Zorro: Man of the Dead does a nice job of updating the classic Zorro with a sense of pulp adventure

Posted on by

Diego is a young man who is convinced that he’s Zorro. As a child, he suffered a psychotic break after witnessing the murder of his parents by the drug cartel in his village. To cope with the trauma, he embraced the 200-year-old legend of Zorro by donning the mask, training with the sword, and declaring war on the Narcos for the sake of his people.

Zorro: Man of the Dead #3 continues to mix modern comics with classic serials

Posted on by

El Rojo and the Cartel have had enough of Diego and his delusions. There will never be a return of Zorro, and they will punish anyone who disagrees. But even Rosa is having a hard time dismissing Zorro as anything more than a myth, as her brother relentlessly inspires hope across all of Le Vega. Things are getting dangerous FAST as Zorro, Rosa, Tomás, Bandito and Tornado dash to stop the decimation El Rojo is planning for all who dare stand against him. Are whips and swords enough? I can’t help but believe in El Zorro!

Zorro: Man of the Dead #2 embraces its pulp roots and has fun with it

Posted on by

Zorro has returned! Well, kind of. Diego has shown that the spirit of Zorro flows through him and has left a trail of ne’er-do wells in his wake. But now Rosa must try to save her brother who believes he is the protector of La Vega, as El Rojo will certainly be hunting for the legendary Zorro now. But Diego isn’t going anywhere without Bandido. Hop in Rosa’s El Camino, and prepare for the next swashbuckling chapter!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Rise of the Powers of X #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Cruella feels like she’s been maligned due to that whole dog thing… and that alone has us excited to check out this new series. Dynamite’s Disney Villains line has been excellent so far.

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Nazi punching. Nuff said.

Lunar New Year Love Story (First Second) – A new graphic novel where Gene Luen Yang is involved? Yeah, that’s an auto read and suggestion.

Masterpiece #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue was fantastic, focusing on the daughter of two thieves and the person who wants revenge that they stole from.

Petrol Head #3 (Image Comics) – Great art. Interesting world. Just solid sci-fi.

Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe #1 (Titan Comics) – A tie-in to the Zack Snyder film. We’re told it’s a must read if you’re interested in the film.

Rise of the Powers of X #1 (Marvel) – It’s the fall of Krakoa and the X-Men fighting back in this second main series that will lead into what’s next for the Marvel line. Here’s hoping this series kicks off a bit better than Fall of the House of X which left us… wanting.

Transformers #4 (Skybound) – The series has been planting its flag in how it wants to stand out from what has come before while at the same time honoring what has come before.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) – The first ongoing series to launch out of the new Ultimate Universe. We’re excited to see how it stands out and differs from what has come before and what’s currently going on in the 616.

Wolverine #41 (Marvel) – We’ve been promised a brutal fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth!

Zorro: Man of the Dead #1 (Massive) – New Zorro from Sean Gordon Murphy? Yeah, we’re intrigued by this.

Crowdfunding Corner: Sean Gordon Murphy resurrects Zorro with Massive Publishing

Posted on by

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.

Massive Publishing has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Zorro: Man of the Dead, a new take on the landmark character by renowned comic writer/artist Sean Gordon Murphy.

Zorro: Man of the Dead brings Murphy’s unique voice to one of history’s greatest masked heroes, promising to be every bit as sought-after and ground-breaking as his career-defining work with DC Comics. 

In this Direct-Reserve Kickstarter campaign, set to coincide with Día De Los Muertos, Massive Publishing is thrilled to celebrate the iconic character whose legacy has reflected an enduring struggle for justice and the indomitable spirit of Hispanic culture.

Supporters are able to reserve the limited series in a variety of premium formats from prestigious artists like Joe Quesada, Humberto Ramos, Adam Hughes, Amanda Conner/Jimmy Palmiotti, Walt Simonson, Dan Panosian and more. The deluxe pre-order campaign also features an exclusive connecting cover by Murphy himself, special book formats (such as the 11×17 Artist Edition), Original art, and a premium hardcover collection with cover art only available through this campaign.

Massive and series creator Sean Murphy wanted to contribute to the legacy of this legendary character in an impactful way by combining the power of crowdfunding with the lifeblood of our industry, THE LOCAL COMIC BOOK SHOP! At retail, Massive will be offering a range of exclusive retail variant covers from some of today’s top artists (Sean Murphy, Dustin Nguyen, Matteo Scalera, Tony S. Daniel, and more) starting on October 22nd. These releases will start in January and drop simultaneously with the campaign’s digital rewards, followed by the fulfillment of the premium editions offered to backers.

This campaign is meant to be an industry game changer, putting the power in the hands of fans to reach stretch goals that unlock additional variant covers both on Kickstarter and at their local comic shop. In this innovative crowdfunding model, contributing to the campaign is supporting your local businesses in real time, creating opportunities for retailers to join in on the excitement of the campaign as it progresses.
