Image Comics and AL1CE Team Up for Haunting and Somber Music Video Trailer for THE DEAD LUCKY Volume 1
The Dead Lucky Volume 1 is releasing in March and I’m very excited. I haven’t been able to read the comics yet because life has been so hectic, but I’ve wanted to read these stories in the Massive-Verse since day one! Well, to celebrate the upcoming release, Image Comics teamed up with dark wave band AL1CE to create a pretty awesome music video/trailer where you’ll see a mix of the band performing and panels from the comics showing off the incredible art. The Dead Lucky is written by Melissa Flores (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) with art by French Carlomagno (Radiant Black) with the first volume collecting issues #1-6.
The Dead Lucky, Vol. 1 is set in a changing San Francisco and is centered around tech consortium MORROW. MORROW is buying up land—their peacekeeper robots looming on every corner—and wherever Morrow isn’t, the local gangs are.
Bibiana Lopez-Yang is changing too. The incident in Afghanistan that killed her platoon left her with a unique power to control electricity—but haunted by the ghosts of those she lost. With some unlikely friends, Bibi might just have a chance to save her city. But against an enemy this powerful, it won’t be enough to be good. She’ll have to be lucky.
Talking about the comic, Tash Cox of AL1CE said:
The Dead Lucky is an inspired and deeply moving story by our truly gifted friend, Melissa Flores. My favorite stories are the ones that leave specific imprints on your heart, and we all felt those tugs on ours when diving into The Dead Lucky universe through the eyes of Bibiana. Our intention in creating the music is to weave similar feelings that we had felt when reading Melissa’s powerful story. We are so honored and grateful for the opportunity of this beautiful collaboration.
Flores also shared some thoughts about working with AL1CE to create the song and video:
When I set out to collaborate with an artist to create The Dead Lucky theme song, there was honestly only one choice I had in mind: AL1CE, who I’d been a fan of for years. I’m so flabbergasted and thankful that they said yes! AL1CE has written and performed a captivating and haunting song that perfectly sums up the complex emotion behind this book. And it’s an utter bop! I can’t wait for the fans to love it as much as I do.
You can read The Dead Lucky Volume 1 on March 22 from your local comic shops and on March 28 from your local bookstores or wherever else you may like to purchase comics.
