DC Comics is releasing a hardcover assortment of the six-issue collection Sgt. Rock vs. the Military of the Lifeless, written by Bruce Campbell
Final yr, style icon Bruce Campbell (The Evil Lifeless) wrote the six-issue comedian e-book collection DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Military of the Lifeless, which began reaching retailer cabinets in September of 2022. Now our buddies at Bloody Disgusting have discovered that the six problems with the collection are being gathered collectively in a hardcover assortment that’s appropriately being known as the DC Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Military of the Lifeless Hardcover Assortment. This hardcover e-book is anticipated to be launched someday in October.
That includes art work by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning artist Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets), DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Military of the Lifeless takes place in Berlin, 1944. The Nazis are flanked on all fronts by the mixed Allied forces, and defeat appears inevitable. In a last-ditch effort to show the tide of the conflict, Hitler and his group of evil scientists create a serum that resurrects their lifeless troopers, creating a military of the lifeless even stronger than they have been in life. Sgt. Rock, hero of the European Theatre, and his Simple Firm discover themselves dispatched into enemy territory to face off towards the strangest, most horrific enemies they’ve encountered but: Nazi Zombies.
In case you’re not aware of the Sgt. Rock character, a press launch shared by AIPT Comics gave some data: Sgt. Rock first debuted in DC’s comics in 1959, in Our Military at Warfare #83. Sgt. Franklin John Rock and his Simple Firm grew to become a mainstay of DC’s in style conflict comics. Created by author Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert, Sgt. Rock was soldier of virtually preternatural potential and grit, battling Nazis throughout Europe and Northern Africa throughout World Warfare II. Now, he’s again, in a brand new, terrifying setting on this action-horror mash-up, updating a basic DC hero for brand new followers!
At one level, John McTiernan and Shane Black have been plotting to make a Sgt. Rock film with Arnold Schwarzenegger within the lead function, however apparently the venture fell aside as a result of John Cleese turned down a co-starring function.
