Dracula vs. King Arthur, the popular series published by Silent Devil, has found a new home on the web via Lead Pipe Entertainment and Eagle One Media. The entire saga will be released weekly in 8 chapters available at $1.99 each. In the story, Vlad Tepes of the Dracul Order and his empire are about to be overrun by the Turkish Army. He will certainly be killed, unless he makes a deal with Lucifer himself. Vlad will become Dracula, the first vampire, and be sent back to the time of Camelot to destroy King Arthur.
The series received universal acclaim upon its release, with Ain't It Cool News saying they "[hadn't] had this much fun reading a comic in a good long while." Copies of the single issues quickly sold out, just like the collected edition a year later. No new print editions have been planned for the immediate future, so your chance to read what everyone is talking about is here: http://www.eagleonemedia.com/comicdownloadstore_IndyPub_LeadPipe.php
Dracula vs. King Arthur is in development as a feature film with Ahmet Zappa's Monsterfoot Productions attached to produce. Series co-creator Christian Beranek has been tapped to pen the script. Says Beranek about the deal with Eagle One: "Our story is one of the most pirated indie comics ever made. This led us to believe there was a market for a web version of the book. Eagle One Media gives readers a chance to get the definitive version of the title in a legitimate format, with series artist Chris Moreno providing additional, never before seen cover artwork."
