Completely out of nowhere, Image/Skybound Entertainment just dropped the first issue of an all-new comic book series from Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. From a team that includes Scott M. Gimple and artist Chris Burnham, the bloody and brutal DIE!DIE!DIE! was announced late last night, and wouldn’t ya know it, it’s already available TODAY!
“We want to make going to a comic shop exciting again—a place for discovery! The internet has drained all surprise and anticipation from comics,” says Kirkman. “Everyone hears about exciting new projects and then has to wait months or years for it to be in their hands… and half the time at the end of that buildup, the stories get spoiled in some lame attempt at getting wider media attention. So, surprise! Here’s a new monthly series. How cool is that?! This is literally the only way I can be like Beyoncé.”
DIE!DIE!DIE! promises to be a blood-soaked, no holds barred, action-packed, irreverent story that fans won’t be able to rip their eyes from. We live in an evil world where evil people do evil stuff all the time and DIE!DIE!DIE! lifts the veil on a secret cabal within the United States government that influences world matters through targeted assassination. The world around us is manipulated right under our noses, mostly for the better… but sometimes for individual gain, and sometimes for the fun of it.
