Even more good news for the Universal Monsters, Titan Comics is giving The Mummy his very own comic miniseries that harkens back to his Hammer horror days! Revealed last week at SDCC 2016, The Mummy #1 was written by Peter Milligan with artwork by Ronilson Freire and will be available via Diamond Comic Distributor's Previews September catalogue. Ahead of its release, we have a look at the cover art and two preview pages.
Press Release: "Titan is excited to announce THE MUMMY - a brand-new mini-series that reanimates the character, as imagined by legendary Horror studio, Hammer.
This series, written by the legendary Peter Milligan and drawn by Ronilson Freire, was revealed on Friday's San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). The attached cover was beautifully delivered by John McCrea.
For 2000 years the Sect of Anubis have prolonged their life spans through human sacrifice and the enslavement of an Egyptian High Priestess cursed to walk the afterlife for all eternity.
On one night every 30 years the Sect must offer up a human vessel to house the spirit of the priestess Nebetah so that they can kill her and drink her blood, thus granting them immortality.
But this year they have chosen the wrong vessel and she’s not going willingly.
The Mummy #1 kicks off Titan's exciting Hammer comics line which was announced at last year's ComicsPRO. The line will see the publication of brand-new comic stories featuring classic Hammer properties, as well as wholly original Hammer stories, produced by Titan.
Fans not wanting to miss out on further news of this exciting series, should follow Titan Comics on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook for more information.
The Mummy #1 will be available to order from Diamond's upcoming September PREVIEWS catalogue."
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
