2048 AD: A corrupt government rules the United Corporate States of America. Most people live in slum districts while their corporate masters rule from vast tower blocks in comparative luxury. Is the shadowy figure known as ‘Slaughter Hawk’ the hero that the people so desperately need? I’m going to add to this press release (as I got an early read of this comic) and say that we’ve never needed Slaughter Hawk more than we do now.
I read this from cover to cover and couldn’t put it down.
This is of course a superhero, albeit a rather dark portrayal of one. But it is also one that would fit in well with the tastes of a 2000 AD reader. It has a grittiness about it but also includes hilariously overblown characters who are in return in possession of numerous steroid induced muscles on muscles on muscles. We also get gadgets, tech armour, a militarised government and female ninja(ish) assassins. Dave does all the above with a little satirical glint in his eye. He knows what he is doing and he is also having great fun doing it. What more can you ask for?
Each comic book comes with a free gift (while stocks last) - an A3 full colour Slaughter Hawk poster.
SLAUGHTER HAWK is launching at the ICE ‘International Comic Expo’ being held on September 15th at Birmingham City Centre. More information on the event here: www.smallzone.co.uk
