Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane and international music superstar Yoshiki have paired up for an exciting new comic book series titled Blood Red Dragon, set to debut at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 21. The comic will star a superhero based on Yoshiki. IGN's got an exclusive first look at some concept art released by Todd McFarlane Productions.
Blood Red Dragon #0, according to the press release, "focuses on the origin of an ancient and benevolent force, locked in an epic battle with the dark armies of Oblivion. Creative expression and destiny collide, as once in a generation an individual is born with the potential to unlock the awesome might of the Blood Red Dragon, thus channeling a power beyond comprehension and assuming the mantle of Earth's protector.
When agents of Oblivion discover that the key to accessing the Blood Red Dragon's energy lays in music—the melodic heart of the human spirit, they launch a series of violent attacks on musicians across the globe. As he performs in front of a large crowd during the opening show of a massive world tour, drummer and keyboardist Yoshiki comes face-to-face with his destiny, experiencing a transformation that will forever change his life—and possibly the fate of the world. "
"I am extremely excited about Blood Red Dragon," said Lee. "Yoshiki's exceptional musical abilities, visual flair and passionate humanitarianism made him an amazing and inspiring collaborator and I think readers will experience every bit of that in the comics."
"Working with the one-and-only Stan Lee has been an incredible experience for me. He is truly a genius and one of the best storytellers living today," added Yoshiki. "I'm excited with the results of our efforts and look forward to the response from readers and music lovers around the world."
"Being able to collaborate with creators on a global level is always a thrill," said McFarlane. "Working with two big names, like Yoshiki and Stan Lee, I hope I'm able to add a little bit of my touch to a book that my, Stan's, but most importantly Yoshiki's fans will enjoy. At the same time, I hope this book helps introduce Yoshiki to fans that don't know him on American shores."
The panel will take place from 1-2 PM in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel with Lee, McFarlane, Yoshiki and writer Jon Goff and will debut the first issue.

28.06.2011 в 18:16Если не расценивать как то, что Йо прототип и должен быть иным, то впполне себе нормальный супергерой.
Но блин... могли бы хоть рыжиком сделать =_=

Конечно же спасибо им, что оценили Йошики по достоинству, да и сюжет вроде бы не плохой...
Но эта американская мечта в виде горы мышц... Это уже слишком...
