Wanted: Dead or Alive, Season 2 With Steve McQueen Hits DVD on July 17th from BCI
Posted on 05.10.07 by Widge @ 12:43 am

IT'S FINALLY TIME TO SADDLE UP!

NAVARRE CORPORATION'S BCI ANNOUNCES SEASON TWO OF THE WESTERN THAT
LAUNCHED THE CAREER OF A SUPERSTAR:

"Wanted: Dead Or Alive, Season Two"
Featuring Steve McQueen

Gunning For Release on July 17th

Los Angeles, CA – BCI, a Navarre Corporation Company, proudly announces the July 17th release of the classic Western series, "Wanted: Dead Or Alive, Season Two". The complete second season – all 32 drama-filled episodes – will be available on a four-DVD set for the suggested retail price of $39.98. The announcement was made today by Cliff MacMillan, Director of Acquisitions, BCI.

"We are thrilled to present the long-awaited release of the second season of this popular series," MacMillan stated. "Besides introducing a new type of character to the Western genre, "Wanted: Dead Or Alive" also introduced a new talent that would soon become an icon: Steve McQueen."

1958 was a watershed year for Steve McQueen (The Thomas Crown Affair, The Sand Pebbles, The Towering Inferno). It marked his transition from a role as a teen in a sci-fi movie (The Blob) to the more thoughtful, mature role as Josh Randall - bounty hunter of the Old West in "Wanted: Dead Or Alive". His job was one associated with men who were typically coarse, cruel and careless. But Josh was an unexpected gentleman, giving half – if not all – of his reward money to charity. He was a silent figure, wearing on his belt the modified Winchester rifle he fondly called his "Mare's Laig". Such was the popularity of the program that reproductions of this rifle became collector's items and his catch phrase, "Let's go," found its way into the parlance of classic Western programs.

The Fallout From Captain America's Death Continues in Cap #26
Posted on 05.08.07 by Widge @ 1:56 am

The Legend Lives On In Captain America #26

After Captain America #25 shocked the world and catapulted the Living Legend's final moments into the mainstream media spotlight, the Eisner-nominated team of Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting continue the acclaimed "Death Of A Dream" storyline in Captain America #26. With Captain America dead, there are major repercussions for Winter Soldier (once known as Bucky, Cap's sidekick), Sharon Carter, The Falcon and the rest of Cap's allies. Unfortunately for them, Red Skull and his comrades aren't sitting idly by…but what is their endgame?

The acclaim just won't end for Captain America. "We've got to commend Brubaker and Epting for making daring choices throughout their tenure on the book and for smart, skillful work," said Newsarama.Com's Troy Brownfield of the acclaimed Captain America.

Other critics echoed similar sentiments about Captain America. Ambush Bug, of Ain't-It-Cool-News.Com, called Captain America #25 a "well-written and action packed issue that not only shows us why Cap is such an important character, but lays out an engrossing mystery for the reader to enjoy. It's top notch storytelling from cover to cover."
