…and you now know as much about the return of The Far Side as we do.
There are few battles better known than the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. The courage on display that day helped turned the tide against the Axis powers.
On screens and streaming today, the Cinedigm release honors those who risked everything in the name of freedom.
Our friends at CInedigm want to celebrate the release by giving away a one-sheet signed by Chuck Liddell, Weston Cage Coppola and Jesse Kove, and the actual movie via free iTunes Digital code.

D-DAY, starring Chuck Liddell (Former UFC Champion & Hall of Famer, Kick-Ass 2, Altitude), Randy Couture (Former UFC Champion & Hall of Famer, The Expendables 2 & 3), Weston Cage Coppola (211, Circus Kane), and Jesse Kove (On Wings of Eagles) will release in select theaters, on demand and digitally on September 13, with a DVD release to follow later in the year, from Cinedigm.
Written by Geoff Meed and directed by Nick Lyon, D-DAY is based on the incredible true story of the elite Army Rangers of the 2nd Battalion.

General Omar Bradley (Liddell), and Major Cleveland Lytle (Couture) lead the 2nd Battalion behind enemy lines and into a firefight against an enemy that greatly outnumbers them. Scaling a one-hundred-foot cliff, these heroic rangers battle to secure a strategic position and destroy a battery of German-seized cannons.

Universal City, California, September 10, 2019 – Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, available on Digital on October 15, 2019, as well as on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand on November 5, 2019, amps up the high-stakes action and sharp-edged humor like never before, taking fans down an exhilarating new road. Unforgettable franchise favorites Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson; Skyscraper, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham; The Meg, Spy) forge an unlikely partnership that provides fresh insight into their backstories. Johnson and Statham’s “sheer movie star charisma” (Scott Mendelson, Forbes) take the action, spectacle, thrills and humor to a new level and have already earned the film more than $680 million at the global box office.
Hobbs & Shaw features over 80 minutes* of never-before-seen bonus content including an alternate opening, deleted and extended scenes and several featurettes with the filmmakers and cast that take fans further into the thrilling story. A hit with audiences, Hobbs & Shaw earned an “A-” CinemaScore and is “the most exciting movie of the year” (Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV), with non-stop action across the globe, from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.
For years, hulking lawman Luke Hobbs and lawless outcast Deckard Shaw have traded smack talk and body blows. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton Lorr (Idris Elba; Thor: Ragnarok, The Dark Tower) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw must partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Joining the cast as Shaw’s sister Hattie, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible-Fallout, The Crown) “is convincing as a woman who can take care of herself” (Rafer Guzman, Newsday). Directed by David Leitch from a story by longtime Fast & Furious narrative architect Chris Morgan and a screenplay by Morgan and Drew Pearce (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Iron Man 3), Hobbs & Shaw is produced by Johnson, Statham, Morgan and Hiram Garcia (Skyscraper, Rampage).

We here at ComicMix love the opportunities that crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter have given comics creators to get more of their out there. We wanted to highlight a project that hit Kickstarter today, Aer Head #1, by Mindy Indy. She’s worked primarily on her indy comics as well as having been legendary artist Kyle Baker’s assistant and working as a colorist with publishers like Papercutz. This is her first Kickstarter and has to reach a goal of $2,000.
Below is her press release detailing the project with pages from Aer Head #1 at the end. Please check it out and consider supporting this campaign!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AER HEAD Surfer Hero Comic Making Waves on Kickstarter
BROOKLYN, NY, September 2019
Independent cartoonist Mindy Indy has excitedly launched the debut of AER HEAD issue #1 on Kickstarter. Teen surfer and lifeguard Aer struggles to control his ESP, until he predicts a wave of flame will careen towards Earth. It’s X-Men at the beach! If you’re into surfing, manga/anime, or love endearing characters, quirky humor, and compelling sci-fi themes, catch the wave of AER HEAD now!
Mindy Indy has been working as a freelance cartoonist in Brooklyn for over 9 years. Originally from Michigan, she has always loved to draw and wants to inspire others like how manga and anime inspired her as a youth. AER HEAD delivers humor and a love triangle like Ranma ½ with action like Armageddon.
Aereo Zephyr, nicknamed Aer, loves surfing but doesn’t take himself seriously. He can sometimes see the future in his dreams but has no control of it. He wishes he could be like his friends who easily use their powers. Jade contacts Aer via telepathy from across the continent. Vee manipulates the wind for special aerial surf moves. Andy uses his plant powers for pranks. Aer grows from thinking of how he could use his power for himself to helping others like saving people from disasters. He gets his wish as he predicts a supernatural solar flare will wipe out all of New San Diego and possibly Earth. Can he use his lifeguard skills to save everyone in time?
If you pledge on Kickstarter now, you can get a digital or physical copy of AER HEAD issue #1, custom art, original page art, or even be drawn in the issue itself! Ride this indie comic wave before the campaign ends October 10th.

Creepy and Engaging. To me, that’s the way every scary summertime story should be. Well, summer’s over but the latest from Aftershock, Midnight Vista, gave me that same type of feeling. I think that as I read this series during the fall, I’ll be able to keep that summertime vibe in the months ahead.
