On December 20-22, the geek festival “Homjakon” took place in Moscow. We will tell you how the second day went in our article. At the end, you will find an exclusive from “After the Credits” – a flash interview with Artyom Gabrelyanov

On the second day of the pop culture festival “Homjakon”, held from December 20 to 22 in Moscow, a secret project from the founders of BUBBLE was presented, along with a new addition to the universe of the visual horror novel “Zaychik” and the first details about the project “Major Grom: The Series”, which will be released on Kinopoisk in 2025. The day ended with a performance by the musical headliner — Sergey Goroshko and the rock band Chili Cheese.

On the second day of “Homjakon”, the BUBBLE publishing house delighted fans with a big presentation. Among the new releases were the comics “Razumovsky and Volkov. Road to Nowhere” about the heroes’ childhood and their meeting, “Major Grom. Book 9. Against All,” a collaboration with the delivery service “Kuper” — “Major Grom and Kuper. Storm of the District,” and the final volumes of the “Exlibrium” line.

The founders of BUBBLE also presented a secret project — the website “CRE8!”, developed jointly with the team of Dima Syenduk. This is a platform for authors who write stories and fan fiction, create comics, manga, and art. After the New Year, a monetization system will appear for those who want to earn money from their creativity. The first special project of the service will be an official printed art book with fan drawings.

Tikhon Zhiznevsky and Nikita Tarasov presented a series based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel: the actors not only answered questions from the audience but also held a raffle for the cloak worn by the main character Rodion Raskolnikov, played by Ivan Yankovsky.

Now let's share our exclusive. We asked a few questions to the founder of Bubble Comics publishing house, screenwriter and producer Artyom Gabrelyanov.

— Which of the two projects was more difficult to prepare and shoot: “The Plague Doctor” or “The Game”? And which project is more beloved?

— It was harder to shoot “The Plague Doctor,” and harder to prepare for “The Game.” I don't divide films into more or less beloved — it's like with children, you love each one in your own way.

— In “” there is a scene of collaboration between famous bloggers. In “The Plague Doctor” media personalities also appear. Which celebrity would you like to see in future projects?

Fallen Angel of the City: Review of the Film “Major Grom: The Game”

“Major Grom: The Game” has launched in theaters, a Russian premiere that loyal fans of the adventures of the Russian superhero (and not only) have been waiting for several years. Did their expectations

— There is a long-standing dream to feature the famous detective department from “Streets of Broken Lanterns.” But so far it hasn't been possible to realize it.

— Big film franchises have amusement parks. Can we hope for an Igor Grom park? And what would the main attraction be?

— If we make an amusement park, it should be based on the entire comic universe, because we have over 100 different heroes. The attraction related to Major Grom must definitely be a roller coaster with many sharp rises and falls, like the story of Grom himself.

— In “MGChD” St. Petersburg appears as a museum city. Has the view of the city changed in “The Game” and what is the future of the city in future films? What location would you like to film or rebuild?

— We definitely are not going to change the city's landscape, it is beautiful as it is. And the main focus in the next part would like to be on the theme of water. After all, we almost didn't touch on it in previous films, and it is an important part of the city and its inhabitants.
