THE VALLEY OF GWANGI
Composed and Conducted by JEROME MOROSS
INTRADA ISC 405 At long last, Intrada presents Jerome Moross' original soundtrack to the Ray Harryhausen fantasy The Valley of Gwangi, thanks to the generous participation of Warner Bros. Pictures.   Moross’ opening main title features confident western rhythms that harken back to Moross’ score to The Big Country, and yet its  powerful solo trumpet speaks both to the film’s western nature and to Gwangi himself. Jerome Moross’ distinctive Americana musical style was most befitting for a “western” film packed with cowboy heroics.

To release Jerome Moross’ entire score for The Valley of Gwangi on CD, Intrada had to do a considerable amount of work to find suitable elements. Intrada ultimately located material from several mono sources, all fortunately free of any dialog or effects. These included: two brief reels provided by Tom O’Steen of the Starlog label some time ago; numerous surviving cues from the sessions kept by Jer…

The Hunt for Wolverine is over – but the mystery of Logan’s return continues with new questions and new secrets! And the answers that Tony Stark, Kitty Pryde, Sabretooth and Daredevil have found in their search for the adamantium mutant may not be the ones they were expecting.

This August, Charles Soule (Hunt For Wolverine, Death of Wolverine) and Ramon Rosanas (Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey) bring you a story that ties each unique HUNT FOR WOLVERINE adventure together – in a one-shot you won’t want to miss!

“The four Hunt For Wolverine miniseries all follow different threads in pursuit of our pointy-fisted friend, and each comes to a conclusion with different pieces of the puzzle,” teases editor Jordan D. White. “With DEAD ENDS, the players assemble to bring those puzzle together and see what they learned… but they might not like what they find.”

What has Wolverine been doing? And where has he been? The questions continue in HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: DEAD ENDS, available i…

Featuring a new story from Hugo and Nebula Award winner Seanan McGuire and Marco Failla! This summer, Kitty Pryde will make the biggest romantic leap of her life – but what about Kitty’s first romantic adventure? Hugo and Nebula Award-winning writer Seanan McGuire (October Daye, Wayward Children series) and celebrated artist Marco Failla (Ms. Marvel, All-New Wolverine) are bringing you the Kitty before Colossus in X-MEN GOLD ANNUAL #2!

“I am over the moon to be working with this amazing creative team and in this world that I have wanted to be a part of for most of my life,” shared McGuire. “Like so many of us, I started reading the X-Men before I was old enough to have been a student at Xavier's Academy. Kitty Pryde was my hero for most of my childhood. She was smart, she was curious, she got to be an X-Man and go to space and have a dragon for a friend--she was basically everything I wanted to be.”

“The thing about Kitty is that she was the only teenager on the team for a long t…

The all-new team-up begins this August! The West Coast Avengers are getting back together – with an all-new team! This August, join Kate Bishop, Clint Barton, America Chavez, Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, and Fuse (a.k.a. Johnny, Kate’s way-in-over-his-head boyfriend) in a brand new story from Marvel exclusive writer Kelly Thompson (Hawkeye, Rogue & Gambit) and Stefano Caselli (Invincible Iron Man)!
“They all need and want something from being on that team together,” Thompson told Marvel.com in an official announcement. “Kate needs to help save LA, and she needs help to do that because villains have taken notice that there are no Super Heroes out there. I think there’s part of her that misses [being on a team] too.”
