Here's something anybody would love to get for Christmas! And by "anybody" I mean ME!
Here's the Sales Pitch:
FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN ONE HARDCOVER VOLUME: RICK REMENDER'S
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED INDIE HIT, FROM START TO FINISH! Ten years after
the Rapture, a beautiful
occultist and her pet demon embark on a road trip to the last open
gateway to heaven, in hopes of befriending God and escaping hell on
earth. A bare-knuckle, action-driven series, peppered with social
commentary and dark humor, STRANGE GIRL is a story about the bewildering
nature of religion, what would happen if the dark future predicted by
many came true, and what a good person would endure for not having faith
in advance of it. Featuring story and art by a handful of today's
hottest new talents including RICK REMENDER (Uncanny X-Force, Venom),
ERIC NGUYEN (Halo, Sandman), JEROME OPENA (Uncanny X-Force, Punisher)
and NICK STAKAL (Criminal Macabre). Collects STRANGE GIRL #1-18
While all the critics were busy acclaiming this or whatever, I was broke, so I read my boy Khalid's whenever I could, so I can confirm that this comic's awesome! I never got to read the later issues, but the Eric Nguyen issues were bananas... If you stop by your comic shop anytime soon, you should at least take a look at this. The Strange Girl Limited Edition Slipcase Collection is available now, and you can preorder the new Strange Girl Omnibus Hardcover, which comes out the first week of January.
holla!
