***** LOVE, BETRAYAL, HORROR FOUND IN TOKYOPOP'S A MIDNIGHT OPERA
In TOKYOPOP's A MIDNIGHT OPERA GN -- set to hit stores next Wednesday - - hot young German artist Hans Steinbach revolutionizes the gothic horror genre with a story about two brothers and their struggle to legitimize the role of the undead in human society.
Steinbach's evocative art style and manga-influenced pacing gives A Midnight Opera an exceptionally unique flavor that will appeal to both fans of supernatural action and forlorn love. A Midnight Opera is a dark fantasy that questions whether life is solely reserved for those possessed of the human spirit. Steinbach's beautiful, gripping art paints an eerie landscape of modern day Paris where undead immortals fight to survive the oppression of religious dogma.
The title is a thrilling portrayal of love and betrayal that plumbs the depths of the human soul.
"I'm a really big fan of gothic horror, mainly because I'm really interested in lost humanity. In A Midnight Opera I tried to tell a story about humanity as elusive for humans as it is for monsters." -- Hans Steinbach
"A Midnight Opera will be featured in an online campaign featuring over 2 Million impressions featuring sites such as: AnimeNewsNetwork.com, SilverBulletComics.com, Cinescape.com, and PlayMagazine.com. Hans will be touring the Los Angeles area in November." -- TOKYOPOP's Josh Pool
