THE WALKING DEAD HARDCOVER COLLECTIONS
An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the
dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society has
crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no
cable TV. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying
future. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired
a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family, he
must now sort through all the death and confusion to try and find his wife
and son. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living.
Volume 1 in this series of hardcovers features the first 12 issues, and
serves as the inspiration for the first season of AMC’s The Walking Dead
television series. Each collection contains two entire volumes — that’s 12
complete issues of The Walking Dead.

Hi everyone,

It is with great regret that we must delay two upcoming titles due to materials not arriving on time for production deadlines.

Eden of the East DVD MMB663
Eden of the East Blu-Ray MMB663BR

Sengoku Basara DVD MMB891
Sengoku Basara Blu-Ray MMB891BR

All of these will now be moved to a November 3rd release date. This will be reflected in the Navi as well.

Please inform your accounts of this new release date.

The good thing to come out of this? We’re still only a bout a week behind the US release, the fastest we’ve ever done for an anime series title 

Midsomer’s return last night has seen it beat The X Factor in its debut week with an overall rating figure of 1,307.000 viewers. In the same timeslot the Sunday prior, ABC failed to crack the top 10, with its 8.30 offering rating half of the Midsomer figure.

Great further exposure for our mighty brand.

Offspring on Ten, continued to reach the 1 million viewer mark which bodes well for our DVD release in December.

Our August release Martin Clunes - A Man And His Dogs debuts this Saturday night on Seven at 6.30pm. His Horsepower documentary (running the past 2 weeks in the same slot) averaged about 800,000 viewers, making it Seven’s most watched program of the night and winning its timeslot. Everyone knows doggies are more popular than horsies,
