The hashtag to Damn Them All can be #damnthemall, however it appears to be like extra like Damn The Mall. But from the second they teased that The Walking Dead‘s Charlie Adlard can be bringing a challenge over to Boom Studios, we knew it might be a giant one for the Big Four writer. After all, that is Adlard’s first creator-owned sequence since The Walking Dead made him a family title.
Bleeding Cool was the primary to invest Adlard can be paired with Step By Bloody Step author and former Bleeding Cool columnist Si Spurrier and, naturally, when Damn Them All was introduced forward of Comic-Con, we had been confirmed proper. We had been additionally the primary to level out that the sequence lead, Ellie “Bloody El” Hawthorne, is principally the illegitimate daughter of Johanna Constantine and Negan making her a really interesting character certainly for followers of Spurrier and Adlard. Throw in being featured on the quilt of Diamond Previews, and it isn’t stunning we’re listening to that Damn Them All is monitoring to be Spurrier’s largest creator-owned launch but.
Earlier this week, Boom unveiled a shock variant cowl by Becky Cloonan, who took a break from writing Wonder Woman and Batgirls for DC, to return to her creative roots. Yes, the identical kind of shock variant cowl dropped simply forward of Final Order Cutoff that helped catapult Something Is Killing The Children, Grim, and Briar into the licensed hit stratosphere. Will Cloonan’s cowl give Damn Them All the “Boom Bump” we have seen on these different sequence and assist Bloody El take her place subsequent to Erica Slaughter, Jessica Harrow, and Briar Rose?
In addition to the open-to-order variant, Boom additionally added a 1-in-200 variant of Cloonan’s cowl and a totally returnable Boom Guarantee variant by cowl artist InHyuk Lee to the already cowl lineup of Adlard, Dani, Sean Phillips, and Christian Ward. What’s extra, I’m listening to that there is a baker’s dozen retailer-exclusive variant cowl queued up for Damn Them All from a assassin’s row of canopy artists.
More importantly, I’m listening to the primary subject is a 28-page tour-de-force by Spurrier, Adlard, colourist Sofie Dodgson, and letterer Jim Campbell. Fans lacking Spurrier’s work on the cut-far-too-short John Constantine, Hellblazer sequence will get their itch scratched coupled with the excessive idea of Bloody El having to ship the 72 devils of the Ars Goetia again to Hell by any means obligatory. Meanwhile, Adlard and Dodgson have pulled out all of the stops and given the sequence a recent look that distinguishes it from even The Walking Dead Deluxe. Will retailers order sufficient copies to satisfy the demand of The Walking Dead and Hellblazer followers? And in that case, will Damn Them All turn out to be Boom Studios’ highest ordered creator-owned launch of the 12 months (thus far)?
Final Order Cutoff for Damned Them All #1 is that this coming Monday, September twenty sixth so we’ll know quickly sufficient!
