A$AP Rocky + HOMMEMADE at Art Basel

This weekend, amidst the buzz of Design Miami 2024, multi-hyphenated artist, entrepreneur, actor and fashion icon A$AP Rocky held a private viewing of The Galaxy Collection, the latest collection from HOMMEMADE, his design studio x furniture & home goods brand. 

Known for his style, music, and influence on culture, A$AP Rocky is establishing a creative work/living space experience through HOMMEMADE Studios with architectural spaces that provide an artistic and productive environment for traveling and or working creatives. Hommemade aims to challenge conventional design by creating pieces that defy normalcy, inspire creativity, and ensure comfort.

The Galaxy Collection, the second release of Rocky’s HOMMEMADE, expands his Retro Futurism world building – an amalgamation of his own unique style and commitment to solidifying his stake in the design world. The Galaxy Collection provides a deeper look into what a surreal retro futuristic lifestyle would look like from the POV from a Satellite. The “Satellamp” projector / lamp compliments the theory of the collection, while the Skyline Carpet collaboration with Gufram gives a more zoomed-in perspective. These pieces, highlighted by Rocky’s most audacious piece to date – a portable, all-in-one state of the art Studio and Entertainment Center, The CBNT.V1, share a common push/pull theme of retro meets futuristic.

The collection is now available to purchase. For more information, reach out to hommemade@awge.com.

Marvel’s Red Hulk

In 2025, ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM overtakes the Marvel Universe! In addition to a core title spotlighting the iconic supervillain’s rise to glory, Doom’s reign will be felt all across Marvel Comics, particularly in tie-in issues and series. Today, fans can learn about one of the first ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM tie-in launches, an all-new RED HULK ongoing comic series!

Arriving in February, RED HULK stars Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross as he once again becomes that which he always hated most—the RED HULK! The series will be written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Geoff Shaw, following their explosive work together on last year’s “Sabretooth War” storyline in Wolverine. The new saga comes just in time for the Red Hulk’s highly anticipated MCU debut in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World, in theaters February 14.

RED HULK kicks off when Doctor Doom imprisons Ross in Latveria in order to exploit his military expertise. Ross’ only hope of escape is unleashing Red Hulk’s strength like never before and leading an assault on Doom’s Kingdom from the inside! For a taste of what’s in store, check out a special prelude story by Percy and Shaw later this month in Incredible Hulk #19, the milestone 800th issue of Hulk.

RED HULK RAGES INTO ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!

Thunderbolt Ross – in a cell deep below the ground – is a prisoner of Doctor Doom, and he is not alone. Brilliant military, criminal, and political minds have been gathered against their will in a prison complex that serves as a “think tank” to help carry out Doom’s plan for global domination. But the Red Hulk has other plans! Guest starring Machine Man. 

“When I learned about the One World Under Doom event, my mind immediately went to Thunderbolt Ross,” Percy explained. “A global takeover would not be tolerated by a man who bleeds red, white, and blue (but especially RED). And his experience — as a soldier in the field, as a military strategist in the war room, as a walking weapon of mass destruction — would make him someone Doom would target well before he made his move.

“So I proposed a story in which Ross would be kidnapped by Doom and forced into a ‘Think Tank’ prison in which he would test out various war-time scenarios. That’s where we begin — in a book that does not give you a second to breathe. It moves and moves and moves with constant action and tension. Geoff Shaw is a brilliant and brutal artist who I worked with on the Wolverine/Ghost Rider crossover: Weapons of Vengeance. We planned this not just as an action showpiece, but as a war book. Get ready for a Hulk-sized assault on the senses.”

“Hulk has always been my favorite Marvel character, so to play in this gamma irradiated sand box has been a dream come true,” Shaw added. “Add Doctor Doom to the mix, arguably the Villain-of-all-villains, and artistically it’s an embarrassment of riches. We’re going to rock your red socks off!”

“In INCREDIBLE HULK #19, we’ll discover Ross has been operating dangerous covert missions across the globe in the name of national security,” says series editor Mark Paniccia. “From this point on, Ben and Geoff bring intrigue and mystery paired with pulse-pounding action and shocking moments never letting their foot off the gas!” 

In addition to Shaw’s main cover, check out a rampage of variant covers from superstar artists including a special foil variant cover by Adam Kubert, a cover by Todd Nauck for his recently announced Iconic Variant Cover series, and a cover by John Romita Jr. Preorder RED HULK #1 at your local comic shop today and stay tuned for more ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM announcements later this week.

