It's suprising it's a Derrick Storm novel, after all that character was killed off before the first episode and that was why we have this series in the first place. I would have expected a Nikki Heat graphic novel, what do we really know about Derrick Storm ?

Backstory. I think this is a further expansion of the Castle universe beyond Nikki Heat. This will reach a different segment of the potential fandom for the show.

It will be really interesting to see the difference between Castle's male character (before he met Beckett) and Nikki Heat as he gets to know Beckett more.  I'm looking forward to both!

…  but I take exception to that comment about joining Twitter..  Yes, my kid got me on Twitter, but it was for Castle not Nathan Fillion and I've *already* read a graphic novel…  so there!

…of course, it was the Dark Horse Serenity series…[Image Can Not Be Found]    [Image Can Not Be Found]

Agreed.  All we know about the character of Derek Storm is that Castle killed him off in the pilot.  Getting to know Derek Storm is a further clue into Castle's past.

Just want to remind everyone that if you pre-order via Amazon and you click through from one of the links on this website you're helping support the site because we receive a small commission and it helps us pay for our ever increasing hosting costs. Thanks.

(there's a link on the home page of the site and I'll be putting one up on the store for the new comic, dvds, book soon but you can click on the Amazon link already on the store page and search from there and it'll still work)

Another article on the novel (includes interview with one of the writers) SOME SPOILERS FOR BOOK CONTENT:
http://www.comicbookresources……8;id=32998

I have never read a graphic novel in my life, but the Castle tie-in has this one on pre-order for me.  And I love that the writer says this about one of the female characters:

 

Yes, color us intrigued! "Castle" fans are accustomed to a female character that is just as capable, and in most cases more capable, than the male lead. Will that type of character be in "Deadly Storm?" If so, what can you tell us about her?

Yes, absolutely. Just like the show, the book is brimming with smart, strong, capable women who have their own motives and challenges. It's a large cast and I can name five women I'm proud of and interested in, but the star is really Clara Stryker, Storm's CIA handler. She's heavily influenced by Kate Beckett, our justification being that Castle has always been chasing down that muse.

Remember when you pre-order it to do so via our store page, it helps support the running costs of this website smile http://castletv.net/store

I've pre-ordered it as well because anything Castle related is a must-have, but now I'm even more excited to get it this fall. grin grin

OK Castle, but it's accompany and observe, and not participate and annoy, got it?

Saw the sneak peek of the graphic novel and it looks pretty good.  I'm not into that kind of thing at all, but I'll definitely be buying that.

A very nice article in USA Today.  There are some SLIGHT SPOILERS regarding plot line and characters, so beware.

Thanks for posting that article Leftfield. It's so cool that Castle fans have these tie-ins to expand the universe of the show. Great to see in the article that Heat Rises is at #5 on their list.
