IMAGE COMICS' THE WICKED WEST
Image Comics has announced the October release of The Wicked West, a new graphic novel written by Todd Livingston and Robert Tinnell, with art by Neil Vokes. The trio are the creators of The Black Forest, an original graphic novel released by Image this past April.
Here's how Image describes the book, which will be 96 pages in color and will cost $9.95.
"In The Wicked West, Cotton Coleridge is a man on the run from his past. His attempts to settle in a small Texas frontier town are destroyed when the town comes under assault from vampires. And soon he finds himself fighting off hordes of the Undead."
"Imagine the Outlaw Josey Wales riding into Salem's Lot," Livingston said. "That's a pretty accurate take on the basic story -- though there's a lot more to it than that.
"If you loved The Black Forest youšll love The Wicked," Livingston said, "And Neil's work is going to be every bit as jaw-dropping here as it was in TBF -- in fact, I'd say it's even moreso."
"Our goal with The Wicked West," said Tinnell, "is a continuation of our efforts on The Black Forest. Namely, to deliver a quality book for a reasonable price."
SPIDER-MAN MOVIE UPDATE
Spider-Man 2 pulled in $9.1 million on Thursday, pushing it to $211.2 million.
