CROSSGEN TELLS THE PULSE ....
PEREZ PENCILS
SOJOURN/LADY DEATH!
"A Dream Come True!" -Brian Pulido
TAMPA, FL, February 3, 2004
They're strong, skilled and sexy--and when they collide, George Pérez will
deliver all the action!
Hot on the heels of JLA/Avengers, the legendary artist known for
illustrating comics' greatest superhuman slugfests will pencil SOJOURN/LADY
DEATH, an electrifying event pitting Arwyn's mystical bow against the
supernatural spitfire's enchanted steel blade. On sale May 12th, the
two-issue miniseries features a colossal creative team completed by
co-writers Chuck Dixon (EL CAZADOR) and Lady Death creator Brian Pulido.
Star of the best-selling fantasy series SOJOURN, the avenging archer Arwyn
seeks to destroy Mordath, the wicked warlord responsible for the death of
her family. Battling beasts in the pages of LADY DEATH: A MEDIEVAL TALE, the
young woman named Hope uses her magical powers to help the two races that
have rejected her. Both warrior women oppose evil...so why is Arwyn aiming
her exploding arrows at the ghostly gal who defied the grave? Blame Mordath,
who figures if one alluring adventurer is challenging his grip on the world
of Quin, why not destroy her with her own dark twin?
"I love writing clashes like this," Dixon stated. "Since they're 'fish out
of the pond' stories, they allow you to stir up the emotions that are
flowing beneath the fight."
"It's a natural. Lady Death and Arwyn are both fantasy butt kickers, but
they have vastly different motivations for--and approaches to--kicking said
butt," Pulido explained. "On the creative side, Chuck, who was instrumental
in relaunching LADY DEATH at CG, brings powerful, character-driven action to
anything he breathes on. And I've been a big fan of George since back in the
'70s."
"Believe me, after working on a book with hundreds of lead characters it'll
be a pleasure to narrow my focus to such a beautiful pair of heroines,"
Pérez admitted. "Drawing beautiful women is never work, it's just great
fun."
"I'm loving every second of this," Dixon revealed. "Two great heroes who
promise trouble when they meet, a co-writer who knows what his audience
wants, and an artist who strains the special effects budget on every page.
It's gonna be a blast!"
"It's an honor to work with George, and a dream come true to see him draw
Lady Death," Pulido added. "Plus, Arwyn vs. Lady Death is like a cat-fight
between Nicole Kidman and Rebecca Romjin-Stamos! How can you lose?"
"After getting to draw so many comely super heroines in my oh-so-long
career, it will be a pleasure to add Lady Death and Arwyn to my résumé,"
Pérez stated. "And working with Chuck and Brian just adds that little extra
zest. Ah--babes, blades and battles--what more can one red-blooded male
artist want?"
Three titanic talents, two combustible characters and one main event
that--instead of interrupting each character's respective title--delivers
thrills in a standalone, new-reader-friendly miniseries. It all adds up to a
spectacle that comics do best. So...Arwyn or Lady Death...who will win? With
these creators involved, the readers will...so place your bets!
SOJOURN/LADY DEATH #1 is scheduled to reach stores on May 12th. The 32-page,
$2.95 debut issue will be available for order in the March issue of
Diamond's Previews catalog.