Over the Moon

Cultural curators, artisans, and community leaders in LA join the LEGO Group and Pharrell Williams in celebrating their collaboration

Last night, The LEGO Group and visionary artist and designer Pharrell Williams came together in Los Angeles at an immersive experience that brings to life their recently released, co-designed LEGO® set Over the Moon.

The interactive experience, which opens to the general public for one day tomorrow Saturday 5th of October, aims to celebrate diverse perspectives and the creative power of play by taking guests on a cosmic journey of creativity and curiosity to help unleash their limitless creative potential. 

Ahead of the release of ‘PIECE by PIECE, an upcoming new biopic of Williams’ life, told through LEGO animation, Pharrell took part in an intimate conversation with close friend and Academy Award® winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, who directed the film. 

Regarding the upcoming PIECE by PIECE film, Williams said:

“Seeing the film through the lens of LEGO animation, we were able to tell a universal story. The reaction we are getting to the film is that a lot of people are walking away feeling inspired, and that they can do and be anything they want to be. I love that.”

Expanding on his partnership with the LEGO Group, Williams said:

“Imagine you are five years old, playing with a LEGO set and now fast forward and you are in this position that I am in here today, talking about my own film, told through LEGO animation.  If this can happen for me, I want all the kids out there to just imagine what they can do too.”

Guests attending the immersive Over The Moon experience in Los Angeles enjoyed hands-on experiences including a LEGO® minifigure make and take zone, a space to create their own rocket and a station to create their own personalised t-shirt to take away as a souvenir.

The event takes inspiration from the Over The Moon LEGO® set which is a space shuttle with a golden canopy and a vibrant jet stream of colours and is made up of three parts, with each holding a special meaning for Pharrell. The black-and-gold shuttle symbolizes limitless potential, taking off and transporting you anywhere you can imagine. The bright and vibrant colours of the jet stream symbolize the imagination, creativity, and power of play to fuel your way. And finally, befitting Pharrell’s relentless pursuit to push boundaries and ensure that everyone can feel represented and seen, the LEGO® Over the Moon set features the widest range of customizable minifigure skin tones. 50 Minifigure heads are included, 30 of which were especially created for this set. 

The LEGO Group VP of Global Brand Development Alero Akuya said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing our partnership with Pharrell Williams to Los Angeles at this immersive experience that brings the project to life through Pharrell’s unique lens and celebrates the diverse voices and creativity that shape our world.”

The Over the Moon experience in Los Angeles comes ahead of the release of Focus Features’ PIECE BY PIECE, which will debut in US theatres on 11 October, and internationally beginning 6 November. Directed by Academy Award® winning filmmaker Morgan Neville and featuring new original music from Pharrell, PIECE BY PIECE is a unique cinematic experience that invites audiences on a vibrant journey through the life of cultural icon Pharrell Williams. Developed from Pharrell’s singular vision, PIECE BY PIECE defies genres and expectations to transport audiences into a LEGO® world where anything is possible.

Patrick Wang: The Man Behind the Zoo Jitsu Fighters

Our Head of Global Business Development and avid toy enthusiast, Rodney Ramlochan, continues his ongoing series on the action figure community, highlighting key manufacturers, retailers, and YouTube podcasters. Ramlochan had the opportunity to meet Patrick Wang, the creator of Zoo Jitsu Fighters, at NY Comicon 2024.

Patrick Wang: The Man Behind the Zoo Jitsu Fighters

A Journey from Toys to the Mat


Patrick Wang, a name synonymous with the toy and collectible industry, has carved a unique niche for himself with his latest venture: Zoo Jitsu Fighters. This innovative line of action figures features anthropomorphic animals engaged in the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. But Wang’s journey to this point has been marked by passion, perseverance, and a love for both pop culture and the martial arts.

From Retail to Manufacturing

Wang’s involvement in the toy industry began in 1999 as a retailer. His passion for pop culture and his keen business sense led him to establish Icon Heroes, LLC, in 2008. This manufacturing company has since secured a wide range of licenses, including iconic franchises like ThunderCats, Masters of the Universe, DC Comics, and Harry Potter.

A Martial Artist’s Vision

While Wang’s professional life has been centered around pop culture, his personal passion lies in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A 2nd degree black belt under the renowned Mendes Brothers, Wang has dedicated countless hours to training and competing in the martial art. This passion, coupled with his love for pop culture, led him to envision a unique concept: animals practicing Jiu Jitsu.

