ZENESCOPE ENTERTAINMENT'S UNLEASHED

Zenescope Entertainment has announced Unleashed, a multi-series event that begins in April.

The event will include six mini-series and a total of 24 issues (some oversized) that tie directly into the Grimm Fairy Tales Universe. The story delve into the world of horror monsters while following those with the skills to hunt them.

Grimm Fairy Tales Unleasshed is the main seven-issue mini-series that begins when hundreds of formerly trapped vampires, werewolves, demons and zombies are all released on Earth by a very powerful entity known as "The Being." Four separate monster hunters (who readers will get to know in separate Unleashed mini-series) join forces along with Grimm's kick-ass heroine Sela Mathers in order to stop them.

Three are five other mini-series will tie into Unleashed, including: The Eternal (Vampires), The Unseen (Demons), The Hunger (Werewolves) and The Cursed (Zombies). The fifth series, The Hunters: Shadowlands, will follow those who are chosen to hunt the creatures, including Zenescope's reimagined Van Helsing.

"Unleashed crosses several genres with a blend of horror, fantasy and action," said Zenescope's EIC, Ralph Tedesco. "We've wanted to bring classic but updated horror monsters into the Grimm Universe for a while and we came up with an all-encompassing event that would allow us to introduce a lot of great new characters in a captivating way. A couple of examples include a reinvented female version of the classic Van Helsing character and Elijah, a freed slave from the 19th century who kicks zombie ass. Fans are in for something they never would have expected to see in Grimm and they're going to absolutely love it!"

Unleashed will run from April to September. Click on the thumbnail above for the complete schedule.

* Marvel Comics has announced that artist Walter Simonson is joining writer Mark Waid on Indestructible Hulk with #6 in April.

Here's how the story is described:

"It’s off to Jotunheim, the land of the Frost Giants as Bruce Banner and his lab team embark on an all-new secret mission for S.H.I.E.L.D! Caught trespassing by the local natives, they’re going to need the help of the mighty Avenger, Thor!"

"Banner claims that he's taking his crew to Jotunheim in search of a specific element that exists only at Frost Giant temperatures," Waid said. "But Bruce has a hidden motive, as well. The real fun of it is how Bruce and his team get to Jotunheim in the first place; it's a nifty piece of applied science, if I do say so myself."
