San Diego, CA (March 2, 2018) \u2013 The Ruling Class of creator-driven titles continues its reign this summer as\u00a0Shelly Bond<\/strong>\u2019s band of miscreants continues to grow in numbers and talent. The Editor of Black Crown has set her sights on the imprint\u2019s next two series and they are as original as the first wave of titles currently out in the wild.

Writer\u00a0Tini Howard<\/strong>\u00a0is taking no prisoners with her current run on ASSASSINISTAS (with artist\u00a0Gilbert Hernandez<\/strong>) and will be diving into the great beyond with EUTHANAUTS, her second Black Crown title. She\u2019ll be joined by artist\u00a0Nick Robles<\/strong>\u00a0(Alien Bounty Hunter<\/em>) to answer the ultimate question: What happens to us after we die?<\/p>\n

Two women aim to find out in this series which combines classically intrepid explorers with our anxieties about death and the beyond — with psychonautic mindspaces to match. The first arc will kick off this July.<\/p>\n

\u201cEuthanauts\u00a0is a book about death and dying\u00a0as a universal concept,\u201d said Howard.\u00a0\u201c<\/em>How do these ideas\u00a0contribute to our relationship with a deathspace we haven’t yet discovered, and what’s behind the light at the end of the tunnel?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep telling friends that I feel like I found a creative home with EUTHANAUTS,\u201d adds Robles. \u201cI’m inspired and excited to see where Tini takes us.\u201d<\/p>\n

As if that weren\u2019t enough to entice you, we\u00a0dare<\/s>\u00a0invite you to enter HOUSE AMOK. From the creative powerhouse team of\u00a0Christopher Sebela<\/strong>\u00a0(Hard Crimes<\/em>) and\u00a0Shawn McManus<\/strong>\u00a0(The Sandman: Game of You<\/em>), this 5-issue miniseries is equal parts bloody reality, dark conspiracy, and magical fantasy. Delve into a character-driven study of a damaged nuclear family as we follow twin sisters in a claustrophobic, high-speed American road trip from Portland to the east coast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHorror was always my first true love affair with stories,\u201d said Sebela. \u201cGetting to team up with people like Shawn, Shelly, Lee, and Aditya to do a dark, creepy story like HOUSE AMOK \u2014 full of all the things that put me on edge and keep me up at night \u2014 is everything I could\u2019ve hoped for when I was being terrified by stories like this when I was a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds McManus, \u201cI haven\u2019t had this much fun drawing comics since\u00a0Fables.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA year ago, we announced BLACK CROWN at Emerald City Comic Con,\u201d editor Shelly Bond said.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect venue to debut our newest titles. EUTHANAUTS and HOUSE AMOK share the dysfunctional irreverence you\u2019ve come to expect from the cross street of comics + chaos.\u00a0 We\u2019ve saved you the best table at the Black Crown Pub, and your favorite song is on the jukebox. 2018 is just getting started! Viva Comics!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
