IRVINE, Calif., April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcatel - the number four mobile phone manufacturer in North America[i] - today announced a new device category in partnership with the TCL brand, with the North American launch of Xess. Initially unveiled at CES in January, Xess is purpose built to be the perfect 17-inch accessory for the kitchen, whether it's for discovering and creating new meals via the pre-loaded recipe applications, accessing Nickelodeon content, such as PAW Patrol for kids, or catching up on the latest news and entertainment. Xess will be available for early-access purchase beginning on April 22 for the online exclusive price of $499 USD.

"We've been committed as a company to expanding the reach of our consumer technology and how it can bring better experiences and value to the lives of our customers, and with Xess, we're delivering a meaningful connected kitchen hub that allows users to access more of the content they want and need," said Steve Cistulli, President and General Manager for Alcatel, North America. "By bringing Xess to North America with the TCL brand, we leveraged their consumer electronics expertise with Alcatel's proven record of bringing the perfect amount of mobile technology to our customers at affordable prices.

The Xess launcher also comes with a dedicated IP camera portal, so parents can be at ease and keep a lookout on their kids while working in the kitchen or another room in their home where they may have Xess setup. The real star of Xess though is the content you have access to from partners like Viacom and others to be named later.

Nickelodeon content just for kids at families' fingertips

Planning meals is a whole lot easier with Xess thanks to pre-loaded recipe applications to find new recipes and cooking how-to videos for your favorite meals; making meal discovery and planning simple and something the whole family can take part in. Preparing those new meals is a breeze as well, with step-by-step how-to videos to help along the way and integrated shopping applications pre-loaded on Xess, allowing users to order groceries easily through these apps.

IDW Expands TMNT Comic World With "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe"

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series from IDW Publishing is getting a sister series called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe by writer Paul Allor and artist Damian Couceiro, with backups by writers Tom Waltz and TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and artist Bill Sienkiewicz, reports IGN UK!

Check out the cover for issue one by artist Freddie Williams II below!:


This new series will tell stories focused on various supporting characters in the TMNT world. Characters named by series editor Bobby Curnow include Casey Jones, Fugitoid, Old Hob, April, Nobody, Harold, and Baxter Stockman. Bobby also teased that fans will get a couple of brand new villains!

Allor, who has written previous TMNT comics Turtles in Time and Mutanimals, told IGN what fans expect from the story.

"This is a classic siege story, in the vein of Rio Bravo and Assault on Preinct 13. It's a brutal, action-packed siege story, packed with villains old and new, that's also very driven by the relationship between these four brothers," Allor said.

He also let shine his excitement to be working with Couceiro.

"His previous work -- including Cluster, his creator-owned book with Ed Brisson, of which I'm a big fan -- shows that he does big action and deep emotion incredibly well. I know he's gonna bring so much depth to this book, and I can't wait for people to see what we're cooking up," Allow said.

But why is now the time to expand IDW's TMNT line to two ongoing comics?

"Essentially, over the past four-plus years our TMNT world has grown too large to contain to one monthly title. There are dozens of fan-favorite characters. In short, we need a second title to do the 'TMNT Universe' justice," Curnow explained. "With two series we can flesh out these supporting characters more and devote greater time to the Turtles themselves and expanding their world. Our aim is to tell stories that are self-contained but complementary to the original ongoing TMNT title."

Curnow's vision is to simply let the creators do their thing and tell awesome TMNT stories.

"In addition to enabling us to tell stories that we might not get the time to otherwise, my aim for this series is encourage creators, both new and familiar to TMNT, to stretch their creative muscles and run. Often in the past we've been shackled a bit to the events of the ongoing title. Here, if a creator wants to tell a story that's a bit farther away, in either tone or plot, than what is happening in the ongoing title, we can explore it. My hope is that we'll be able to nurture and flourish the creativity that has always been a huge part of TMNT, and in doing so, bring new creators and readers to the title," Curnow said.

Curnow also revealed that his favorite Turtle is Leonardo!


The Turtley Awesome news comes after IDW also recently announced plans to launch TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything, a brand-new miniseries starring the humanoid mutant Warthog and Rhinoceros pair which will feature a madcap time-travel adventure that puts the fate in the universe in the hands of the Ninja Turtles' foes!

Here's the official solicitation info for the series, scheduled for release in August 2016:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #1

Paul Allor, Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz (w) / Damian Couceiro, Kevin Eastman, Bill Sienkiewicz (a) / Freddie Williams (c)

When a mysterious new mutant targets Baxter Stockman, it will be up to the TMNT to reluctantly save him. Little does everyone know that a larger trap is being laid by a new arch-foe! Plus a back-up story from TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and comics legend Bill Sienkiewicz!
