Dynamite Resurrects Reanimator With Davidsen And Valiente
Dynamite Entertainment is resurrecting one of horror's most infamous villains in Reanimator, a four-issue miniseries written by Keith Davidsen and illustrated by Randy Valiente. Featuring Dr. Herbert West — the mad scientist created by author H.P. Lovecraft — Reanimator #1 ships in April and featuring covers by Jae Lee (Dark Tower), Francesco Francavilla (Afterlife with Archie), Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash), and Andrew Mangum (Wilder).
In Reanimator, Dr. Herbert West heads to New Orleans to continue his life's work: the revival of the dead by purely chemical means. To accomplish this task, he recruits Susan Greene, a young and wide-eyed pharmacologist fascinated by his macabre experiments. Initially unfazed by West's unorthodox practices (including how he funds his research – by selling zombie brain fluid as a narcotic), Susan may regret her scientific curiosity as sinister forces – those aligned with Elder Gods and Haitian Voodoo – begin to align against the Reanimator.
Reanimator #1 will be solicited in the February 2015 Previews catalog and slated for release in April.
