GROOT UNLEASHES A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

GROOT UNLEASHES A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IN MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY!

Check out all the covers and a preview for the debut issue of MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY, a new comic book series by Thomas Krajewski and Jason Muhr hitting stands on September 4.

This September, fear takes root across the Marvel Universe in MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY!

Written by TV and comic writer Tom Krajewski (DC’s Primer) in his Marvel Comics debut and drawn by acclaimed artist Jason Muhr (Spider-Man 2099), the four-issue limited series will deliver a horror super hero saga just in time for the Halloween season. Perfect for all readers, MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY is an exciting new take on Marvel Zombies storytelling that kicks off after a sick Groot, of the Guardians of the Galaxy, accidentally sneezes. Suddenly, a terrifying alien virus is unleashed, turning Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and other Marvel icons into plant-based zombies!

Today, fans can see all five covers of the debut issue, including a House of X #1 homage cover by Annie Wu and a special Saturday Morning connecting cover by Sean Galloway, as well as never-before-seen interior artwork. The preview pages show the fateful sneeze that sets everything in motion, Captain America and Black Widow being infected, and Bruce Banner alongside Groot as they set out to survive a world overgrown with terror!

A NEW ZOMBIE VIRUS IS UNLEASHED… AND GROOT IS PATIENT ZERO! Groot feels bad – not only because Rocket’s latest scheme put them firmly in the crosshairs of the Avengers, but also he’s just plain sick! Sap-dripping nose and all. Things go from bad to apocalyptic, however, after an ill-timed sneeze in Captain America’s face has unforeseeable consequences! Suddenly, Groot is being attacked by a horde of zombified Avengers, and only he and Hulk, with his impenetrable green skin, remain impervious. Now it’s up to these two heroes to team up and fight their way through a blighted New York City to Banner’s lab in Avengers Tower to find a cure before it’s too late. But can Groot keep the hero in check and on track, or will Hulk unleash his deadly might on the zombies they once called friends?

Check out all the covers along with the preview and preorder MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY #1 at your local comic shop today! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Lilah Pi – Stone

London-born singer-songwriter, creative director, and fashion industry muse, Lilah Pi, released her new single “Stone” ft. Bakar. Written after a period of deep introspection and self-development that’s seen Lilah harness her true female energy and strength, this dreamy, lovestruck return inspired by images from Greek mythology and ancient romantic sculptures is about wanting to turn the perfect relationship into stone. Check it out across streaming platforms, HERE.

Drawing on an intoxicating medley of sonic influences from psych-rock, funk, pop and indie, on “Stone” her ethereal vocals and abstract confessional lyrics sculpt this beautiful metaphor, with Bakar’s equally intellectual and mellifluous response referencing everything from Medusa to Van Gogh providing the final touches.

Speaking on the single, Lilah shares, “I wrote stone after looking at some Greek stone statues, they were forever stuck in a moment of love and intimacy and I thought how much better life would be if you could pause your relationship in its best moment and turn it to stone, so it would last forever.”

First emerging in 2021 with her debut EP Atlantis, Lilah has spent the last three years living what she describes as a “crazy life.” Her new material was written after the end of a whirlwind romance she entered into after deciding to follow her intuition. Fans can look out for more from the artist in the near future. To keep up with all that Lilah has ongoing be sure to follow via her socials.

Toyota GAZOO Racing Adds Direct Automatic Transmission to GR Corolla

• New Premium Plus Grade Now Available

• 2025 GR Corolla Provides More Engine Torque at 295 lb.-ft.

