Long ago, a young woman sacrificed her humanity to become the otherworldly femme fatale known as Lady Death. But now, Lady Death is no more. Stripped of her magic and memory, dethroned by the villainous Death Queen, and banished from the Blacklands, she escapes to Earth during the Dark Ages in the form of an amnesiac mortal thief named Illadra. Driven by hazy visions of her former glory, the skillful Illadra sets off on a worldwide quest to reclaim her fragmented power… and face the evils that her magic has awakened. The first volume of the new Lady Death series includes a rare prose introduction by writer Mike Wolfer, previously only available in a hard-to-find comic book handed out at conventions.
The swords-and-sorcery epic of Lady Death, a warrior queen in a hellish dimension, perfect for fans of gothic fantasy and strong female lead characters. When her mother was whisked away to a hellish dimension, a courageous young woman named Hope sacrificed her humanity to become the otherworldly sorceress known as Lady Death. Through years of warfare, she conquered a realm… but failed to save her mother’s soul. Now, her mother has returned, revealed as the usurper Death Queen, and Lady Death has lost both her kingdom and her direction. Worse still, the heroine’s quest to retake her throne sees her trusted allies, Wargoth and Satasha, at each other’s throats, aligned on opposite sides of the conflict. Lady Death’s war has just gotten intensely personal… and bloody!
The original STRANGE KISS storyline collected, featuring the introduction of William Gravel! Strange Kiss is best described by Ellis "A horrific murder/suicide in the middle of a busy city street at midday; an old man rotting and bloating in a hospital bed, something sick gestating inside him; in a darkened place close by, people screaming, impregnated, doomed. Something beautiful and awful is trying to reproduce, and its strange kiss is only to be feared..."
Finally, back in print! Warren Ellis brings his mad visions to life with the same team who brought you Strange Kiss. Stranger Kisses is about people for whom two genders are not enough, no matter how you play mix and match with sexuality. It's also about videotape, bad secrets, and what it's like to have an entire city wanting to kill you. The videotape is of seriously physically modified whores. Possibly altered at the genetic level. Because those extra orifices look grown. And those weird protuberances don't look artificial.... A very 21st Century comic, mad and modern and speedy and full of nasty ideas. In LA, the future of rich man's whoring and trophy women is being designed. Two sexes are not enough. People like their kisses stranger than that.
