Avatar Press has announced that its first Lady Death release, Brian Pulido's Lady Death: Dead Rising, will debut at Wizardworld Chicago, August 13-15.  A number of Avatar Press creators will also be on hand at the Avatar booth at the show, including Brian Pulido, Jacen Burrows, Clint Hilinski, Greg Waller, Matt Martin, and Sean Shaw.

Lady Death: Dead Rising is a preview of the sinister plans Pulido and Avatar have coming up for the character.  "We will launch our new monthly Medieval Lady Death picking up after Lady Death: A Medieval Tale #12," Lady Death creator Brian Pulido says. "While we will begin with a new series, Medieval Lady Death #1, I will be careful to make this a good jumping on point for new readers. Our second Lady Death series will be the "classic" Heaven & Hell/Bitch Goddess Lady Death.  We had to bring her back because fans demanded her back. True to the Chaos! style I established, her adventures will be in a series of limited series."

Lady Death: Dead Rising will take a look at both titles with art from Romano Molenaar, Di Amorim, Matt Martin, Clint Hilinski, and Juan Jose Ryp, and covers by Ryp, Martin, and Sean Shaw.

The following Avatar Press creators will be at the Avatar Press booth at the show:
