Mixing new school with old,
comics publisher Lion Forge Comics has partnered with award-winning IDW
Publishing to bring the classic TV series Miami Vice to print with Miami
Vice Remix this February. Now anyone who loves the iconic
characters, pastels, fast cars and over the top action of Miami Vice can
get their hands on the comic based on the renowned ‘80s classic television
show.
Writer Joe Casey (Uncanny
X-Men, Adventures of Superman) teamed up with comic book industry
veteran Jim Mahfood to create Miami Vice Remix. The comic
follows the Metro-Dade Police Department detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo
Tubbs through modern-day Miami as they go undercover facing dangerous
encounters with voodoo, zombies and Crockett’s mysterious past.
“Working with Jim is always a
trip and taking on ‘80s TV icons like Crockett and Tubbs was too good to pass
up,” said Casey, Miami Vice Remix co-creator and writer. “Whether you're
familiar with ‘Miami Vice’ or not, this book will burn a hole in your brain.”
“Comics should be for everyone,
regardless of how fans prefer to access and consume content,” said David
Steward II, Lion Forge CEO. “With IDW’s innovative spirit, Lion Forge will
reach more readers and bring new life to classic properties like ‘Miami Vice.’”
Miami Vice Remix is the
latest Lion Forge title crossing over from digital to hard copy through IDW.
The comic joins licensed and celebrity titles Rampage Jackson: Street
Soldier and Saved By The Bell, which also are based on hit NBC
television series.
“IDW is pleased to help
re-imagine one of the most timeless TV shows of our generation,” said Greg
Goldstein, IDW Publishing president. “The vibrant artistry and high-quality
story telling in Miami Vice Remix is sure to bring readers all the
energy and style from the original series.”
Miami Vice Remix #1 will be
available at your local comic book stores February 2015.
Diamond code JAN150433.
