After capping his 70-issue run Witchblade and totally tearing apart the Top Cow universe in Artifacts, writer Ron Marz is now focusing his efforts on spilling buckets of blood in his new horror/martial arts series Shinku with artist Lee Moder from Image Comics.
Shinku is the epic story of one samurai’s war against a clan of vampires, as she tries to eradicate every last blood-sucker on the planet. The solicitations for this book summarized it best with, “If you’re looking for vampires that sparkle … this ain’t it.” Shinku is a vampire story with balls and it brings back the gritty, stomach turning horror that has been missing from other vampire titles on shelves.
Ron sat down with Bloody-Disgusting to discuss the genesis of Shinku, the pitfalls of creator owned titles in today’s market and how the series is the antidote to the current vampire trends happening in comics.
