PULIDO & CHEUNG HUNT LADY DEATH!

Jim Cheung Joins Brian Pulido To Launch LADY DEATH: THE WILD HUNT!

November 19, 2003

Here's the bad news: Your family, who would just as soon kill you as hug you, have conquered Europe. Your friends hate you, and your only allies are former foes. And when you're not fighting a guerilla war against the ruling forces, you're battling monsters and avoiding pockets of land that obey the laws of magic, not physics.

On the positive side, superstar artist Jim Cheung is now illustrating your adventures.

Such is the life of Lady Death, born of two bloodlines, yet belonging to neither. For the last year, writer Brian Pulido re-imagined his dark maiden, introducing the young woman named Hope to a new audience in the pages of LADY DEATH: A MEDIEVAL TALE. This March, former X-Force and Scion artist Jim Cheung joins Pulido as the series' timeline jumps forward an entire year, offering readers new visuals, new challenges, and new surprises in LADY DEATH: THE WILD HUNT.

"Perfect for lovers of dark-edged fantasy, THE WILD HUNT is crafted to shock existing fans while making complete sense to new readers," stated Pulido. "The story starts with medieval Europe now ruled by the Eldritch, an ancient magical race out to extinguish humanity, who they view as cockroaches. Even though they're outnumbered underdogs, it's up to Lady Death and her underground fighters to drive the supernatural race back through the rift they stormed through. But Hope's father was Eldritch and her mother was human. So while she looks Eldritch, Lady Death is hated by the very people she wants to save."

"I really like how the TV show 24 jumps forward in time each season. It's cool to see how the characters progress, change or transform," explained Pulido. "I wanted to do the same with LADY DEATH so I could accelerate the story, amp up the conflicts, and surprise readers."

"When Jim Cheung joined the LADY DEATH team, we all smiled," said CrossGen Senior V.P. of Publishing Bill Rosemann. "Whenever a top-tier talent takes on a cool character, the results are often magic. And after seeing Jim's first pages, that's truly the case here. So in addition to launching fresh new titles like El Cazador, Abadazad, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, we're also looking at how we can make every existing title stronger. And Cheung's definitely delivering the power!"

BRIAN PULIDO'S LADY DEATH: THE WILD HUNT #1, crafted by the creative team of writer Brian Pulido, penciler Jim Cheung, inker Mark Pennington, and colorist Sumi Pak, is scheduled to reach stores on February 25th. The 32-page, $2.95 debut issue will be available for order in the December issue of Diamond's Previews catalog.
