Planetwide Games, Inc., 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: KDE) and TC Digital announced an agreement in principle for the MashON Chaotic Comic Book Creator, an interactive software application utilizing Planetwide Games' MashON Platform to provide fans of the popular Chaotic Trading Card Game and television series an online tool to create customized comic books and graphic novels using licensed art and images from the brand. The software, available for free to all registered accounts on www.MashOn.com, is expected to be available by the end of the 2008 year.

Chaotic is a revolutionary trading card game which integrates a one-of-a-kind online multi-player experience. Complementing the trading card game is the Chaotic animated TV series, which can be seen daily on the Jetix block on Toon Disney and Saturday mornings on TheCW4Kids block on The CW Network. In addition, TC Digital recently launched Chaotic Battledrome Events, where the world's best Chaotic players face off in head-to-head live matches.

"The Chaotic Comic Book Creator offers fans another unique and innovative way to enhance their interactive entertainment experience," said Carlin West, Executive Vice President, Property Acquisitions & Development, 4Kids Entertainment. "The brand's vivid and distinctive imagery will offer fans a compelling environment in which to exercise their Chaotic creativity."

"As a kid, I always wondered what it would be like if I wrote my own personalized story of my favorite trading card characters" said Philippe Benoliel, CEO of Planetwide Games. "Now, with the click of the mouse, you can drag 'n drop Chaotic characters, speech bubbles, caption headers, clip art, audio, and video into the story to create your very own customized comic book that can be shared with your friends online."
