Revenge stalks a young girl in Gunslingers

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics presents a new and gritty Western tale about revenge, family, and surviving the ruthless West in the original graphic novel, Gunslingers. Written by Dark Horse Comics Founder Mike Richardson with art by creative partner Jordi Armengol and lettering by Jim Campbell, readers should be prepared for gunfights and powerful action when this posse arrives in March 2025.

Josephine’s 12th birthday turns to tragedy when, on a trip with her family into town for a special treat, her parents are shot and killed by a group of drunken cowboys. That group just happens to include Andrew McGeary, the son of an influential rancher celebrating his upcoming wedding. The following day, things go from bad to worse when, while at the sheriff’s office, Andrew shifts the blame onto Josephine’s parents. Enraged by the lie, and traumatized by the sight of her parents’ murder, Josephine unthinkingly grabs the sheriff’s gun and shoots Andrew dead. As a result, Andrew’s father wants Josephine tried and hanged for her crime. She is unexpectedly freed from custody by the outlaw grandfather she never met. Ethan Foster, a gunfighter long thought dead, comes out of hiding to save the only remaining member of his family. He and the girl face the relentless pursuit of the McGearys’ hired gunmen in order for him to accomplish the one last thing that might atone for his past.

Don’t miss your shot to secure Gunslingers, set to hit bookstores on March 18, 2025, and comic shops on March 19, 2025. This 128-page paperback (6.625 x 10.1875″) book is now available for pre-order for $19.99 from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.

East of West is getting a Paperback Compendium Edition for February 2025

Posted on by

All ten volumes of the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series—East of West by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Nick Dragotta will be collected into one massive paperback compendium in February 2025 from Image Comics. The East of West: The End Times compendium edition will tell the entire sci-fi/western epic, include issues #1-45, and feature new cover art by Dragotta.

East of West first launched to critical-acclaim in 2013 and took the industry by storm with its unique mashup of science-fiction and western genre sensibilities. The series hit shelves hot on the heels of Hickman and Dragotta’s successful Fantastic Four run and gained momentum with readers, selling-out and going back to print multiple times. East of West went on to garner a multitude of accolades, including an Eisner Award nomination in the Best Continuing Series category. To date, the series has sold over 1.5 million copies across all formats and has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Hungarian, Italian, and Polish. 

East of West is a Dystopian, speculative history story—similar in approach to Phillip K. Dick’s The Man in High Castle—but imagines a future United States in 2064 that follows an alternate timeline wherein the Civil War never ended. In it, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse roam the Earth, signaling the End Times for humanity, and the best hope for life, lies in Death. 

The East of West: The End Times Compendium (ISBN: 978-1534328297) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, February 19 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, March 4.
