Opus Comics Cancels Bill & Ted Princesses, Deathgasm, Phantom Tomorrow

We’ve famous that Opus Comics and Heavy Metal Magazine share some DNA. Well, it seems like they could be quantum-entangled as nicely. We simply posted a bunch of titles cancelled at Heavy Metal Magazine after the solicitation had been issued. Now it appears that evidently Opus Comics is doing the identical.

Opus Comics printed the primary subject of a four-issue Deathgasm mini-series by New Zealand author/director Jason Lei Howden of Guns Akimbo, Pete Bune and Industrias Lamonicana. However, they’ve cancelled #2 and #3. #4 was by no means solicited.

Something related occurred to Phantom Tomorrow which noticed Heavy Metal publish the primary subject, then cancel points 2 and three of the six-issue collection by Andy Biersack, Michael Moreci and Agustin Padilla.

They have additionally cancelled the gathering of Joe Satriani’s Crystal Planet by Joe Satriani, Tony Lee and Richard Friend.

The massive one could also be Bill & Ted: The Princesses, which was solicited as a four-issue mini-series, by Holly Interlandi, Corinna Bechko, Belen Culebras and Priscilla Petraites, however have seen all three solicited points cancelled.

Former Bleeding Cool reporter and at present working at Publicity and Marketing for Opus Comics, Chris Thompson, tells us “We’re continually evaluating our output based on audience and retailer response, and I’m looking forward to announcing more new titles at ComicPRO, with some favorites returning and our second year starting strong with the May 2023 solicitations. Our line is growing to accommodate more Sci-Fi/Fantasy titles, in addition to our staple music line, so it’s more of a reorganization than anything. Opus is committed to putting out comics that support retailers and the market, and as we take the learnings from our first year of publishing, that’s what we’ll continue to do. There’s some exciting news coming up this week, which should make people happy, and will be supported by our first appearances at ComicsPRO and in this year’s Free Comic Book Day line-up. Rest assured, Opus Comics is here to stay, and tailoring our release schedule accordingly. See you on the comic book shelves!”
