IDW's TRVE KVLT gets satanic this summer
IDW Publishing announced nine new, original comic series last month, in an initiative that kicks off in July with Scott Snyder's Dark Spaces. In August, the publisher will launch TRVE KVLT, a supernatural spin on Kevin Smith's Clerks with a cultish twist. Newsarama readers get the first look at the five-issue miniseries, written by Scott Bryan Wilson, illustrated by Liana Kangas, colored by Gab Contreras, and lettered by DC Hopkins.
TRVE KVLT is a horror-comedy that follows down-and-out loser and full-time metalhead, Marty (aka Tarantula), who's feeling especially burnt out after 15 years working for local fast food franchise Burger Lord. He makes a last-ditch attempt at earning cash, and lands in the hottest possible water: a satanic death cult. Worse yet, Marty also drags in his new coworker, Alison, whose personality could not be more different.
"I had an idea for a project set in the world of fast food that had supernatural/satanic elements," Wilson says in a statement. "Liana [Kangas] and I bonded over our time in the trenches working fast food and got more and more excited about building the world of Burger Lord. We saw that our excitement for the subject matter resonated with fans, too. It seems like everybody has, or has had, a terrible job with an incompetent boss that they hated. We're so thrilled to team up with IDW to get this to a wider audience!"
"I remember a time when I scoured the comic shelves for any new releases that resembled my favorite movies," adds Kangas. "While I can't say that TRVE KVLT is exactly like any movie you've seen, if you love the Coen Brothers, Pulp Fiction, and maybe a little bit of Ryan Reynolds or Good Burger humor, this is the book for you."
