LADY DEATH: UNHOLY RUIN #1 INVADES KICKSTARTER NEXT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23!
Next week, we’re launching a new crowdfunding campaign for Lady Death: Unholy Ruin #1 on Kickstarter!
Unholy Ruin #1 is a 48-page full color square-bound graphic novel that continues the ongoing story established by Coffin’s five previous Lady Death titles: Chaos Rules, Damnation Game, Extinction Express, Oblivion Kiss and Merciless Onslaught. Lady Death creator Brian Pulido and co-writer Mike MacLean (Lady Death, La Muerta) return as writers. Series artist Dheeraj Verma (Lady Death, Transformers) returns for pencils, with Ceci de la Cruz (La Muerta) on board as the new colorist.
In this chapter, News that her beloved mother Marion is being held captive leads Lady Death straight into Gore Galore: a horrific, twisted reality show televised throughout Hell that pits the Diva of Death against hordes of cannibal serial killers, supernatural slashers and even former allies. It’s a suicide trap masterminded by the Hellbourne Elders to wipe Lady Death off the face of Hell! Can Lady Death prevail and be reunited with her mother?
Meanwhile, Hellwitch and her Hellbourne army descend to exact revenge! Featuring the return of a beloved character, the introduction of mystic Mr. Atticus Marrow and the reintroduction of War Angel!
“Expect the unexpected,” says publisher and creator Brian Pulido. “The tone of the story is both deadly serious and insanely twisted. To emphasize this, the Unholy Ruin Kickstarter campaign will be a carnival madhouse! You have been warned!”
A wide assortment of reward tiers containing limited edition books, prints and collectible trading cards will be available to backers on the Unholy Ruin #1 Kickstarter campaign. An all-star lineup of cover artists will be joining the project, including: Eric Basaldua (“Ebas”), Jenevieve Broomall, Elias Chatzoudis, Ceci de la Cruz, David Harrigan, Mike Krome, Dawn McTeigue, Ula Mos, Richard Ortiz, Paolo Pantalena, Sabine Rich, Jesse Wichmann and more!
The Lady Death: Unholy Ruin #1 Kickstarter campaign will launch on August 23, 2017 at 7:00PM MST/PDT (Arizona Time) and will end on September 22, 2017 at 7:00PM MST/PDT (Arizona Time). Kickstarter backers will be the first to read the new story, months before it’s released to the general comics market!
