title: Court of the Dead: The Chronicle of the Underworld
author: Tom Gilliland
description: "In Sideshows new property,<i>Court of the Dead</i>, the underworld contains multitudes: processing station, de-militarized zone, bohemian art enclave. Here, the underworld was originally founded by Death as a buffer zone between Heaven and Hell, but is now on the path to becoming an independent, self-determined kingdom full of weirdos and misfits trying to find a place in the celestial cosmos outside of the eternal war between Heaven and Hell."<br /> <br /> Entertainment Weekly Online
