If the future is written, the Muse is a dead woman and there is nothing the gods can do about it. In the bigger-than-life series finale, Emma Sonnet encounters her final destiny - but will it mean her death?

Written by Simon Oliver Art by Goran Sudzuka Cover by Glenn Fabry

Cab driver Francis 'Chas' Chandler leads an unremarkable existence. His greatest moments have come tagging along with John Constantine -- as a chauffeur. His home life is nothing special, and his beloved London is becoming a soulless metropolis. In middle age, Chas is stuck in a rut.

But Chas is a master of 'The Knowledge,' the elaborate system of routes and landmarks which every London cabbie must memorize. Until now, The Knowledge has been just a tool for Chas. But now, he's about to discover a more sinister significance of The Knowledge.

An ominous entity from London's grim history has reemerged, and only someone with The Knowledge can stop it. Is Chas up to the task, on his own? From the feverish mind of Simon Oliver (THE EXTERMINATORS, GEN 13) with lush artwork by Goran Sudzuka (Y: THE LAST MAN, LADY CONSTANTINE), THE KNOWLEDGE is Chas's chance to make his own mark on the dark universe of HELLBLAZER.

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!

The acclaimed series of Kotobukiya ARTFX Statues expands with the addition of the highest requested characters from the Star Wars universe:

THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES!

From the darkest chapter of the saga, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader has summoned six of the fiercest mercenaries in the universe: Dengar, Zuckass, Boba Fett, IG-88, Bossk…and the corrupted protocol droid 4-LOM.

While his name is officially an acronym of 'For Love Or Money', 4-LOM seems to prefer the latter, as his core programming has been modified in order for acts of crime to be found enjoyable to him.

Armed with his BlasTech LJ-90 Concussion Rifle held high, 4-LOM stands 11 inches tall, and is superbly detailed throughout, with particular attention shown in the intricacies of his abdominal area.

KOTOBUKIYA STAR WARS THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES-IG-88 VINYL MODEL KIT

• 11 3/4' tall

Kotobukiya is expanding its line of statues with a series of six popular bounty hunters from the Star Wars saga.

Second in the series is the highly sought after IG-88. IG-88 is a tall, spindly humanoid droid completely loaded with a deadly gas dispenser, a flamethrower, a sonic stunner, a pulse cannon and a neural inhibitor projectile launcher. IG-88 became a bounty hunter and achieved legendary notoriety having killed over 150 beings.

He had 'dismantle-on-sight' warrants in over 40 systems before he answered Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon.

Each of the Bounty Hunters will come with a special bonus part-collect all six bounty hunters and create a $100 full-size Darth Vader statue from the bonus parts!

The bonus piece included with IG-88 is unknown at time of solicitation.

With its large scale this statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill.
