If you're not familiar with cyberpunk horror tour de force MINE TO AVENGE: The Book of Layla, you can cop all three issues via the Kickstarter that launched on October 30. Peep the promo vid below.
The sales pitch:
The history books call it a house of horrors. A testament to the true depravity that inhabits the souls of man.
The little girl who escaped the demonic forces which occupied the LaLaurie New Orleans mansion on a sunny day in 1833, though, called it something else: the site of a rebirth. The little girl swore on that day that she would never be anyone else’s victim, and so began a centuries long campaign of bloody revenge. The Retribution Cabal (RC) was born, protecting only those descendants of America’s original sin. Now on a cyberpunk stage where technological wonders leave no place for creatures of legend, the LaLauries and their denizens reappear, continuing their blood-soaked quest for obtaining ultimate power. Time will tell if the remaining members of the fractured Cabal can stand as the bulwark between humanity and the rising hordes of darkness.
Prolific comics scribe Robert Jeffrey II really has a handle on the monster comic. Italian artist Matteo Illuminati presents a great mix of cartooning and storytelling that combines with the colors by Loris Ravina to carry the emotional mood swings in Jeffrey's scripts.
This is how Blade should be written, so Marvel should look his way if they're serious about making the Daywalker everything he should be (I'm not saying they are).
But who cares about Marvel?
