patrick (Grimm Fairy Tales, Death Comes to Dillinger, The Monsters of Jimmy Crumb) and Rem Broo (The End Times of Bram and Ben, Terminal Protocol) THE KAIJU SCORE is what happens when a Quentin Tarantino film takes place smack in the middle of a Godzilla movie.

In a competitive situation, Sony Pictures has acquired the film rights to AfterShock Comics’ upcoming comic book series THE KAIJU SCORE, from writer James Patrick (Grimm Fairy Tales, Death Comes to Dillinger, The Monsters of Jimmy Crumb) and artist Rem Broo (The End Times of Bram and Ben, Terminal Protocol).

Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch will produce, along with Tony Shaw who brought the property into Sony. AfterShock Comics’ Lee Kramer and Jon Kramer will also produce.

Jiao Chen is overseeing the project for Sony Pictures. Sony Pictures’ Drew Reed and Jake Bauman were instrumental in the deal, as was Rive Gauche Television with Steve Burkow of Ziffren, Brittenham, who negotiated on behalf of AfterShock.

Escape Artists is currently in prep on The Man From Toronto at Sony Pictures, with Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson attached to star and Patrick Hughes set to direct, as well as Journal For Jordan written by Virgil Williams and based on the memoir by Dana Canedy, with Denzel Washington directing and Michael B. Jordan starring.

In reaction to the movie news, series writer James Patrick says, "I'm excited. Period. Excited because it will hopefully bring more eyes to the book since it won't come out until November, excited for people to read the book and see how much more it is than just a good hook, and excited if it brings more attention to my other work and to Rem Broo's wonderful art and his other books," he continued, "And I can't communicate enough how excited I am that this is with Sony and Escape Artists. They make great movies and I feel the material is in great hands. I can't believe how lucky we got.”

Artist Rem Broo says, "I am excited for every step of this process, but it isn’t time to relax just yet. Not only has the book not been released yet, but it hasn't been finalized. James did a fantastic job on the script, but I still have plenty to do on the visual part. This fact keeps me grounded and cool-headed for the moment."

Don't forget though, The Kaiju Score (SEP201019) is also a comic book that you will be able to buy at a comic store this November. So if you want to get excited for the movie, make sure you check out the source material when it launches on November 25, 2020 at your local comic shop.

ZORRO IN LAND THAT TIME FORGOT #1 
AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY PRODUCTIONS
(W) Mike Wolfer (A) Alessandro Ranaldi (CA) Roy Allen Martinez, Miriana Puglia, Alessandro Ranaldi
The landmark comics event of the year begins here, as two of literature's best-loved and most action-packed properties meet in a crossover that was destined to happen: Zorro in the Land That Time Forgot! Licensed and fully-endorsed by Zorro Productions, Inc. and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., this astounding mini-series organically merges two different worlds in a story of action, intrigue, and prehistoric adventure that will have you cheering and on the edge of your seat! Set before the events of the original novel The Land That Time Forgot, Italian explorer Fausto Caproni leads an expedition to rediscover the fabled island continent of Caprona, first discovered by his grandfather but lost in the mists of time. On the eve of his embarkment from the port of La Reina de Los Angeles, Caproni has secured funding for his voyage from the Spanish government, as well as from the wealthy de la Vega family. But with a detachment of Spanish soldiers set to accompany Caproni, Don Diego de la Vega detects a nefarious plot. Diego-who is secretly the swashbuckling hero, El Zorro-stows away aboard the ship, and once they reach Caprona, Fausto, his sister Marina, the crew of the galleon Redenzione, the Spanish soldiers, and Zorro himself will find themselves thrust into a nightmare world of rampaging dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts that still roam in a land that time forgot! This lost world blockbuster is sure to thrill fans of Zorro, Edgar Rice Burroughs, dinosaurs, and romantic adventure in an all-new tale that follows in the footsteps of fantasy's greatest authors. Written by Mike Wolfer (Pellucidar, The Land That Time Forgot) and illustrated by sensational newcomer Alessandro Ranandi, featuring a main cover by Roy Allan Martinez (Zorro, The Monster Men), a variant cover by Miriana Puglia (The Moon Maid), and a Limited Edition cover by Alessandro Ranaldi.

Press Release
PACIFIC RIM MEETS PAPER GIRLS IN NEW ACTION SERIES BIG GIRLS LAUNCHING IN AUGUST FROM IMAGE COMICS
"Big Girls is next-level science fiction energy from one of the great powerhouses of American comics." —Warren Ellis

PORTLAND, Ore. 05/22/2020 — Critically acclaimed artist Jason Howard (Trees) takes full creative control as the writer and artist of the forthcoming action series Big Girls. This new ongoing comic book series will launch from Image Comics in August.

When men become giant monsters hellbent on destroying the world, only girls can stop them—Big Girls. Meet Ember—she writes poetry, loves to read, and she’s a 300-foot-tall full-time monster killer! She and the other big girls are all that stand in the way of our world’s complete annihilation! 

In an exclusive scoop on the Big Girls announcement with The Hollywood Reporter, Howard said of the series: “[this is] the perfect comic for both the dynamic sci-fi I like to draw and for my writer side to examine questions of power, inequality and the complexity of growing up."