The Birth of Zoo Jitsu Fighters

The idea of anthropomorphic animals engaging in martial arts was a novel one. Wang enlisted the talented team at Four Horsemen Studios, longtime friends and collaborators, to bring his vision to life. With their expertise, the Zoo Jitsu Fighters were born, featuring meticulously sculpted animals in authentic Jiu Jitsu gis, ready to grapple and submit.

Expanding the Universe

The response to Zoo Jitsu Fighters has been overwhelming. To further immerse fans in this captivating world, Wang launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a comic book series. The campaign was a resounding success, and early copies of the comic sold out within 1.5 days at New York Comic Con. The accompanying action figures also met with similar demand, selling out in just 2.5 days.

With the initial success of the line, Wang has exciting plans for the future. Additional comic books, action figures, and even a plush line are in the works, expanding the Zoo Jitsu Fighters universe.

Patrick Wang’s journey from toy retailer to the creator of Zoo Jitsu Fighters is a testament to his passion, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit. His ability to combine his love for martial arts with his industry expertise has resulted in a truly unique and captivating line of collectibles that has resonated with fans around the world.

U2’s 20th Anniversary

To mark the 20th anniversary of U2’s critically-acclaimed eight-time Grammy-winning album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, Interscope Records today announce the release of a shadow album titled How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb, which includes new, unreleased songs discovered in the archive of the original album recording sessions. Set for a standalone release on November 29, the first songs to be made available from How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb are ‘Country Mile’ and ‘Picture Of You (X + W)’, listen here. Watch lyric videos here.

To further celebrate the anniversary of this seminal album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb has now been remastered for the first time, a process which saw the band go back to the vault to revisit those early ‘00s recording sessions, a period of intense creativity for U2 in the studio, as well as a time of deep personal and artistic reflection following the passing of Bono’s father Bob in 2001. This special 20th anniversary edition – out November 22 – will include the bonus track ‘Fast Cars’. See below for a complete list of formats. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Re-Assemble Edition) – featuring both How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb + How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb – will be available as a dual digital availableNovember 22.

The Edge said of How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb – “The sessions for ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ were such a creative period for the band, we were exploring so many song ideas in the studio. We were inspired to revisit our early music influences, and it was a time of deep personal introspection for Bono who was attempting to process – dismantle – the death of his father.

For this anniversary edition I went into my personal archive to see if there were any unreleased gems and I hit the jackpot. We chose ten that really spoke to us. Although at the time we left these songs to one side, with the benefit of hindsight we recognize that our initial instincts about them being contenders for the album were right, we were onto something.

What you’re getting on this shadow album is that raw energy of discovery, the visceral impact of the music, a sonic narrative, a moment in time, the exploration and interaction of four musicians playing together in a room… this is the pure U2 drop.”

How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb is a collection of ten songs taken from the original recording sessions for ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ – U2’s critically acclaimed, eight-time Grammy winning album – recently rediscovered in the band’s archive and now released for the first time as a standalone album. This shadow album includes new, never-before-heard or previously released songs – ‘Treason’, ‘Evidence Of Life’, ‘Country Mile’ and ‘Happiness’; plus a song called ‘Luckiest Man In The World’ – familiar to fans under its working title ‘Mercy’, an early demo of which was leaked online almost 20 years ago – which now gets its official release; as well as five newly remastered songs – ‘Picture Of You (X+W)’, ‘I Don’t Wanna See You Smile’, ‘Are We Gonna Wait Forever?’, ‘Theme From The Batman’ and ‘All Because Of You 2’ – all collected together for the first time to mark the 20th anniversary of ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is U2’s eleventh studio album. Released by Island Records / Interscope on November 22, it went to No. 1 in 34 countries around the world, including Ireland, the UK, and the US. Described by Bono at the time as “our first rock album”, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb was recorded at the band’s studio in Hanover Quay, Dublin and the South of France, and produced by Steve Lilywhite, with additional production from Chris Thomas, Flood, Jacknife Lee, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Nellee Hooper and Carl Glanville. The 11 tracks included the songs ‘Vertigo’ and ‘Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own’, both of which debuted at No. 1 in the UK charts, the first time a U2 album produced two charts topping singles. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and its singles won a total of eight Grammy Awards, sweeping all of the categories in which the band were nominated, with ‘Vertigo’ alone winning three in 2005, including Best Rock Song. The band were the night’s big winners in 2006, taking home the Grammy for Album of the Year, as well as Song of the Year for ‘Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own’ and Best Rock Song for ‘City of Blinding Lights’, with Steve Lilywhite also winning Producer of the Year.
