Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer

As they enter their second year of print publication, Opus Comics is expanding their efforts into the digital comics space with the GlobalComix digital comics platform. The comics debuted in honor of what would have been Frank Frazetta’s 82nd birthday on February 9th.

The first two titles to make their GlobalComix debut are Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer and Frank Frazetta’s Dawn Attack, which are the flagship of Opus Comics’ wider FrazettaVerse. Readers are able to enjoy issue #1 of both titles for free, as a way of welcoming them to the platform, then purchase Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer issues #2, 3 and 4 for $3.99 each.

Subsequent issues of each title will be released every two weeks until they catch up with the current print run, then follow alongside the print schedule thereafter. Other Opus Comics titles such as Bill & Ted and Eternal Descent will join the platform over the coming weeks.

FrazettaVerse #0

Written by acclaimed animation writer Mitch Iverson and rendered by renowned artist Stefano Martino, with colorist Luis Antonio Delgado and letterer Jacob Bascle, Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer takes readers on an epic adventure through the worlds of Frazetta, introducing them to extraordinary characters and places envisioned by the “Godfather of fantasy art.”

Meanwhile, the FrazettaVerse continues to grow in print as well, with FrazettaVerse #0 arriving in stores for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 6. This exciting new comic features a brand new Death Dealer story, along with a preview of the upcoming Frank Frazetta’s Mothman series, which is solicited in the March 2023 edition of Diamond PREVIEWS for May release.

From 1966 to 1967 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, several witnesses reported seeing a man-sized, winged creature with glowing red eyes. Circa 1980, Frank Frazetta painted his iconic work, Mothman. Now you will learn the truth—and it’s weird. Emmy nominee Tim Hedrick and artist Andrea Mutti bring you the next expansion of the FrazettaVerse! Issue #1 comes with two main covers – a new version by series artist Andrea Mutti, alongside the classic Mothman painting by Frank Frazetta.

Voltron: Legendary Defender Comes to Comics by Lion Forge

Posted on by

LF_Voltron_01_COVA_ChristineBianAs fans finish watching this summer’s DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix, they’ll have a whole new chapter waiting for them in print: comic books from Lion Forge Comics. Releasing in July, the comic series expands the adventures of the paladins of Voltron with the first of a five-part series of Voltron Legendary Defender comics. The mini-series is the first of several planned expansions of new storylines between seasons.

Written by DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender’s head writer Tim Hedrick and writer Mitch Iverson, the first comic tells the story of a training mission that goes awry when Coran, Princess Allura’s majordomo, falls prey to a villain looking to settle an old debt. Team Voltron embarks on a series of increasingly dangerous quests to save their friend’s life. Each issue focuses on one of the five pilots who together command the giant mecha known as Voltron, formed from their individual flying robotic lions.

The limited five-part series will also be collected in a graphic novel releasing in December, followed by another in-continuity mini-series to be announced.

Voltron’s original incarnation debuted in 1984 and quickly became the top-rated syndicated children’s television show for two years. A wide range of toys and other licensed merchandise cemented it as one of the foremost action properties from the golden age of 1980’s animation, with themes of teamwork and heroism at its heart that still resonate with fans today.

DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender debuts on Netflix June 10.
