Following the success of the busiest Mercy Sparx publishing schedule in several years, Heaven’s secret “fixer” returns in Mercy Sparx: Heaven’s Devil this October. An all new quarterly series written by Josh Blaylock, with art by Blaylock and Brian Rogers, and colors by Eisner Award Winners Greg + Fake. The series continues from the events of the sell-out hit “Daddy Issues” miniseries and spin-off success Club Nephilim.
Mercy Sparx is known in divine circles as “Heaven’s Devil” – AKA Heaven’s fixer, sent to do the dirty work angels won’t touch. For years, this devil secretly living among us has left a trail of broken bottles, broken noses, and broken hearts in her wake. But now chaos has come calling again, as a mysterious “nobody” who has lurked in the shadows since Mercy’s first days on Earth rises to become her most dangerous nemesis yet. A perfect jumping on point for new Mercy readers!
Made successful through a savvy confluence between in-store comic shop releases and Kickstarter exclusive content, Mercy Sparx has found its way to new heights of success, and is currently still active in development for film & TV with Assemble Media.
Circuits-Seduction-Revenge, the gonzo cyberpunk, sexy action one-shot from last year also debuts an all new quarterly ongoing series, merging the worlds of “Circuits” with that of the Blaylock and Mark Powers’ The Encoded, taking place five years before the events of The Encoded #1. Written by Josh Blaylock with art by Jethro Morales, with covers by artists including Sveta Shubina and Joel H Herrera.
In 2050 AD, a mysterious rogue pleasure android wreaks havoc on the trillionaire class as they are forced to turn to an equally dangerous artificial life-form to stop her. In a time after humanity has survived the AI singularity and settled into a strange new equilibrium: futuristic metropolises under mandatory “logdowns,” cities reserved for sentient survivors of a deactivated AI consciousness, and breakaway communities living like it’s still 1985.
Mercy Sparx: Heaven’s Devil #1 and Circuits-Seduction-Revenge #1 both debut this October, continuing Devil’s Due Studios’ 25th anniversary year-long celebration and true to its new focus on stories in the supernatural, sci-fi, and high concept action realms.
