Dark Horse Announces SPIKE Series!
DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES SPIKE SERIES!
JOSS WHEDON’S
ANTIHERO VAMPIRE RETURNS!
APRIL 18, MILWAUKIE,
OR – Dark Horse Comics announces a brand-new Spike miniseries slated for
release this summer!
Written by Victor
Gischler (X-Men, Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth) and
drawn by Paul Lee (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Devil’s
Footprints), Spike promises to be the series all Joss
Whedon fans will be talking about.
Spike ventures off
world in his bug ship in order to get away from some personal frustration on
terra firma, and winds up sucked into a demonic plot to take advantage of the
absence of magic on earth.
“What I love about
working with Dark Horse on Buffy-related material is that they take
great care to capture the feel of the characters and stories from the
television show, of which I was a huge fan. Getting my hands on the characters
I’ve loved so much over the years is a dream come true,” said Gischler.
Spike #1 will be on sale August 22, 2012!
