A new adventure series, showcasing a unique clash and connection between feudal England and feudal Japan. Sir Charles Ward, "The Dragon Butcher," has achieved knighthood, acclaim, and is leading a legion of royal warriors on a noble mission, yet his self-doubt and grief haunt him. Venturing to a mysterious island in the Far East, Charles leads his diverse assembly of fighters (including a giant and two clerics) to seek vengeance against savage monsters who ambushed a group of English missionaries. Arrival on the island reveals that the truth may be drastically different from what Charles was led to believe, and the "savage monsters" he will face are actually a regiment of skillful warriors the likes of which he has never seen. Writer DAVID DASTMALCHIAN praises FEDERICO MELE for vividly portraying characters from England and Japan as they face various mythological beings. Under TODD MCFARLANE's direction, this adventure blends magic, combat, and the pursuit of truth, with insights from consultant THERSA MATSUURA (of Uncanny Japan). Collects Knights vs. Samurai Issues #1 - 6

From bringing complex characters to life on screen, to penning raw, harrowing tales of flawed individuals from all walks of life, award winning actor, writer, producer, and filmmaker David Dastmalchian has become one of the most in-demand talents in the entertainment industry today. Originally from Kansas, Dastmalchian’s versatility and distinctive presence in film, television, and the comic book universe as a writer and creator continues to leave a memorable impact on his audiences. First, Dastmalchian will star in the Apple TV+ sci-fi comedic thriller series Murderbot which will debut globally on Apple TV+ May 16, 2025, Netflix’s smash hit live action series One Piece, which is slated to release later this year and Paramount+ with Showtime's Dexter: Resurrection. In film Dastmalchian can next be seen appearing in Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck (Neon), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the People’s Choice Award, last fall. 2023-24 were banner years for Dastmalchian, as he appeared in a handful of high-profile features and further solidified his place in Hollywood. He reunited with acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, in Oppenheimer (Universal Pictures) which grossed over $900 million globally and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture of the year. Dastmalchian also made a star turn as late night talk show host Jack Delroy in Late Night with the Devil which debuted at the SXSW Film Festival in 2023 to rave reviews. Critics called it "inventive," "wonderful creepy," and "devilishly funny," with Stephen King tweeting "it’s absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it." The movie became distributor IFC Films’ highest grossing opening weekend ever with $2.8 million at the domestic box office, and marked the first project under Dastmalchian’s Good Fiend Films.
