Radical Publishing Looks To Put A New Twist On The Wyatt Earp Story In ‘Saints & Sinners’!
There are few genres that I appreciate more than westerns. “TOMBSTONE”, “THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY”, “PALE RIDER”, you name it I love it. And even though I might lean to the side of Doc Holliday when it comes to playing favorites I have to say that Radical Publishing’s new post-apocalyptic twist on Wyatt Earp titled “EARP: SAINTS & SINNERS” looks nothing short of awesome. For all the details and a look inside the first issue of the hyper-real artwork read on.
CREATED BY: Matt Cirulnick
WRITTEN BY: M. Zachary Sherman
“From creator Matt Cirulnick comes a modern-day reimagining of the classic western hero.
In a world where the American economy has all but collapsed to the levels of The Great Depression, celebrity bandits roam the country and the law is corrupt as the criminal it’s sworn to stop. Yet one lawman remains a steadfast moral compass for the people: WYATT EARP. Earp has collared more most-wanted men than any man in history- but after a violent assignment claims the life of his brother, Wyatt sets out to forge a simple life in the only boomtown left: Las Vegas. With gorgeous women and free-flowing money on endless tap, Sin City attracts more people than a modern gold rush. And though Earp no longer wears a U.S. Marshal’s badge here, his past is about to catch up to him. He’ll have to beat long Vegas odds to bring old-fashioned justice to Sin City.”
“EARP: SAINTS & SINNERS” #0 Of 3 Goes On-Sale From Radical Publishing This May For Only A Buck!
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
