Netherworld Hits Stands This March

January 12, 2009 - Studio 407 is excited to launch the first issue of Netherworld on March 25^th. Studio 407 recently announced that their vampire series, The Night Projectionist, was picked up by Myriad Pictures along with the much anticipated Hybrid, which starts filming later this year, directed by Ernie Barbarash (Cube Zero, American Psycho 2). Now comes the original new series Netherworld, which takes the zombie/undead genre to a terrifying new level. Adding to Studio 407’s growing stable of horror titles, Netherworld is penned by emerging writing talent, Chad Jones, and penciled by Brazilian artist, RB Silva.

Jones says "I've been writing genre for as long as I can remember. So, I was kicking around a novel idea and was trying to describe the creature concept in the story to a friend and made the off-hand comment, "well it's not like they're alien zombies or anything..." Jones continues "And I stopped. And I thought, hmm... that would be kind of awesome. Alien zombies. Hell, I gotta write that! And suddenly, Netherworld became my obsession. Everything else that I had been writing, planning to write, or thinking about writing got put to the side and I started hammering the keyboard like a mad person. And Netherworld came out in a flourish of alien body parts, political intrigue, humans running for their lives and lots and lots of blood. "

On a distant planet, a team of specialists investigate the mysterious remains of an alien civilization brought to the brink of extinction. Dead alien bodies litter the streets of a massive city in what was once a majestic, extraterrestrial culture. As the team unravels the enigma surrounding this cataclysmic event, they discover the planet’s horrible secret, and soon find themselves surrounded by a legion of undead aliens. Blending out of this world action with full-on terror, Netherworld blends Aliens with Dawn of the Dead, and will satisfy both horror and science fiction fans alike.
