From
Out Of The Shadowline...The Revenant!
Image releases new book in March...
Take
a look at that image of an Image book at right. Capturing
the flavor of pulps mixed in with the early days of superheroes,
The Revenant looks like something I'd have picked
up anyway.
But
it comes from the minds of Keith Giffen and Shannen Eric
Denton, whose work in recent years on concepts such as Brother
Bedlam have done an interesting job of bending genres
while steeling them with violence just a smidge over the
top. Yet the books always had strong story spines to hold
them up. So that makes this one doubly worth reading.
However,
writing the book for Giffen and Denton: Rob Worley.
Rob survived the Marvel Epic debacle, creating the concepts
behind Young Ancient One, which actually made their
way into mainstream Marvel lore. He's popped up here and
there over the past couple of years, most recently with
a Young Adult adventure novel called Heir to Fire
through the Actionopolis imprint, which you should be able
to find at finer bookstores everywhere.
Rob
also founded Comics2Film, a popular website that both inspired
and aided Fanboy Planet in its early days, so we've always
known he was a heck of a guy. He provided us with five pages
of full story and art to whet our appetites.
So take
a look here (click on the images for larger readable versions),
and consider running down this title in your January Previews
catalog...JAN08 2052.
