Available only in Italy, unfortunately…

From the collaboration between Tripstillery Milano, Foodmetti and the extraordinary Japanese artist Peach Momoko comes HONO花, a limited edition gin created exclusively for Peach's Milanese visit. A project that combines art, taste and creative spirit in a collector's bottle, encased in never-before-seen artwork signed by the artist herself-a delicate and powerful vision that reflects her poetics and the essence of the gin itself. A gin like a work of art Made from a recipe personally conceived by Peach Momoko, HONO花 is a distillate that tells the story of the fusion of East and West, of purity of line and complexity of taste. The bottle is produced in a limited edition, designed as a collector's item for lovers of art and signature spirits. The artist Peach Momoko is one of the most acclaimed illustrators on the international scene. Known for her dreamlike covers and fusion of Japanese aesthetics and Western pop imagery, she regularly collaborates with Marvel Comics, MTG, Tool, One Piece trading cards and others. In addition, she has won two Eisner awards, considered the Oscars of comics. His visual universe--made of dreams, delicacy and strength--takes liquid form here in a gin that is both homage and self-portrait.

DD

Now that Ahmed's DAREDEVIL run has (mercifully) concluded and GREEN ARROW is (sadly) ending in December, can we please please please get ARROW's Chris Condon and Montos on DAREDEVIL? Ahmed's DD was the most uninteresting DD run I've read in years: though it started off intriguingly enough, it quickly became a slog that I continued solely out of my love of the character - something I swore I wouldn't do but it' DD. Thankfully, Erica Schultz's two Elektra-DD minis, (WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR and UNLEASH HELL) were both solid; wouldn't mind seeing her take on the main book, especially with how Ahmed left things.
