Mclean describes Dark Axis as “an action adventure mash up of Saving Private Ryan meets Evil Dead 2. Featuring secret Nazi weapons, terrifying monsters and futuristic machines that reveal the history of a sprawling, evil conspiracy that almost changed the course of the war. The result is an alternate World War II history, as you’ve never seen it before.
Mclean, also one of the writers, has collaborated with Chris Wheeler and Jason M. Burns in creating the story and artists Xavier Irvine and Luis Guerrer to bring the vision to life.
Diezel Punk is a new publishing venture from Mclean that will focus on creating comic books and graphic novels; Dark Axis is the company’s first title with more currently in development.
Issue one of DARK AXIS begins as Allied forces move deep into occupied Germany. A battle-hardened veteran, Sgt. Bryce, is given a cushy scout mission with the only problem being a squad of useless recruits tagging along. They find a treasure map on a dead SS deserter and Bryce leads his squad to a hidden German facility, full of incredible machines, advanced technology and riches. It appears completely deserted, but when one of his squad vanishes, ripped apart by ‘something lurking in the shadows, Bryce realizes too late – they’re not alone.
