a variety of popular media formats rolling-out over the next two years
including, but not limited to, online, mobile, DVD, publishing and more. 

Time Jumper will first release as a ten-part series of 5-to-8 minute digital

July 24, Time Jumper's first episode will premiere exclusively on iTunes for
free, with additional episodes releasing through December 2009.  Retailing for
just $0.99 per episode on iTunes consumers will be able to easily download
Time Jumper on their Mac, PC, iPod with video, iPhone and/or widescreen TV
with Apple TV. 

Digitally produced using some of the latest motion graphic technology, Time
Jumper combines the traditional print look and feel of a comic book with
today's more cutting-edge multimedia elements, including edgy visuals,
effects, music, voice-overs and fast-paced storyboards, making it perfect to
watch on the widescreen of an iPod touch or iPhone.  Time Jumper is an
original series with illustrations and music created specifically for this
all-new story.  It remains true to the panel-by-panel comic book narrative,
bringing a new dimension to the more familiar print storytelling.

About Time Jumper:
Twenty-year-old college student Terry Dixon has the most unique mobile device
on Earth -- the Articulus, a time travel device developed by Terry's genius
father, Arthur Dixon.  To prevent the Articulus from falling into the wrong
hands, Arthur coded it to work only with his DNA.  After a laboratory
experiment claims Arthur's life, Terry and his older brother Sam become the
only people capable of using it.  Recruited into the secret crime fighting
organization H.U.N.T. (Heroes United, Noble and True) after the mysterious
disappearance of golden boy Sam, Terry becomes a reluctant hero living in his
brother's shadow.  As he struggles to fill his new role, unnatural shifts in
the course of history send Terry hurtling through time to capture Charity
Vyle, the diabolical leader of criminal cartel C.U.L.T. (Council of
Unstoppable, Lethal Terrorists).  But something more than just Terry's
molecules are being reconfigured as he leaps across time, and it threatens to
corrupt everything he understands about who he is, and whether the world is
actually worth saving after all.

Two Special Guest Voice Talents:
Fans can look forward to two special voice talent cameos as part of this new,
original digital motion comic series. One is Stan Lee himself, playing the
voice of Lee Excelsior, CEO of H.U.N.T. Headquarters, and the other is actress
Natasha Henstridge (Species, Eli Stone, The Whole Nine Yards) who plays the
voice of Charity Vyle, the evil, smart and seductive female villain.
