One comic.
Two stories. One shared theme: love in the face of death. A group of savage
Vikings in 946 A.D. are pitted against a band of equally-savage vampires to
protect a monastery from invasion in "Bloodlust: Deceiver of the
Gods." Thousands of years later in the far-flung future, a man fights his
way through an alien-infested space ship in an attempt to return to his wife
and escape to safety in "Symptom of the Universe." Written by Dirk
Manning and drawn by Rich Bonk and Owen Gieni, respectively, LOVE STORIES (TO
DIE FOR) #1 is a full-color one-shot 48-page flip book published by Image
Comics/Shadowline that hits stores on September 4 for $4.99.
LOVE STORIES
(TO DIE FOR) #1 features two full-length stories in one attractively-priced
flip book with two covers, one on each side. Both tales explore the
intersection of love and life, death and hope, and what happens when a person
is forced to choose between one or the other. One man must fight his way
through vicious monsters in order to return to the love of his life. Another
must fight vampires alongside his men while pursuing justice.
Writer
Manning says, "The best horror stories usually revolve around the premise
of morals versus survival, and these two stand-alone tales explore this theme
in different settings and genres."
LOVE STORIES (TO DIE FOR) #1 arrives in stores on September 4
and can be pre-ordered now from the July issue of Previews (JUL130432).
