Tow Cow has revealed a new series in partnership with EP1T0ME Studios called Revolvers. Written by John Zuur Platten (St. Mercy), illustrated by Christian DiBari (TCP: Colossus, Tales Told in Techni-Horror), and colored by Simon Gough the series is set to debut in comic shops on October 5th.
“I had this idea for the Moratorium, a purgatory wherein the dead, the Revolvers, descend from humans to demonic creatures each time around the Gyre,” says Platten. “EP1T0ME let me go dark; I had a blast weaving Hampton’s twisted story through his sordid cast of characters and overlaying today’s Detroit with a more hellish version of it.”
So what’s Revolvers about?
Revolvers introduces Hampton Wales, a Detroit homicide detective trapped in a mysterious and violent alternate reality, struggling to solve his own, seemingly mundane, murder.
“Revolvers is hands down the darkest horror book I’ve done yet,” says DiBari. “It’s got a bit of that Michael Mann crime neo-noir and a lot of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. The world that John and I are creating is definitely a crazy one; I can’t wait for Top Cow fans to check it out!”
