savage-things

A new Vertigo title is in production and should be arriving in comic stores by March. Savage Things is billed as a fusion of espionage thriller, action and horror, which is being scripted by writer Justin Jordan (The Legacy of Luther Strode, Deathstroke) and illustrated by Ibrahim Moustafa (The Flash, High Crimes).

Twenty-five years ago, a secret government organization kidnapped children and trained them to be agents of chaos, designed to foment unrest and execute enemies of the state around the world. When these cold and unfeeling creations proved too difficult to control, the powers that be exterminated their kill squad with extreme prejudice. Too bad it didn’t work.

Now a rogue band of the worst monsters the world has ever known is cutting a swath of terror across the United States, threatening not just a disruption of the peace but to expose secrets their handlers never wanted to come to light. The only way to stop them is to call back the only man who ever walked away from them. His code name is Abel, and he’s not afraid of getting his hands bloody.

Savage Things Issue #1 will be published on March 1st, eight issues will be released in the miniseries in total. The cover design is from John Paul Leon (Earth X).
