The cult-classic warrior-hero Deathstalker bursts into the comics scene from an all-star lineup of creators including Slash (Guns N' Roses) and writer-director-creature-FX-wizard Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void)!
Deathstalker finds himself once again caught between forces larger than himself-a virgin worshiping cult, a sorcerer hell-bent on saving the world through mad science, and the pissed-off army of the Abraxeon kingdom...not to mention his ex-lover, Princess Evie.
