Kickstarting Comics: Vault Comics Team Up With Guns N’ Roses’ Slash For ‘Barbaric Vs Deathstalker’
by Olly MacNamee
Vault Comics in partnership with Slash of Guns N’ Roses, Shout! Studios, and Raven Banner Entertainment have added and all-new crossover comic Barbaric Vs Deathstalker by Michael Moreci, Tim Seeley, and Nathan Gooden to the current Deathstalker Kickstarter campaign that is live right now at this link.
“Cursed barbarian versus warrior king! Axe versus sword! Owen versus Deathstalker! When an evil wizard summons the two most reluctant heroes of all time, they’ll have to square off. But a clash of steel alone may not decide the final victor.
Presented by rock legend Slash, and based on a story by writer, director, and legendary creature effects artist Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void), the Deathstalker comic will reunite the team from Vault’s hit weird western series, West of Sundown, bestselling writer Tim Seeley (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Money Shot) and acclaimed artist Jim Terry (Come Home, Indio).”
Speaking of teaming up with guitar god Slash, Barbaric co-creator, Michael Moreci said:
“As a kid who grew up on Guns N’ Roses and considered Slash to be pretty much one of the coolest people on the planet. Having a chance to collaborate with him is more than I could have ever hoped for. Couple that with Deathstalker, one of the coolest so-bad-its-good sword and sorcery movies ever (and as most know, I love sword and sorcery), this is a dream pairing. You’ve got Barbaric, Slash, and Deathstalker all in one place–I can’t think of much cooler than that. And, obviously, we all know Owen and Axe will come out on top!”
Tier 0 Kickstarter backers and above for the Deathstalker campaign will automatically receive the Barbaric Vs Deathstalker crossover. Tier IV backers and above will also receive a free PDF of Barbaric Volume 1.
