FAMOUS MONSTERS UNDERGROUND #1 – In 2010, Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine was resurrected. But creation is sometimes messy and unpredictable, and from this chaos another, more sinister, was born: FM Underground. This new magazine will feature a more “gore-iented” approach to horror than its older sibling. Underground will bring together all the best artwork and insight of Famous Monsters, combined with a counter-culture sensibility, edgy writing, and a so-close-you-might-get-blood-on-you look at horror, comics, music, video games, and more. Underground #1 will feature a tribute to 80’s horror as well as interviews with John Carpenter (The Thing), legendary exploitation auteur Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case), author Jack Ketchum (Off Season), filmmaker Fred Dekker (Monster Squad), and Steve Niles (30 Days of Night).

YU GI OH TCG HIDDEN ARSENAL BSTER DIS #4 TRISHULAS – From Konami Digital Entertainment. Twice before, a mighty Dragon of the Ice Barrier has been unleashed upon the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, and both times it’s had a huge impact. But the third Dragon is the biggest one yet: Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier! This super-powered Dragon works well in any Deck, just like the Ice Barrier Dragons from past Hidden Arsenal sets. In addition to Trishula, Hidden Arsenal 4 also includes 59 other brand-new monsters. And each one is a shiny foil card in this premium all-foil set. Hidden Arsenal 4 even includes 10 Dragunity monsters, including 2 Dragunity Synchro Monsters, so it’s also a perfect match with Structure Deck: Dragunity Legion. The 60-card set includes 20 Secret Rares (1 per Pack) and 40 Super Rares (4 per Pack). 5 cards per pack.
