Dark Horse has announced a new comic series.
Kingdom Of Earth is coming soon, and it’s fantastic creative team includes:
- Writers: David Dastmalchian (Count Crowley, Through) & Leah Kilpatrick (Headless Horseman, DC Horror Presents)
- Artist: Soo Lee (Carmilla, Minor Threats)
- Letterer: Frank Cvetkovic (Cyberpunk 2077, Tramps of the Apocalypse)
The book’s official description reads:
“2036. Two years ago, hordes of monsters rose from the earth and sea, devouring everything in sight. Much of mankind was massacred before the monsters realized they needed humans. In this new world, humans have two options: service or slaughter. When a young child named Frankie narrowly escapes their fate as livestock, they soon realize that their fight for survival has only just begun.”
David Dastmalchian had this to say about the series:
“It’s tempting to abandon hope when the world is dominated by monsters… right?! But thanks to the incredible passion of my creative partners on this book, we created a terrifying world where a small flicker of hope burns amidst an apocalyptic landscape. I love mash-ups, and this series is the ultimate mash-up. Every monster you’ve ever seen, read, or studied battles for supremacy while a small movement of humans plots survival and rebellion.”
Soo Lee also mentioned that:
“I love being able to draw monsters and creatures that go bump in the night. It’s so much more different than what I’ve been working on lately, and thanks to my collaborators, I’m able to test myself by making this dark and terrible world beautiful in my own way. I hope everyone is captivated by the world we have developed in the Kingdom of Earth.“
Leah Kilpatrick had also mentioned that:
“I love monsters. Every culture has its own folklore, fables, and ghost stories that terrify people in their own unique way. Kingdom of Earth gives us the chance to mine from all of it. I’ve never seen a story, aside from one of my favorites, Cabin in the Woods, where every monster imaginable collides in one world of horror, chaos, and ambition. In KOE, nothing is off-limits. The fun is getting to know these creatures and giving them personality, fears, and motives of their own.”
Kingdom Of Earth #1 releases July 15th.
