"I would crawl over broken glass to read this." –Jason Aaron (SCALPED,Wolverine )

Vertigo's most unusual and terribly cool post-apocalyptic road-trip epic is unstoppable. The innocent deer/boy Gus is forced from his forest sanctuary into the almost annihilated world of men where he's desperately led by a different kind of force of nature: A cold killer who promises the only chance of salvation. Get onboard the buzz bandwagon with the ongoing series mash-up of horror, high adventure and friendship by Eisner-nominated storyteller Jeff Lemire (THE NOBODY, Essex County Trilogy).

I really love this rendition of Gus by Writer and Artist Ray Fawkes. Ray is a multi-talented dude, a few years ago he wrote the Vertigo mini-series Mnemovore. he also wrote The Apocalypstix drawn by Cameron Stewart. Ray has recently returned to drawing his own work, and I can't wait to read it!

Both the desperate and the hopeful fill the long, hard road through the wasteland in Vertigo's very different epic by award-winning creator Jeff Lemire. Everyone's looking to survive another day, and now they're beginning to see the young boy from the woods as the only means to that end.
