Vault Comics announced two of its properties, Barbaric and Deathstalker, are coming together in a new one-shot.
Co-written by Michael Moreci & Tim Seeley, drawn by Nathan Gooden, colored by Fabi Marques, and lettered by Jim Campbell, the epic overlength issue features two of the most iconic sword and sorcery heroes locked in epic battle! 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.
“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,” said Barbaric co-creator, Michael Moreci. “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!”
Barbaric vs. Deathstalker is scheduled to arrive on July 24, 2024.
