Warren Ellis WOLFSKIN #1
Retail Price: $3.99 US
Cover: Juan Jose Ryp
Writer: Warren Ellis
Art: Juan Jose Ryp
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 32 pages, 1 of 3

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: From the time before history began: from the time when the continents were still connected by land: from the harsh climes at the top of the world, a Northish soldier wrapped in a cape of wolfpelts walks south, into the forests of the High Midlands that are now Europe, to find a village cut in two by travelers from the East. Soon, he too is torn - between duty to the lives he has ruined just by finding them, and duty to the hideous murder-god of the Northish wastes and the berserker drugs that are his sacrament... Warren Ellis cuts loose to unleash his take on the genre fans demanded he assault with full color art from Juan Jose (Frank Miller's Robocop, Nightmare on Elm Street) Ryp! WOLFSKIN fuses heroic fantasy in the mode of CONAN, the Viking sagas and samurai fiction into a single story of weird history and apocalyptic violence. As well as the regular, Wraparound, and Vicious covers by series artist Juan Jose Ryp, this issue is also available as a Painted cover by newcomer Carlos Valenzuela.

Wormwood is the anti-Christ, no way around it, his dad is Satan and his demonic powers help him fit right into New York. His best friend is Jesus, who is a black, mentally-challenged, man that just isn't performing many miracles these days. The pesky Armageddon is coming right up, and it doesn't look like Pope Jacko is going to be any help in stopping it. Ennis drags the whole world into the gutter with his trademark razor-sharp dialogue, biting wit, and the stunning art of Jacen Burrows, all in full-color. The Chronicles of Wormwood is an on-going series of series that launches this summer!
