Leading the charge for DUEL MASTERS' North American release is Dreamwave Productions, with DUEL MASTERS #1, hitting store shelves this November. The all-new ongoing comic series by writer Brian Augustyn (Mega Man, Crimson) and penciler Jeremy Tiongson, promises a thrilling fantasy adventure for readers of all ages.

"DUEL MASTERS has all of the right elements for a fun, compelling comic, from a courageous hero at its center, to a fantastic world of creatures and lands for readers to explore," says Dreamwave President Pat Lee. "We're pleased to be part of the team that will be bringing DUEL MASTERS to the North American Audience."

"Dreamwave has done an absolutely fantastic job translating the TRANSFORMERS saga into a comic book series and they are the ideal choice to help us launch DUEL MASTERS in the U.S.," said Tom Klusaritz, Vice President of Publishing for Hasbro Consumer Products.

DUEL MASTERS #1 hits comic book retailers everywhere this November.

DUEL MASTERS #1 will feature 5 covers by the talented Dreamwave crew including Pat Lee. Each issue will be polybagged containing a special insert. There will be five different inserts to be collected and each corresponds to its respective cover. The announcement of these "special inserts" will happen prior to the series' launch.

The DUEL MASTERS property is co-owned by Wizards of the Coast, Mistui Kids Station and Shogakukan.
