The Arcade Brewery has the Adventures of Dutch Courage coming out now in Chicago area beer stores. It is the second volume of their 6-Pack Stories: a special release beer inspired by the 6-panel comic on the bottles!
Arcade describes this year's beer as "enjoyable and unique as Dutch Courage. With subtle hints of juniper berries and lemon peel, this refreshing beer pairs perfectly with a comic full of twists and turns!"
Comic created by Jimmy Palmiotti & Darwyn Cooke.
for more info, check with Arcade Brewery or their facebook page where they recently announced:
"6-Pack Stories Packaging day! What an absolutely awesome beer with a nice bitter bite and hints of juniper and lemon peel. The complexity and depth of this session ale (4.6% ABV) is outstanding. Hitting shelves 11.18.15 - 6PM at The Beer Temple, Capones Liquor, Prestige Liquors and Binny's (Lincoln Park)."

To quote HitFix:
"Each figure is inspired by the intricate art styles of their respective artist and the art design is taken straight from the pages of DC’s comics.
Each of the Darwyn Cooke action figures have 11 points of articulation while the Lee Bermejo models come with 21 points of articulation (save for Lex Luthor, who only has 15.) All of them are made from high quality PVC and are priced at an MSRP of $25 a piece."

Revengeance! Coming in June via Image Comics!
REVENGEANCE is a psychological thriller with darkly humorous overtones. When Joe Malarky is faced with a criminal tragedy, he sets out to make things right on his own. What follows is Joe's odyssey through the underside of the city and the madness that seems to drive his crazy world. REVENGEANCE takes place in Toronto in the mid-eighties and is part crime story, part psychotronic melodrama, and a wholly fond look back at the author's hometown.
