|
LOGLINE: She sold her soul for rock and roll...and the time to pay up has come!.
Rockstar Cherry Blackbird sold her soul for fame. Now at the age of 26, time is running short. The day she turns 27, she'll be dragged to Hell. But Cherry is not one to go quietly. The Devil tasks her with collecting seven demonic souls that have escaped the Abyss. If she can do this before her next birthday, she'll be released from her infernal pact and spared eternal damnation. Heaven help anyone who gets in her way! Compare to: Planet Terror, Dead Alive, VFW
"This was the first book I did when I became a full time comic book creator and it holds a special place in my heart. I used elements from exploitation and horror movies I love that don't often find their way into the comic book medium... It's a self aware B horror at its finest and definitely not for children or the squeamish."

QUOTE FROM WRITER/CREATOR MATT MAIR LOWERY:
I can’t wait for folks to discover Cleo and company and dig into Lifeformed. I love these characters, and it’s exciting to think of people discovering them for the first time. And, personally, I’m looking forward to seeing that first issue on the shelves at stores next to all the other comics that week... having a comic that’s a part of the regular old New Comic Book Day grind feels magical, and the 10-year-old, 1984-version of me would never have imagined it possible.

THE LUNAR LADIES Launches This June From Scout Comics
LOGLINE:
A highly-advanced society of women lives under the surface of the moon--their peaceful way of living is quietly fracturing from the inside, as political ideologies pit the queen of the moon against a geneticist hell bent on usurping the queen's power.
SYNOPSIS:
The story opens with a heated ray gun battle between Queen Velouria and a lunatic scientist named Venus Verga. Velouria flees to prehistoric Earth with her lover, Star, and her young daughter, Clare. Velouria bestows the moon’s greatest treasure to Clare - a powerful talisman that must stay in the possession of the royal bloodline.
Mad with bloodlust, Venus gives chase with an army of bio-engineered male clones that land on prehistoric Earth. This sets the stage for an epic conflict between Venus’ army and a rag-tag coalition of lunar ladies, prehistoric humans and native Earth animals. In the time of greatest need, Clare harnesses the power of the moonstone talisman to deliver a crushing blow to Venus’ forces.

QUOTE from creator Omar Morales:
"THE LUNAR LADIES is a love letter to the golden age, public domain character, Moon Girl, who is the central figure of this ray-guns-and-laser-rays Sci-Fi story. Back when I cross promoted this book with Charlie Stickney’s White Ash on Kickstarter, I never imagined we’d hook up again as creator and publisher at Scout Comics. I couldn’t be more thrilled that this title found a home with a publisher that loves indie comics as much as I do! Pew! Pew!”

A million years ago, in outer space, a highly-advanced society of women lives under the surface of the moon. Their peaceful way of living is quietly fracturing from the inside, as political ideologies pit the queen of the moon against a geneticist hell bent on usurping the queen's power. The Lunar Ladies is an homage to the public domain character, Moon Girl, complete with Golden Age ray guns and laser rays. Pew-pew!
