### **First Announcement**

Arriving Q1 of 2021 will be the first issue of a brand new comic book series. While the main Mycho Comics series will continue to focus on Red pre-Slasher House, Mycho Universe will tell stories from the wider universe. The issues will be available digitally with a printed collection available annually. Members of the Patreon will get first look at the issues free before being released to the public for sell. No information on how often issues will be released. However, the first issue will follow fan favorite, Cleaver.

### **Second Announcement**

Mycho figures have been teased for quite a while. Now we're getting close to an actual release. Instead of releasing the figures all at once or in sets, they'll instead be released one at a time. First up on the release schedule will be Cleaver. The first edition should be prototyped by the beginning of 2021, with the hopes of taking pre-orders in January. The figures will be reproduced in a very limited quantity with a Halloween chase variant available at MYCon 2021. After that they'll release one figure and it's chase variant every year.

### **MYCast Live**

During the MYCast live broadcast MJ Dixon went into a little more detail on the pervious announcements. The Mycho Universe comic will release 4 issues a year. It'll be the same number of pages as the Mycho Comics series and may feature a shorter story at the end as well. The annual printed collection will come out at the end of the year or the beginning of the next year. As stated in the announcement for the action figures they will release one figure a year with a chase variant. MJ added that there is a chance they may do two or more a year in the future but for now plan to only release one a year. He also went into detail about what will happen at the live podcasts, Gritty Reboot and Reel Horror. The formats will largely stay the same with the added benefit of audience interaction.
