From the mind of musician Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman) with art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic), Orchid is the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.

When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves. Welcome to the world of Orchid.

Why comics?

Four years ago, an alien race of shape-changing robots came to Earth, fired ray guns at each other for a while, then gave up and flew away. But they left behind one thing: Shootertron, the semi-cunning leader of the evil Fantasticons! Fortunately for Earth, Shootertron's memory is a little fuzzy. Unfortunately for Earth, the rest of the Incredible Change-Bots seem to be on their way back! Hilarious and gleefully childlike, Jeffrey Brown's Incredible Change-Bots Two is a nostalgic tribute to Saturday morning cartoons. (STK418884)

THE MAGNIFICENT RUFFIANS DVD

One of the Five Venoms’ more comedic outings, The Magnificent Ruffians trades up the straight-faced heroics of the previous year’s Five Deadly Venoms for some kung-fu shenanigans in the best Jackie Chan tradition. This tale of martial arts draws inspiration from Chan’s 1978 breakout hits Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Drunken Master, but under the watchful eye of legendary Shaw Brothers director Chang Cheh (One-Armed Swordsman, Golden Swallow) the film rises above mere imitation. Combining kung-fu slapstick with Chang’s trademark themes of brotherhood and betrayal — as well as the Venoms’ knack for elaborate, no-holds-barred action set pieces — The Magnificent Ruffians is justifiably one of the most popular installments of the Five Venoms series.
