Music to Accompany The Electric State
Simon Stålenhag does it all as he’s released an album of music to accompany his narrative art book THE ELECTRIC STATE. Get in the mood as you wait for your copy of THE ELECTRIC STATE to arrive!

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY
This album for THE ELECTRIC STATE was release last year as part of the Kickstarter for the initial run of the book. If you’re hungry for more, Simon has also just released a new album called MUSIC FOR DOS. Here’s how Simon describes it:
“A collection of ambient tracks, composed with Impulse Tracker, running on a Pentium 266 Mhz. Very much influenced by Brian Eno and Harold Budd, and I thought it would be interesting to explore if I could do something similar using only super cheap toy keyboards, sampled and tracked on old PC hardware.
Tracks use mostly samples from Casio SA21 and Yamaha Portasound PSS280. I also sampled a few patches from my Reface DX, and imported some data files from my DOS disk. Since the music is written on old DOS software on ancient hardware there isn’t any real digital effects used at all, delay effects are manually tracked duplicates of pattern data or manipulated volume data on looping samples.”

SKYBOUND GAMES PARTNERS WITH ADULT SWIM GAMES AND TEAM CHERRY TO BRING INDIE GAMES TO NEW PLATFORMS
Death’s Gambit and Hollow Knight Are the Latest Additions to Skybound’s Growing Slate
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 20, 2018) – Publishing venture Skybound Games today announced two new partnerships, bringing Death’s Gambit with Adult Swim Games to PS4, and Hollow Knight with Team Cherry to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch through physical distribution.
“Hollow Knight and Death’s Gambit represent the very best of independent game development,” said Skybound Games CEO Ian Howe. “I’m thrilled to partner with Team Cherry, and Adult Swim and White Rabbit to bring them to retail.”
Death’s Gambit, a monster-slaying action RPG from Adult Swim and White Rabbit, will be available in 2019. Players serve as an agent of Death in a stylized, gothic world of beasts, knights, and horrors that must be defeated in challenging battles. Hollow Knight, an epic 2D action-adventure featuring an assortment of creatures brought to life in moody detail, will be available in spring 2019.
“We are excited to partner with Skybound in distributing Death’s Gambit on PS4,” said Jeff Olsen, VP of Adult Swim Digital & Games. “The game has a passionate fanbase, and we know that a physical release from Skybound will be welcome news to them.”
“Skybound immediately impressed us with their experience and their focus on quality, and we can’t wait for them to deliver the definite version of Hollow Knight into players’ hands,” said Team Cherry Co-Founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen.
Death’s Gambit and Hollow Knight are the latest additions to Skybound Games’ growing slate since the venture was announced earlier this year. The first two projects published out of Skybound Games, The Long Dark from Hinterland and Slime Rancher from Monomi Park, will be available on Xbox One and PS4 platforms at retail on September 4, 2018. Skybound Games also recently announced a partnership with Lab Zero Games to publish Skullgirls, a fast-paced 2D fighting game that puts players in control of fierce warriors in a Dark Deco world, both digitally and physically.

Announcing: OUTER DARKNESS, Our Newest Comic
I’ve been a fan of John Layman for as long as I’ve worked in comics. Almost ten years ago, I started as an intern in the comic industry, just months after the launch of CHEW and it’s an understatement to say that it was one of my favorite books. I looked at it as something to aspire to in the comics I worked on and hoped that I could one day work on something like it. Over the years, John has proven time and time again that he’s one of the true geniuses of the comic industry. Able to blend comedy and action and drama together, his handle on the comic medium is second to none. When CHEW ended, I was sad to see it go, but looked forward to what came next. With that, I’m excited to say that OUTER DARKNESS is truly the follow-up that I’ve been waiting for.
With OUTER DARKNESS, John has written the same type of comic I’d have been obsessed with in those early days and to be here from the beginning is absolutely thrilling. This book captures the magic of the comic book medium in a way that few comics can these days. Blending sci-fi, horror, action and comedy into one series the way OUTER DARKNESS does is impressive. Most comics can struggle to blend just one or two, but OUTER DARKNESS has it all! There really is something for everyone in this book. You want weird-ass sci-fi monsters in your comics? We’ve got ‘em! You want the crew of a starship pushed to the brink of survival? We’ve got it! You want high stakes drama as mutinous crew members might get everyone killed? It’s there, too! This book has everything.
And it goes without saying that the book wouldn’t be what it is without the brilliant work of artist Afu Chan and letterer Pat Brosseau. Afu took John’s scripts and made them leap off the page. Whether it’s a possessed crew member puking pure evil or a giant demon powering a ship, Afu makes it all look flawless. Who knew that pure, disgusting sci-fi horror could look so damn beautiful? We’re lucky to have Afu on the book and I hope you’ll feel the same once you’ve taken a read. And what would John’s scripts be without the lettering talent of Mr. Pat Brosseau? His lettering is truly a work of art and I’m thrilled every time he finishes a new issue.
I know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to what comics you read, but let me say this: you should make OUTER DARKNESS your #1 priority. This is a special book and you’ll be glad you picked it up. It’s everything comic books should be. Make sure to let your retailer know that you want a copy when it comes out in November and in the meantime, make sure to read the attached preview!

A world of sci-fi and horror. Outer Darkness is set seven hundred years in the future, against the background of a war between humanity and a savage alien race. Mankind has mastered interstellar travel and colonized the galaxy. but during our travels into space, we’ve discovered a horrible truth. When a body dies, its spirit is cast into space, into the terrible, infinite “outer darkness”. Turns out, space is filled with spirits, ghosts, demons and all manner of necro-essences… that are lonely, scared, confused, corrupted, or just plain pissed! Demonic possession, hauntings, cosmic horror… all as commonplace on a Starship as extraterrestrial encounters and alien attacks. Outer space is terrifying.