• Launch Control Adopted to Help Enable Powerful Acceleration

• Suspension Enhancements Add Stability When Cornering

• Redesigned Front Bumper to Improve Cooling and Aerodynamics

• Complimentary 1-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association

The GR Corolla has expanded the fun quotient. Now both hardcore enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of a manual transmission and those who’d rather focus on the handling can enjoy the thrill of sports car driving with the new addition of the 8speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) with Paddle Shifters. Just shortly after the reveal of the GR Corolla in 2022, MORIZO, Akio Toyoda, challenged his team to think about what’s next. Creating ever better cars is in Toyota GAZOO Racing’s DNA. MORIZO challenged them to pursue untamed energy, and from there, we have the first GR Corolla with the new DAT. Inspired by track driving, the GR Corolla has been tested by rally and racing drivers on some of the most rigorous courses the world has to offer, including Fuji International Speedway. Through their development efforts, the GR team increased engine torque on the GR Corolla from 273 lb.-ft. to 295 lb.-ft. and enhanced suspension components and tuning, resulting in a vehicle that is sure to impress. Changes have also been made both inside and out to improve the driving experience. On the exterior, the front bumper has been redesigned to accommodate optional cooling components while simultaneously retaining aerodynamic performance. On the inside, there is a new dark sporty vibe due to the new trim finishes on flat surfaces and switches throughout the vehicle to provide a pleasing tactile feel. Customers can expect new GR Corolla models to arrive at Toyota dealerships this winter. Additional details and pricing will be shared later this year.

The partnership will center around one of Thebe’s most coveted collections, the Custom Heirloom Shirt. The Heirloom Collection celebrates and honors anyone who has left an impact on the wearer’s life – living or transitioned, blood or chosen. The (THEBE MAGUGU) RED  Heirloom II, a limited-edition capsule, which features a Custom Heirloom Shirt, Custom Heirloom Elastic Waist Wide-Leg Pant and Custom Heirloom Tote Bag is available to both men and women and is available in 4 vibrant colorways: Kiwi Green, Vanilla White, Blueberry Navy, and the special Strawberry (RED). 

The Shirt is created in a pajama-style linen-look woven fabric, with custom stainless-steel Sisterhood Buttons.

The straight-leg trousers have an elasticated back waistband for ease of fit, with three pockets in total. A strappy tote-bag completes the ‘elevated comfort’ look.

Magugu, known for his vibrant ready-to-wear collections and multidisciplinary capsule concepts, won the prestigious LVMH Prize for emerging talent in 2019.

Thebe Magugu, Founder, Thebe Magugu, said: 

“Heirloom is a very special project for me, because it gets to immortalise through cloth not only my own memories, but the memories of others as well. Creating an archivable ‘log’ of one’s life. It is extra special that this project also gets to contribute to (RED)’s critical mission of fighting AIDS through the power of fashion. I have seen the effects of HIV/AIDS up close, having lost family members to it, and watching others manage the condition, I am personally invested in this cause. Being in South Africa, we have one of the highest rates in the world.”

The winner that clinches the title of 2024 National Champion will advance to the world’s largest stage for freestyle rap at the Red Bull Batalla International Final hosted in Madrid, Spain this November.

All the action will be judged by a panel of freestyle experts including Venezuelan legend and 6x Latin Grammy nominated artist, Akapellah, alongside 2x Red Bull Batalla National Champion Reverse, Snow QLQ, Dilema and more to be announced.

HILMA AF KLINT

  • Swedish artist Hilma af Klint eschewed her traditional pictorial training in order to focus on a new type of abstract art informed by her deep spiritual commitments.
  • The artist devoted nearly a decade to her Paintings for the Temple, which represents a radical effort by af Klint to find visual expression for a transcendent, spiritual reality beyond the observable world.
  • Hilma af Klint rarely exhibited her most innovative works during her lifetime, and nearly a century would pass before they finally received the recognition they deserve.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Hilma af Klint, a comprehensive survey of the career of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (b. 1862, Stockholm; d. 1944, Stockholm), sponsored by Iberdrola. The show spans from her early works on traditional themes, her automatic drawings, and her most outstanding series, including Paintings for the Temple, Parsifal, the Atom Series, to the watercolors of her final years.
