President Kennedy's Mission Shortened
President Kennedy's Mission, the original comic book series currently being produced by Hermes Press, is being dramatically shortened. When Hermes introduced the new story in March 2017, it was announced as an "all-new Phantastic adventure [written by] veteran Phantom script writer Ron Goulart [together with] with artist Sean Joyce", and specifically, a "five book story arc". Unfortunately, these plans have changed - there will now only be three books in the story. This week,

Where is JFK?
It's been over two months since we first reported the 30th June 2017 release date for Hermes Press' new comic book series The Phantom: President Kennedy's Mission. Unfortunately that date has come and gone with no sign of the books, so the question must be asked: where is JFK? The short answer is - it's been delayed. Why? The San Diego Comic Con (July 20-23) is to blame! For the latest update, the ChronicleChamber team has gone straight to the source, Managing Director Sabrin

The Latest From Hermes Press
Hermes Press have sent out some images of more of their upcoming releases. Hot on the heels of last week's announcement of the June 30 release date of The Phantom: President Kennedy's Mission #1, we can look ahead at the pencils and inks for the cover of issue #2. Fair to say that once again Sean Joyce is creating a stunning cover. It is an incredibly dynamic image, and should look absolutely amazing once coloured. Meanwhile, Hermes are also continuing to do what they do so w

Danger in the Forbidden City - TPB Review
From late 2014 through to early 2016, it seemed like Phantom phans around the world were always eagerly awaiting the next installment of Hermes' Press original new Phantom story, Danger in the Forbidden City. Perhaps that's because the wait between issues became, at time, interminable. Phans were forced to wait as many as 3 to 4 months between chapters of the 6-part story, and the full impact of the story was lost for some. Thankfully then, there is the recently released Trad

New Hermes Artist Named – Sean Joyce
Thanks to Guy Poissant who posted the rear cover of issue #6 of the first Hermes Press mini series on his Facebook page, which shows the new artist including a promo image of the Phantom standing with Diana and Devil. News of him until now has been hush hush, which lead to some rumours that a big surprise was in store with the new artist that will be doing the second Hermes mini series. However that was not the case. Not much is known about Joyce and he is a relatively unknow
