Swords, sorcery, and mad science square off as the cult-cinema hero DEATHSTALKER bursts into comics with an all-star lineup of creators featuring SLASH (Guns N' Roses) in this action-packed adventure!
The cult-cinema hero Deathstalker bursts into comics from an all-star lineup of creators including Slash (Guns N' Roses), writer-director Steven Kostanski (The Void, Psycho Goreman), Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Jim Terry (West of Sundown). Hired to escort a perfect priestess and her to a celebration of purity, Deathstalker's journey doesn't go as planned (damn those good looks and big sword). Once again, Deathstalker is on the run caught between forces larger than himself, including the virgin-worshipping cult, a sorcerer hell-bent on saving the world through mad science, and the pissed-off army of the Abraxeon kingdom...not to mention his ex-lover, Princess Evie. Monsters, magic, and mayhem abound! Can't a guy just swing his sword anymore? Slash Presents: DEATHSTALKER: The Damned Blood Written by Tim Seeley (Vampire: The Masquerade, Money Shot, West of Sundown, Hack/Slash, Revealer), Steven Kostanski (writer/director of The Void and Psycho Goreman), and Slash (Guns N' Roses). Illustrated by Jim Terry (West of Sundown, Heavy Metal, Come Home, Indio) Cover Art by the legendary fantasy artist Boris Vallejo and modern master Nathan C. Gooden (Barbaric, Brandon Sanderson's Dark One). The Deathstalker Kickstarter (for exclusive hardcovers) was fully funded in less than 12 hours, sported the much-coveted "Projects We Love" label, was a "Featured Project of the Day!," and overfunded 150%! The DEATHSTALKER: The Damned Blood trade paperback is the prequel to the upcoming movie reboot of DEATHSTALKER (by director Steven Kostanski) and includes the entire 3-issue miniseries and the BARBARIC vs. DEATHSTALKER crossover one-shot (written by Michael Moreci (Barbaric, Wasted Space, Revealer, The Plot, Spree) and Tim Seeley, illustrated by Nathan C. Gooden)! The super special one-shot features the cursed barbarian Owen and the warrior- king Deathstalker as the two most reluctant heroes of all time to square off in a clash of steel.
