Description: The cult-cinema hero Deathstalker bursts into comics from an all-star lineup of creators including Slash (Guns N' Roses), writer-director Steven Kostanski (The Void), Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Jim Terry (West of Sundown). Hired to escort a perfect priestess and her to a celebration of purity, Deathstalker's journey doesn't go as planned (damn those good looks and big sword). Once again, Deathstalker is on the run caught between forces larger than himself, including the virgin-worshipping 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.
