RON MARZ'S RUSSIAN SUNSET

Ron Marz's first creator-owned book from Desperado Publishing and Image Comics, Russian Sunset, is set to launch on Nov. 15.

Here's how Image describes the book:

"A comic that blends crime story and espionage thriller into one electrifying story, Russian Sunset follows Nik, a soldier for the Russian mob in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Born in Russia but raised in America, Nik's newest assignment takes him back to the country of his birth, where he's expected to broker the sale of a stolen nuclear warhead to Chechen terrorists.

"Slowly, Nik gets drawn into a dangerous web that includes brutal gangsters, seductive spies, fanatical terrorists, weapons of mass destruction and some unexpected revelations."

"This is a story where not everything, or everyone, is what they first appear to be," Marz said. "There are layers to the story, and hopefully a couple of surprises for readers along the way. I'm getting to do some things with this story that I haven't been able to do previously. These characters inhabit a violent, profane world, and we're not pulling any punches in how we depict that."

Serbian artist Mirko Colak, in his debut U.S. work, provides the art for Russian Sunset and brings a European sensibility mixed with a noir flavor that perfectly fits the tone of the series.

"When I first saw Mirko's work, I knew I wanted to work with him, and I knew the story had to be something with a tough sensibility," Marz said. "Russian Sunset is very much tailored to his strengths as an artist and storyteller. I think it's going to be a hell of a debut for him."

Covers for Russian Sunset will be by Bart Sears, Luke Ross, Cully Hamner, Brian Stelfreeze and Darryl Banks, Marz's former Green Lantern collaborator.

"Darryl and I have talked about doing something together for a few years now, and this opportunity seemed like a good fit," Marz said. "Hopefully next time we'll get together for some interiors."

* Devil's Due Publishing president Josh Blaylock has optioned R.A.Salvatore's DemonWars novel series for development in film, TV and merchandising.

"We've been working closely with Salvatore for going on two years now, and it didn't take long for us to realize we both saw eye to eye about the potential for his projects beyond novels," Blaylock said. "DemonWars is a property with huge potential, allowing for both grounded stories or the most fantastical battle scenes modern film technology can create."
