The creative partnership between Sideshow and Heavy Metal was annouced on Sunday, Nov. 1, at Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo. Court of the Dead creator and Sideshow Chief Creative Officer Tom Gilliland was featured on a Comikaze panel alongside comics legend Grant Morrison, who is slated to take over as Editor-in-Chief of Heavy Metal in early 2016.
Jeff Krelitz, co-CEO of Heavy Metal, moderated the panel. "Court of the Dead was the first property I've seen since The Lord of the Rings that had my mind racing about the world, the characters and the lore. It is a masterwork and Heavy Metal is proud to help launch Sideshow's beautiful and ambitious epic,” said Krelitz.
The Court of the Dead is a dark fantasy epic in which Death, Lord of the Underworld, is mankind’s only hope for deliverance from a never-ending war between Heaven and Hell. Death crafted the ghastly and glorious Court of the Dead to aide him in his crusade against the celestials, but the Court is divided into three conflicting factions: Bone, Flesh and Spirit. Will these factions destroy humanity’s only hope to stop the celestial war machine, or can the Underworld unite to Rise, Conquer and Rule?
