Dynamite Entertainment has announced plans to launch a stand-alone series for Chastity in July.
Chastity is part of the Chaos! Comics portfolio, which Dynamite purchased in 2010 (see "Dynamite Adds Bad Girls"). Dynamite revived Evil Ernie in 2012 (see "Dynamite Rebooting 'Evil Ernie'") and is about to launch a Chaos! six-issue limited series on May 7 which features Chastity, Evil Ernie, Purgatori and others united in the face of apocalyptic upheaval. The Chaos! series is penned Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, G.I.Joe Vs. Transformers), with art by Mirka Andolfo (Fanboys vs. Zombies).
The Chastity comic will be written by Marc Andreyko (Manhunter, Torso, Case Files: Sam & Twitch), with illustrations by Dave Acosta (The Vessel of Terror). Cover art will be done by Emanuela Lupacchino and Tim Seeley, and there will be a shared retailer cover by Jose Luis.
The story is set in the 1980's, and after a career-ending injury shatters her Olympic dreams, 17-year-old Chastity finds solace in a popular series of vampire novels. But the novels somehow drag her into a dark secret underworld.
The Chastity property was optioned for screen and video last July, but no new news on the project has appeared since then (see "'Chastity' Optioned For Movies & TV").
In July
