\"\"[ENGLISH] Image Comics says:<\/strong> Image Comics and Concept Art House announced plans to release a series of Daomu comics based on one of China\u2019s best-selling novel series. This will be Daomu\u2019s debut in the U.S., following a successful graphic novel launch in China earlier this year. The upcoming comic book series is the first of several Daomu releases planned to include games, an animated series, and a feature film.<\/p>\n

\"\"Daomu, which translates to \u201ctomb raider,\u201d explores an underground world that has been active in China for thousands of years. After witnessing his father\u2019s violent murder, Sean Liu discovers that his family belongs to a secret society of tomb raiders. Led by his uncle, Sean joins an elite team of Daomu to go deep underground in search of answers. Who are they? Who\u2014or what\u2014killed Sean\u2019s father? And what horrors await beneath the earth\u2019s surface? With a distinctive digital art style and high-energy adventures steeped in Chinese tradition and superstition, the comic series will follow Sean\u2019s coming of age as a modern-day tomb raider and his quest to uncover the truth behind his father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The Daomu Bi Ji or \u201ctomb raider\u2019s journal\u201d novel series on which the comics are based has become a sensation in China since its debut in 2007, reaching well over 20 million fans. Concept Art House, a leading digital art and entertainment company with a focus on transmedia storytelling, is responsible for the popular novel\u2019s conversion to graphic format. Their first Daomu graphic novel released in Asia in early 2010 and quickly secured the #2 spot on Dangdang.com, China\u2019s leading ecommerce website. Though Western audiences have long embraced Japanese comics and cartoons, Daomu\u2019s arrival in the U.S. is a first for a high-profile Chinese entertainment property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quality of comics in China is exceptional,\u201d says Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. \u201cDaomu is no exception. Daomu has exemplary digital art and an outstanding story. We\u2019re excited to be bringing this amazing graphic novel to the United States for its first English translation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican comics are extremely popular among Chinese comic book fans due to their great stories and amazing artwork. We believe the American audience will love Daomu for the same reasons,\u201d says James Zhang, Concept Art House\u2019s CEO. \u201cImage is a great partner, not only because they understand quality art and story, but also because they truly respect the creator\u2019s vision. We\u2019re thrilled to be working with Image to introduce Daomu to the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intended for readers ages 13 and up, the first Daomu comic book will release this winter. To learn more, visit Image Comics at http:\/\/www.imagecomics.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
