Moonstone is bringing back The Originals! And a whole truck-load of pulp-ish goodness headed your way this month.
Black Bat – DA Anthony Quinn is sick of watching criminals slip through his fingers due to legal technicalities. When a mobster’s attempt to destroy evidence goes horribly wrong, Quinn finds himself blinded by acid and hopelessly broken. Now sightless, Quinn sharpens his other four senses to near superhuman levels and develops a sixth ‘radar’ sense. He vows to work outside the law to do whatever it takes to bring criminals to justice.
The second feature stars Death Angel, the avenging hand of justice. The critically acclaimed new pulp character co-stars in this gritty, noir battle of good versus evil on the mean streets and in the darkest recesses of the human mind.

**Look for a BATTLE for LOS ANGELES movie in 2011 starring Michelle Rodriguez and Aaron Eckhart!
In Feb, 1945, an object (or objects) appeared in the night sky above Los Angeles.
The US anti-aircraft artillery opened fire, and over 1000 shells were fired at this object(s), but to no avail, nothing was brought down.
What this object was remains a mystery to this day!
Moonstone has unearthed the classified govt documents that show the real truth! The Phantom Detective, The Black Bat, Domino Lady, G-8, and Secret Agent X all teamed up to get rid of this threat!
