The brand-new creator-owned comic book and collectibles company, DSTLRY, reveals its debut collectible and mascot, Mominu.
Mominu is a red panda whose colors are inspired by the publisher’s upcoming and first comic book The Devil’s Cut (which will be released August 30). DSLTRY’s CCO, Chip Mosher, states that the one-shot features self-contained stories that “lay the foundation for series to come.” He further explains that “these eight stories found in The Devil’s Cut are not previews, but the first appearances of new worlds from our Founding Creators and Friends.”
Mominu is designed by one of DSTLRY’s founding creators, Junko Mizuno. The artist also created a special 1-in-100 FOC variant cover for The Devil’s Cut that will be sold alongside the toy at select stores. The figure is Mizuno’s very first take on the mascot which DSTLRY states evokes “imagery of both Western and Japanese devils and demons.”

Mizuno describes the process of designing Mominu as “very exciting and challenging”. The artist emphasizes how “Mominu fits the concept of DSTLRY perfectly — edgy and fierce, but sometimes sweet,” and adds that she “can’t wait to see what other artists do with Mominu!”
