Swords, sorcery, and mad science square off as the cult-cinema hero DEATHSTALKER bursts into comics with an all-star lineup of creators featuring SLASH (Guns Nโ Roses) in this action-packed adventure!
The cult-cinema hero Deathstalker bursts into comics from an all-star lineup of creators including Slash (Guns Nโ Roses), writer-director Steven Kostanski (The Void), Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Jim Terry (West of Sundown).
Hired to escort a perfect priestess and her to a celebration of purity, Deathstalkerโs journey doesnโt go as planned (damn those good looks and big sword). Once again, Deathstalker is on the run caught between forces larger than himself, including the virgin-worshipping cult, a sorcerer hell-bent on saving the world through mad science, and the pissed-off army of the Abraxeon kingdomโฆnot to mention his ex-lover, Princess Evie.
Monsters, magic, and mayhem abound!
Canโt a guy just swing his sword anymore?
