For both the book and the short film
Avatar Press has announced the November launch of an ongoing comic book series, “Stitched,” by industry legend Garth Ennis and artist/writer Mike Wolfer.
Released simultaneously with the Stitched DVD at comic book shops and specialty stores worldwide, the upcoming “Stitched” #1 expands upon the events of the short film, laying the groundwork for a continuing saga of American and British soldiers beset by murderous supernatural creatures.
The Stitched film introduced a cast of stranded pilots and commandos, struggling through the mountains of Afghanistan and pursued by both Taliban fighters and strange, undead assailants. Adapting and building upon the film premise, the comic book series explores the root of this supernatural evil and the extent of its reach.
Shock spoke with Ennis about Stitched right here.
The “Stitched” comic book series launches with a #1 issue conceived by Garth Ennis, and adapted from the original film script by writer Mike Wolfer. Featuring interior and cover artwork also by Wolfer, “Stitched” #1 is recommended for mature audiences for violence and strong language, and will be available through Diamond Comic Distributorsâ Previews September catalog with multiple cover variants.
A Mischief Maker Studios production, the Stitched DVD (also solicited through the September 2011 Previews catalog for release in November) features the full 17-minute widescreen film, plus a wealth of bonus features including a stills gallery, the original movie script, and over 90 minutes of bonus footage spread across the filmâs âMaking Ofâ documentary and a career retrospective interview with Garth Ennis.
