Chad Michael Murray’s Everlast Announced for November Release

Archaia Entertainment, announced a November release for the highly anticipated graphic novel, Everlast. Written by television and film actor Chad Michael Murray, (One Tree Hill) Everlast is an adventure that follows the story of earth as it reaches the End of Days. Pre-orders for the title are being accepted now at comic book shops and wherever books are sold.

A pre-apocalyptic tale, Everlast follows Derek Everlast, a man whose destiny in life is guiding others to a place of rebirth for mankind called Haven. Following an instinct called the Nudge, bestowed on him by a higher power, Derek is guided to the next chosen human destined to survive, a little girl named Melissa. In a harrowing adventure, he must deliver her safely to Haven before the End of Days. Everlast tells a story of choice, love, friendship, and, most of all, survival. The graphic novel is illustrated by several of the most talented artists in the industry, including Trevor Hairsine (X-Men), Andrew Huerta (Batman Beyond), Robbi Rodriguez (Moon Lake), J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel) and Danijel Zezelj (Luna Park).

Murray will be appearing at New York Comic Con (Oct. 14-15) and is preparing a signing tour nationwide with the first stop at  the Barnes & Noble on the Upper East Side  in New York City  on Friday, October 14.

“Everlast has been a passion project of mine for eight years now.” Chad states, “Every aspect of creating this world and journey has been incredible. I've been fortunate to learn from great people along the way and sought help from top artists to bring in the visuals we use to tell this story. Here's to an adventure I can’t wait for the fans to embark on and hopefully hold onto as much as I do.”
