IDW Publishing will release the Deadworld Omnibus in January 2011 under its Desperado Publishing imprint (see “Desperado Joins IDW”), collecting all 14 issues of the series since its re-launch in 2005.  It will be 352 pages for $19.99.

Written by Gary Reed and featuring artwork by original Deadworld artist Vince Locke as well as Dalibor Talajic, Federico Dallacchio and Sami Makkonen, Deadworld Omnibus

includes Requiem For The World, (originally published as a six-issue Image mini-series) and Deadworld: Frozen and Deadworld: Slaughterhouse, both of which were published by Desperado.

Also in the works is an original graphic novel, Deadworld: The Last Siesta, which is written by Reed and illustrated by Mark Bloodworth. 

A Deadworld color series drawn by Sami Makkonen will follow.

On the Deadworld movie front (see “‘Deadworld’ Comes to Life”), the project has a completed script by David Hayter (writer of the X-Men and Watchmen movies) and a director should soon be named.
