MAY 20, MILWAUKIE, OR—From the mind of Dan
LuVisi comes a brand-spanking-new intellectual property. Where most
comics start off with a first issue, Last Man Standing starts off
with a 272-page bible, Killbook of a Bounty Hunter, that sets up
the entire universe of the LMS world.
Dark Horse Comics is set to reprint the hard-to-find cult tome. The
hardcover book will include thirty pages of all-new material and a
new cover. This bible takes the form of a scrapbook filled with
maps, history, over forty character biographies and dossiers, tons
of faux advertisements, and much, much more.
A limited San Diego Comic-Con exclusive edition is currently in the
works, with a special cover shown here, which will only be for sale
through Dark Horse at Comic-Con International 2013.
More on Last Man Standing: Meet Gabriel—last of a genetically
engineered breed of supersoldiers known as the Paladin. After
winning an interstellar war between Earth and Mars, Gabriel is
celebrated back home and given the new title of Protector of
Amerika. All goes well for the newly entitled superhero as he
begins to rid the streets of the scum that plagues it. However, as
Gabriel is distracted by his duties, a terrorist organization known
as Pandemonium frames the hero for a series of atrocious
crimes.
Now stripped of his title and prestige, Gabriel is sentenced to the
notorious Level-9 Facility, where he endures nine long years of
torture and imprisonment. But as the clock ticks down to Gabriel’s
eventual demise, he is introduced to the elusive Agent O, who
offers the Paladin a chance at redemption. Learn his story—and that
of his allies and enemies—through Gabriel’s eyes, as he begins to
orchestrate his revenge in the scarred and vivid world of New
Amerika.
Last Man Standing is on sale November 6, 2013.
