Comics and Books

Bluewater and Lionsgate are developing a Leprechaun comic. The first story arc will be written by Zach Hunter, the second by Michael Kingston, with art by Kris Carter. In it Lubdan will travel all over to track down his gold "Battling greed, the genocidal Cluracan and new mystical adversaries, Lubdan must save all life to save himself." Says Hunter, "Leprechaun is an immensely popular horror franchise and I'm excited about expanding the mythos.”

Bluewater and Lionsgate will also make a comic version of Warlock. Written by Nick Lyons, it takes place after second sequel (Warlock III: The End of Innocence) with the Warlock trying to destroy a book that imprisoned six other Warlocks in order to release them. It’ll be drawn by Jacob Bear, colored by John Hunt, and alternate covers by Matt Billisle.

Broccoli has decided to shut down its subsidiary Broccoli International USA due to “competition in the subsidiary's fields of business increased sharply in recent years, which resulted in a drop in revenue and profits.” This includes the imprint Broccoli Books which directly published manga and artbooks in North America.
