Dynamite Entertainment has announced a trio of spin-off titles from the Bill Willingham-penned Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure miniseries, as well as a new ongoing The Twilight Zone series for 2015.
The popular Legenderry miniseries (see "'Twilight Zone' and 'Legenderry' Launch December 31") included classic Dynamite characters reimagined by Fables writer Bill Willingham, and three of the popular heroes, Red Sonja, Vampirella and Green Hornet, will now each have their own spin-off series in 2015. Series writers will continue the themes and plotlines designed by Willingham.
Legenderry: Vampirella will be written by David Avallone, and will see Madam Pendragon leave her role as owner of The Scarlet Club, and fight her way through The Big City. Legenderry: Green Hornet will be written by Daryl Gregory (Planet of the Apes), and will see the Green Hornet and Kato enter a Gangs of New York/The Warriors mash-up of crime-fighting in The Big City. Details on Legenderry: Red Sonja have not been announced, but the adventures of the swashbuckling Red Sonja and her amnesiac identity as sophisticated Magna Spadarossa will doubtlessly continue where the main story left off.
In January, Dynamite will launch The Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance, an ongoing series written by Mark Rahner (Vampirella), with art by Edu Menna (Army of Darkness), and first issue covers by Francesco Francavilla, Guiu Vilanova and more. Rahner and Menna both worked on The Twilight Zone 2014 Annual and the one-shot The Twilight Zone: Lost Tales (see "First 'Twilight Zone' June GN").
The first story arc of the new series will follow a successful but troubled writer as he returns to his hometown for a book signing, who finds himself in a time warp where he encounters his abused younger self.
