‘King Tiger #1’ Announced
March 28, 2015 at 8:30 am | Posted in Comic Books, Dark Horse | Leave a commentTags: doug wheatley, king tiger, randy stradley
Randy Stradley and Doug Wheatley have been working on the King Tiger series here and there as they’ve piggybacked the story into other comics, however, now it will be getting it’s own, standalone line starting with King Tiger #1.
Blood, death, and fire—the darkest kind of magic. A monstrous secret from King Tiger’s past has found the mystic warrior, but can Tiger’s skills and sorcery triumph against an unthinkable supernatural obscenity linked to his own destiny? If the Tiger falls, the Dragon with rise!
King Tiger #1 will be out in August and Nerdist did a nice interview with Randy Stradley you can check out here.
N: So, with that in mind, what can readers look forward to from this series?
RS: Well, without giving too much away, we’ll learn a little bit about the kind of man Tiger used to be compared to who he is now. And Tiger’s past catches up with him in a really huge and horrible way—death and destruction on a massive scale. There’s lots of kung fu, sword fighting, and even gun play, all with a magical twist. But at its heart, this is really a love story. And Doug Wheatley is making every panel of it awesome.

Book News
- Star Wars artist Grant Gould will be illustrating How to Draw Star Wars Rebels. No word on a release date yet.
Comic News
- Randy Stradley gave an update on Star Wars trade paperback and omnibus collections over on the Dark Horse forums.
The second Dark Times Omnibus is indeed our final scheduled Omnibus. We will produce trades for all of the current series, but there is not enough time within our remaining license to publish Omnibuses. Dark Horse’s goal, obviously, must be to sell as much of our inventory before our final cut-off date.
There may — and I stress may be one more hardcover book before the end of the year. News about that when I have it.
- Star Wars artist Jan Duursema posted her submission for the Dark Horse project for Stan Sakai. Continue Reading Around the Web…
