The folks at the recently revamped American Dream Comics have posted the official prototype pic of the Future Burns set. This set is due out next month as a New Force Comics and Electronics Boutique shared exclusive. The colors on this set have certainly improved since the original prototype.

We were told at the San Diego Comic Con that this should be in stores around October.

A "Treehouse of Horror" DVD set, the first in what seems will become a series of themed compilation R1 releases from Fox, has hit stores. The set includes four episodes- THOHs V, VI, VII, and XII.
