\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just before the San Diego Comic Con (hopefully explaining the delay!) I got a pretty amazing item in the mail, The Malinky Robot “Box of Things”, a limited edition box set of cool items from author Sonny Liew’s Malinky Robot<\/a>, recently published by Image Comics. This was a lovely gift from Sonny and I’m quite happy to have received it. So in the spirit of sharing, I thought I’d photograph the unboxing for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ooo… opening the box!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, and the back of the box because I forgot to photograph it. You can click on everything to see a larger version…! The blurbs from Mike Carey, Gail Simone, and Mike Mignola are quite nice, but my fav bit is the ingredients list on the back. “DISCLAIMER: Not for comics allergy sufferers. Igredients: PICTURES, WORDS, SEQUENTIAL PANELS, WORD BALLOONS, CPATION BOXES, GUTTERS, MOTION LINES, ENEMATA…” very cool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the complete box, unpacked. Clockwise from top: The box, “The San’ya Times” newspaper, a copy of the book (available now from Image Comics!), a mystery bag, a CD!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The inside of the CD booklet is cool, and the CD contains all sorts of neat bonus stuff like reviews, interviews, a digital copy of the newspaper, and a gallery including image like the French Edition cover, as shown here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside the paper package was a fake pack of cigarettes, and a fake 500 yen note, both from the series. Really lovely looking too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and inside the cigarette pack are these trading cards from the series, one for each of the main characters and one for each of the stories. Heh! Super cute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The newspaper is also cool, with some extra comics, blurbs, pointers to Sonny Liew’s other work, and a bunch more stuff. Plus there’s that nifty PDF version on the CD.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, a copy of the book itself… signed and sketched-in by Sonny with a special little bookplate.<\/p>\n

All in all this is an amazing little package, and I’m really grateful to Sonny for putting it together and sending it my way. I’ve been a fan of Malinky Robot since its very first appearance, and I’m happy to see it collected, and to see that it’s still something that the creator clearly loves.<\/p>\n

You can visit Sonny Liew’s site online at\u00a0http:\/\/sonnyliew.wordpress.com\/<\/a>\u00a0and you can buy Malinky Robot wherever better Image Comics trade paperbacks are sold.<\/p>\n
