Dark Xena #2 and #3 Continue Saga

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Dynamite Entertainment has released all the covers for the upcoming issues of Dark Xena.

In a prepared statement Dynamite spokesperson said, “We know Xena fans expect a certain ‘sense of adventure’ when it comes to the Warrior Princess and her legendary journeys, and so far, considering the overwhelming response to our first Xena series ‘Contest of Pantheons’, it’s quite apparent that writer John Layman knows how to work that ‘sense’ flawlessly! Now, with the release of the new series,, John is tying the Dynamite comic book series to regular continuity by explaining how Gabrielle made a deal with an elder god in order to bring her friend back from the dead and the consequences of her doing so– and it’s all done with the pulse-pounding tradition that has made Xena into one of the most appealing action heroines of all time!”Popularity and praise of Dynamite’s series has been outstanding:From Jerome Maida’s article “Xena Returns in New comic Series” in the Philadelphia Daily News, “That sound you hear is a familiar ‘Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi’ battle cry. Yes, thanks to Dynamite Entertainment, ‘Xena’ is back in her own comic book series and, based on the first four issues, they have knocked it out of the park. This series will succeed where previous attempts to adapt the popular character to comics have failed.”

Take the jump for all the covers and more info about the series.

She Devil Gets Poster

Friday, April 13th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Fans have really reacted in a positive manner over the Arthur Suydam cover to Savage Tales #1. You know, this one…

SavageTales1SuydamPosterBIG.jpg

It is such a great cover that Dynamite Entertainment will be releasing an 18 x 24 inch poster this July.

“When I was working on this cover, I wanted to capture a moment of the calm following the storm. It’s like ‘what’s this pretty flower doing in the middle of this barren scene?’ What immediately sprung to mind was to create a painting that felt like Maxfield Parrish meets Robert E. Howard,” said Suydam.

While I like the idea of comic cover posters, this one is so amazing, I would much rather see it as a life size poster. I can imagine the fanboy reaction if such a thing were allowed.

The poster will sell for $7.99.
