Synopsis:Warren Ellis’ masked hero masterpiece continues it’s monthly run right here! The American military machine is mobilised in pursuit of John Horus — and his one-time comrades. Withheld information and misplaced anger leads to open fire in the streets of the city that the Seven Guns came from, and the hammer of the wrath of the government and the people is about to come down on five people who, just twenty four hours ago, were at best forgotten heroes… With art by the genius Juan Jose Ryp, no fan of The Authority or Wanted will want to miss this bleeding-edge eight issue masterpiece. This issue is available with a regular or wraparound cover and also a rare 1-in-25 cover featuring the Angel One design sketch, all by series artist Juan Jose Ryp.

Opinion: The best comic being published (other than THE BOYS) continues to deliver. It accomplishes what Marvel failed at so miserably with their weak CIVIL WAR series and the bajillion crossovers associated with it. It’s what all great superhero comics should hope to be when they grow up. Warren Ellis continues with his god-like storytelling and Juan Jose Ryp reveals shades of Geoff Darrow while adding his own unique stylization to the violence, gore, and the subtle domestic moments that are peppered throughout this series. In this issue John Horus is still nowhere to be found after murdering George W. Bu… err, I mean THE PRESIDENT and bout of in-fighting amongst the other members of THE SEVEN GUNS threatens all parties involved. I don’t want to give too much away, but next issue ought to be a bonzer of a blood-bath given the set-up in the last couple of pages of the book. Book of the week? Hell, book of the month! Sell your Grandma’s wheelchair if you need money to buy this book. Obtain it at all cost!
