DriveThruComics have released the latest titles available for you to download:
Of all the settings that come along, some really stick with you. The best ones combine special combinations of classic concepts and unique ideas, and they produce memorable characters both at the gaming table and in the overall story you share with the creators.
Deadlands is most certainly one of those settings.
Shane “Shoot `em again, just to be sure!” Hensley has teamed up with the fantastic folks at Visionary Comics to present a series of comics based on the Weird West setting of Deadlands. Let’s take a look at a few –
Deadlands: Death Was Silent – A silent bounty hunter rides into a remote town, but the town holds dark secrets that may turn the hunter into the hunted. Superstars RON MARZ and BART SEARS team up for a weird Western tale unlike any other!
~~~
Deadlands: Black Water – JEFF MARIOTTE & BROOK TURNER weave a tale of mysticism, eternal love, and maybe a sea monster of two in ‘Black Water,’ as a weathly man searches the Great Maze for the beautiful woman who has haunted his dreams for decades.
~~~
Deadlands: The Kid (Origins) – Visionary Comics and Pinnacle Entertainment brings Billy the Kid to DEADLANDS! 12 years old, family wiped out, and all alone in the middle of the wild Weird West… hunted by werewolves. Grab a gun, there’s killin’ to be done! The print backup series collected in its own special edition.
Also be sure to check out Deadlands: Massacre at Red Wing and Deadlands: The Devil’s Six Gun, also from Pinnacle and Visionary.
~~~
Cheers, and keep reading!
