HALF DEAD LIVES YET AGAIN
HALF DEAD, “Certified Cool” by Diamond’s PREVIEWS, originally published by Marvel Comics and Dabel Brothers Productions, and stalled due to legal complications between those two companies, is once again available for orders from Diamond’s PREVIEWS through Desperado Publishing.
Combining the chills of modern horror with the excitement of cinematic action, written by the husband-wife team of Barbara Lien-Cooper and Park Cooper and drawn by Jimmy Bott (Government Bodies), Half Dead tells of two conspiracies, human and vampire, fighting for control of London with gas attacks, suicide options, religious icons, and inhuman science used by both sides to keep their pawns alive and fighting whether they want to or not. A ballerina comes back from certain death changed into something new. Rather than fight in the covered-up war she finds herself in, most people would rather run, or die. Since she's not a person anymore, though, there's only one way out… to destroy all vampires.
"As if the tube wasn't already edgy enough, what with suicide bombers and police execution squads... now we have terrorist vampires to contend with too. But at least the victims of vampire gas attacks are rendered only half dead and get their chance to join in the fun. Intelligently written and well-drawn, this book promises opportunities not only for fast-paced entertainment, but also a darker ironic subtext to the 'long war' of the 21st century."
--Jamie Delano (Animal Man, Hellblazer)
"It's 24 with vampires."
--Steven G. Saunders, ALL THE RAGE
