Subsequent projects would by published by Darkchylde Entertainment, through Wowio.[1] Darkchylde is the story of Ariel Chylde, a cursed teen who can become the creatures from her many nightmares, and then must save her small town from the forces of darkness she's set free. Darkchylde was launched as a comic book property to immediate success in the summer of 1996. The book shot to the #1 hottest comics spot in Wizard, where it stayed for nine months collectively in both Wizard and Combo magazines.[2] The book outsold Spider-Man, the Hulk, Superman, and Batman in America,[citation needed] and quickly garnered an unusually large female following, in stark contrast to the traditionally male comic book market. The success of the books spawned a line of best-selling trading cards, action figures, skateboards, lunch-boxes, lithos, apparel, and mini-bust statues.[2] When the book was launched overseas to foreign audiences, it quickly became Panini Publishing's best selling title, overselling all of their classic superhero titles, including both Spider-Man and the X-Men.[2] Wizard magazine released Darkchylde #1/2, a mail order-only comic that outsold all of their previous mail order comics.[2] Creator Randy Queen created Darkchylde Entertainment with partner Sarah Oates and launched "Dreams of the Darkchylde" #1. It was the best-selling independent title offered that month in Previews,[2] the magazine for comic distribution orders. In a second interview with Nicholas Yanes from scifipulse.net Queen revealed that Darkchylde would appear in a published comic book after several years of absence. This comic book would be a one-shot crossover titled The Darkness/ Darkchylde: Kingdom Pain" and scheduled to come out in December 2009. In addition to containing a new story feature Darkchylde, this one-shot also contained preview art for Randy Queen's next comic book title "Starfall."[3] Your purchase is supporting Small Business America !
