Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon space opera comic strip was first published in 1934, and the property has been adapted into movies, TV shows, animated series, and novels. Dynamite Comics has been producing new comics based on classic King Features, including Flash Gordon (see "Preview: 'King: Flash Gordon' #1"). Pinnacle’s announcement contained no specific information about the project.
At Gen Con, Pinnacle also told ICv2 that it would be Kickstarting a new edition of Rippers, its first Savage Worlds setting, which has been out of print for 10 years, in September. The new edition will move the Victorian steampunk timeline forward so that fans of the original setting will experience a completely new setting. Like all Pinnacle Kickstarters, retailers who participate in the company’s Savage Retailers program will be eligible to receive their books ahead of general release.
The company also plans a new edition of the Deadlands core rules for next year as part of the game’s 20th Anniversary, as well as a new plot point campaign.
