“Put The Faust Omnibus Next To Watchmen & Dark Knight On Your Shelf” (Rich Johnston Reports on Bleeding Cool, 7/14/23)

“Faust is a mature readers superhero horror comic by Tim Vigil and David Quinn that has been published by Northstar Comics, Avatar Press, and Vigil and Quinn’s own Rebel Studios. And now, thirty-six years after it was first published, it is getting an Omnibus, from Black Mask Comics.”

“Published alongside comics such as Watchmen, The One, The Crow, The Dark Knight Returns, Elektra Assassin and Bratpack, Faust was credited with popularizing the “deconstructed superheroes” genre and the notion that “comics aren’t just for kids.” It smashed the independent comic ceiling with issue 1 from 1987 selling over 100,000 copies, with later issues averaging 50,000 sales per issue.” 

Faust was irregularly published, coming to a final end with books 14 and 15 in 2012, twenty-five years after first publication. In 2000, Lionsgate Films released the Brian Yuzna produced movie adaptation Faust: Love of the Damned and in July 2021, it was announced Sony Pictures Television would adapt the comic as an animated series.

“And now Rebel Studios and Black Mask are to publish a final deluxe collected edition of the series, coming to comic shops in October, after a very successful Kickstarter.”
