I'm a fan of Daniel Warren Johnson's work. He's done a number of stellar comics at Image, did a superb mini about Beta Ray Bill at Marvel, killed it on, "Wonder Woman: Dead Earth," and his, "Absolute Batman," works have been stellar. This November, DWJ is launching a new series titled, "Chainkata," and it features a lady with a chainsaw sword. In space. I mean, yeah, sold! Others think it looks cool, too.
As a chunk of the announcement today from Image Comics reads, "In Chainkata, Luma is a chainsaw-wielding warrior queen, seeking out an unknown power in the vastness of space. All she wants is to find peace, but violence and terror follow her through every black hole. The story will blend the epic, high-stakes sci-fi of Beta Ray Bill and Space-Mullet and with the character-building depth of Extremity and Do A Powerbomb. It is the culmination, and maximization, of Johnson's craft and the perfect read for fans of action-packed comics with art that leaps from the page." This sounds like it was designed to be an absolute hoot, and I can't wait to learn more as Image rolls out the promo for it during CCI/SDCC later this month. DWJ is a superb artist, storyteller, and creator of cool comics, so this is bound to be pretty snazzy.
