'Deadlocke' gets release date

Dark Horse's young adult comic Deadlocke will be available at retail level later this month.

Based on the novel Venomous by Chris Krovatin, the one-shot tells the story of a young man struggling to come to terms with his inner demons.

Taking place in modern-day New York, the book follows Locke Vinett, a teenager whose life becomes threatened by a dark alter ego that exists within his drawings.

The venture teams Rex Mundi writer Arvid Nelson with Criminal Macabre artist Nick Staka.

Los Angeles-based studio 72 Productions is currently working on a feature film based on the comic book.

Deadlocke is released on November 18.
