Chris Ryall Rejoins Idw Publishing As President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer CHRIS RYALL REJOINS IDW PUBLISHING AS PRESIDENT, PUBLISHER AND CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER Company’s Former Chief Creative Officer, Editor-In-Chief And Comic Industry Veteran Brings 14 Years Of Experience IDW Vet Greg Goldstein To Step Down SAN DIEGO, CA and STAMFORD, CT - December 10, 2018 - IDW Publishing, a division of IDW Media Holdings, announced today that its former Chief Creative Officer and Editor-In-Chief, Chris Ryall, is returning to the company as President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer. Ryall, formerly part of the editorial division at Skybound Entertainment, will be charged with ongoing creative expansion efforts within the company, as well as continuing to work closely with partners and licensors. Greg Goldstein will be stepping down as President and Publisher.“Chris was a vital and valued member of the IDW team from nearly the beginning, so we are very excited that he is coming home,” said Howard Jonas, Chairman, IDW Media Holdings. “We are thrilled to have him rejoin our senior team to accelerate IDW Publishing’s growth and success. His creative talents and relationships within the industry are unmatched so we are confident that he will thrive in this new, expanded role. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and hard work that Greg put into the company, and I am confident that he will enjoy great success with his future endeavors.” “I am incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished during my decade at IDW,” said Greg Goldstein. "I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to work with the entire IDW team and our creative and business partners. It’s been a great ride. Now I’m now looking forward to the next chapter of my career. It's very exciting." Ryall originally joined IDW Publishing in 2004 as the company’s Editor-in-Chief. In 2010, he was named as the company’s first Chief Creative Officer. During his initial stint with the company, Ryall oversaw the acquisition of licensed titles such as Transformers, Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and dozens of others. He also served as editor on hundreds of titles and, alongside creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, helped develop the acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning Locke & Key, currently in development as a Netflix television series. “IDW is where I’ve spent the majority of my career, and I consider the company and its employees like family so I am grateful for this amazing opportunity to return,” said Ryall. “I believe that IDW has very significant opportunities to become even more valuable and important and I am excited to further expand on what I started with the company nearly 15 years ago. I am also eager to help the company celebrate its 20th year anniversary in 2019 in varied and creatively invigorating new ways.” Ryall will assume his new duties on December 10, bringing more than 14 years of proven success to IDW Publishing. As a writer, Ryall was nominated for an Eisner Award alongside artist Ashley Wood. Together, they co-created the property Zombies vs Robots, purchased by Sony Pictures. He is also the co- creator of Onyx (with Gabriel Rodriguez); The Hollows (with Sam Kieth); The Colonized (with Drew Moss); and Groom Lake (with Ben Templesmith); the co- author of Comic Books 101 (with Scott Tipton); and writer of licensed properties such as Stephen King and Joe Hill’sThrottle; Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show; Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, The Transformers; Mars Attacks, Rom, Kiss; and many other titles.

    Page 120 MULTI­MEDIA REVIEWS Bioshock (Game Developer: Take 2 Interactive) Rated 18s Multi­Platform ­ Game reviewed on the Xbox 360 So there you are, on a plane trip home, gazing at a picture of your proud parents, when suddenly the engines splutter, then fail, and the plane crashes into the ocean. By pure chance you survive, spluttering up through the seawater and dodging detritus, burning fuel and the bodies of your fellow passengers. Glancing around, you notice a stone monolith rising from the sea and swim towards it. Shivering with the cold, you climb up a broad set of steps and into the entrance only to discover a large room with a bathysphere – a kind of miniature submarine – sitting below a large, tattered banner with the word “Welcome” written on it. Now, any sane person would sit down in the room, maybe try and light a fire and wait for help, but not Jack the character whose persona you adopt at the beginning of Bioshock . As Jack, the player enters the bathysphere and starts the journey to Rapture, an underwater city built by industrialist Andrew Ryan in an attempt to create a utopia which facilitates unfettered expression in art, music, engineering and science. About 15 seconds after you arrive in Rapture (after a visually stunning journey), you begin to realise that naturally, something has gone very badly wrong. It could be the destruction wrought on the entrance chamber, or the voice coming across the radio telling you that you’ve made a terrible mistake. Or, and more likely, it’s the woman crawling on the roof who has hooks instead of hands… This is the opening to Bioshock , one of the few horror genre games to be released on a next gen console: in this case, Microsoft’s XBOX 360, which is pushed to the very limit of its processing power in order to produce the stunning graphics on display in the game.
