Zenescope Entertainment will be publishing a new original
action-thriller comic book series entitled HIT LIST. Zenescope co-founder and
Editor-in-Chief, Ralph Tedesco (Grimm Fairy Tales, Salem’s Daughter), will be
penning the series which is a slight departure from the mostly supernatural and
horror fare Tedesco has co-created with writing partner and Zenescope
President, Joe Brusha.
Hit List is a series about an underground crew of
professional killers funded by a wealthy entrepreneur. In the first series arc,
the collection of assassins attempts to methodically take out members of a
dangerous white supremacist gang that deals in human trafficking.
“The story follows an ensemble of very different
characters who happen to be paid killers. What if there was someone rich and
ballsy enough to put together such a crew because idealistically he wants to
make the world safer? I thought it would be fun to explore what could happen
and, more importantly, what could go wrong.” says Tedesco “The story is very
fast-paced and the action is in-your-face violent. There’s very little downtime
in this series which will be a blast for readers.”
Zenescope will also be making Hit List a point of
interest during San Diego Comic Con next month with a fun “Hit List” campaign
that will allow convention-goers a chance to win prizes at Zenescope Booth 2301
while participating in an interactive experience taking place on the convention
floor throughout Comic Con weekend.
The first issue of Hit List is available for pre-order in
the July 2013 edition of Diamond Previews and will be released both in print
and digitally this September. The series will also offer special Retailer
Incentive Exclusive covers for issues #1 through #5 illustrated by star pinup
artist, Elias Chatzoudis. These limited edition exclusives will feature
Zenescope’s popular “Grimm Fairy Tales” characters as assassins. For more information
