Marvel & ABC Announce CASTLE Graphic Novel
Day & Date Release on Marvel Comics App
Marvel Entertainment and ABC Studios announced yesterday that the anticipated original graphic novel, Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm will be released both in print and on the Marvel Comics app for iOS devices simultaneously in just two short weeks on September 28th, 2011.
Castle is a popular drama on ABC featuring Richard Castle, a writer who had reached celebrity author status with the success of his Derrick Storm mystery novels. In this unprecedented collaborative effort between Marvel, ABC Studios and the producers of "Castle," some of those fictional works will be chronicled in this new graphic novel from the likes of Brian Michael Bendis, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Lan Medina.
Not only is this the first time a Derrick Storm story has been published, but Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm also marks the first major day & date digital release of a major graphic novel in North America.
"Once we read Deadly Storm we knew we had the kind of comic that would appeal to a wide demographic and it made perfect sense to make a day & date digital release on the Marvel Comics app," said Axel Alonso, Marvel Entertainment Editor in Chief. "This is the kind of comic that brings new fans to our great medium and we couldn't be more excited for new readers, fans of ';Castle' and everyone else to discover Derrick Storm's origin—and enjoy a flat-out exciting story!"
Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm brings together a star studded cast of the top talent in comics, including co-writers Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) and Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain America And The Secret Avengers); interior artist Lan Medina (Fables); and cover artist Carlo Pagulayan (Planet Hulk).
