- MEDIEVAL LADY DEATH RETURNS!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scottsdale, Arizona. Medieval Lady Death,
the popular fantasy character first launched at
Crossgen Entertainment rises like a phoenix out
of the ashes and returns to comic shops across the
globe this February courtesy of Avatar
Press and creator/writer Brian Pulido.
The new monthly, all-ages series picks
up where Lady Death: A Medieval Tale
left off. “Imagine the mood and tone of Lord
of The Rings, but picture the main (“anti”)-heroine
a powerful, pale skinned woman and her enemies ancient,
magical beings called The Eldritch who use spells
to thwart human warrior knights,” says creator
Brian Pulido.
“Humanity's
last hope for survival is Lady Death..." |
“Humanity's last hope for survival is Lady
Death, an outcast who is half-human, half-Eldritch,
and all attitude. She is part of both clans, but
belongs to neither. Bearing the sword of vengeance
Lady Death roams the medieval realms protecting
the very people who fear her.”
Though Avatar
Press is known for publishing edgy
material by top creators like Garth Ennis, Alan
Moore and Warren Ellis, Medieval Lady Death
will be an all ages comic. “This series continues
with the same characters, mood and tone,”
says Pulido. “We are very aware of the “medieval”
fan base and what their tastes are and we won’t
change this LD one iota. This Lady Death aspires
to a heroic ideal and we won’t change that.
I love writing her adventures and invite fans of
Sojourn and Lady Death: a Medieval Tale to jump
on board.
“We
are being careful to make this a good jumping
on point for new readers,” |
Sometimes it’s confusing for readers to start
a new series, but Pulido is prepared for that. “We
are being careful to make this a good jumping on
point for new readers,” he says. “To
assure this, we’ve hired Barbara Kesel
as editor. Barbara was my editor on Lady Death:
a Medieval Tale. She knows the characters as well
as I do and she is the secret weapon to the success
of the series”.
Joining Pulido on artist chores is newcomer DiAmorium
and Wellington. Art teams will rotate every
four issues to maintain the monthly schedule. The
first arc’s artist is DiAmorium. He’s
being careful to create the mood and look of the
original series. The second artist is Wellington,
a protégé of former Lady Death artist
Ivan Reis.
To enhance the series launch legendary creator George
Perez has contributed a premium edition
cover, which will be auctioned off by Heritage auctions
in late February to benefit the CBLDF.
Brian Pulido’s MEDIEVAL LADY DEATH
#1 is a full color, monthly on-going series.
Cover Price: $3.99 US. Readership: All ages |

- KILLER GNOME ON THE LOOSE!
Scottsdale, Arizona. Brian Pulido,
Chaos! Comics founder and creator of beloved evil
characters Lady Death, Evil Ernie and others has
just completed his first short horror film. The
sixteen minute short “There’s
Something Out There” was shot on film
and is based on an original screenplay by Pulido
and produced through his production company, Eternal
Entertainment.
“Directing
my first on screen murder was a delight.” |
“I’ve been a dedicated horror fan since
I was a kid, “Pulido confides. “Directing
my first on screen murder was a delight”.
Filmed in and around a townhouse in Scottsdale Arizona
over six nights, the story revolves around Penny
and Brad, a couple with marital problems. When Brad
brings home a garden gnome to protect the garden,
an innocent gift turns into a murderous nightmare
as the pint-sized killer takes protecting the garden
to a terrifying, relentless extreme. “I must
have been haunted by those Travelocity commercials,”
Pulido confesses.
To fund the film, Pulido sold his comic book collection
on E-Bay. “It took a couple of months, but
we did it,” Pulido says. “I can thanks
Marvel’s monster comics for starting my film
career.” A talented crew including an award
winning cameraman, sound designer, composer and
visual effects team all jumped on board, but Pulido
credits the actors performance for selling the terror.
“The cast is amazing. Patti Tindall our heroine
had a very demanding, physical role. Her character
is frail in the beginning, but taps into unknown
strength to combat the gnome. Patti got thirty cuts
and bruises by the end of production. I’m
proud of that.”
“Patti
got thirty cuts and bruises by the end of
production. I’m proud of that.” |
With a garden gnome as the threat can audiences
expect a laugh riot?” Make no mistake, this
is an intense horror movie. This gnome is a crazed,
driven predator. I love evil in otherwise innocent
things,” Pulido says. “I’m paying
homage to the Zulu Warrior story from “Trilogy
of Terror” with Karen Black. The story was
contained to one location like mine. The Zulu seems
innocent at first, but you realize it is insane.”
To support the upcoming release of “There’s
Something Out There” this winter on DVD
(along with a host of extras), Avatar Press is releasing
the comic book KILLER GNOMES #1
in September, written by Pulido. “This is
a chance to expand on the story, not just adapt
it. There’s more to these murderous devils
than meets the eye and we get a taste of that in
the comic.”
Pulido’s Eternal Entertainment is developing
a feature length version of “There’s
Something Out There” and several other
horror screenplays for production. “Once you’ve
dipped your hands in stage blood, there’s
no going back, “ Pulido says.

LAUNCH "LADY DEATH: THE WILD HUNT"!

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 rossGen 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 for the record, Lady death : A Medieval Tale
will conclude with issue #12 and dovetail the next
month into the new series.
Has Pulido talked CrossGen Publisher into offering
a variant cover of LD TWH #1? Fans have been demanding
one. Only time will tell.
"Hey, you think this is big news?," Pulido
confided. "Wait until you hear what a certain
superstar creator has to announce at next week's
Wizardworld/ Texas convention. It concerns Lady
Death and it is very cool."
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.

HUNT #1 Signed, numbered, limited edition , signed
