In a shocking move, Image/Skybound Entertainment dropped
the first issue of an all-new series by comics titans Robert Kirkman
(THE WALKING DEAD, OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA, OBLIVION SONG),
Scott M. Gimple (Punisher: Nightmare, writer and producer for The Walking Dead TV adaptation on AMC), and Chris Burnham (Batman Incorporated,
NAMELESS, NIXON'S PALS, OFFICER DOWNE), with colors by Nathan Fairbairn
and lettering by Rus Wooton, titled DIE!DIE!DIE! which will be
available for sale tomorrow.
"That's right, in stores TOMORROW! We want to make going to a comic shop
exciting again—a place for discovery! The internet has drained all
surprise and anticipation from comics. Everyone hears about exciting new
projects and then has to wait months or years for it to be in their
hands... and half the time at the end of that buildup, the stories get
spoiled in some lame attempt at getting wider media attention," Kirkman
dissed. "So, surprise! Here's a new monthly series. How cool is that?!
This is literally the only way I can be like Beyoncé."
Gimple added: "I spend most of my time working in TV, the big Walking Dead
programs keep me plenty busy, but I've had a burning passion for comics
since I was nine. I used to go to panels to see Robert Kirkman talk.
And now he’s writing quotes in a press release as me that I can read
over and tweak!”
DIE!DIE!DIE! promises to be a blood-soaked, no holds barred,
action-packed, irreverent story that fans won’t be able to rip their
eyes from. We live in an evil world where evil people do evil stuff all
the time and DIE!DIE!DIE! lifts the veil on a secret cabal within the
United States government that influences world matters through targeted
assassination. The world around us is manipulated right under our noses,
mostly for the better… but sometimes for individual gain, and sometimes
for the fun of it.
“We cooked up all sorts of great action sequences and horrific gross-out
gags for this book,” said Burnham. “Maybe we should have called it Puke!Puke!Puke!"
So if you’re hurting people, somehow making the world worse than it
already is, or even just standing in the way of something good
happening… someone could right now be giving the order for you to…
DIE!DIE!DIE!
DIE!DIE!DIE! #1 is available in stores NOW. Don’t miss it!
