Three bounty hunter siblings blaze a path of death and destruction across the old west. Traveling by moonlight they rip criminals screaming for mercy froÂÂm their hiding places, but none is ever given. Each bounty is torn, broken, and bled dry before they are delivered dead and payment collected in gold – no silver. The Irons are the most feared bounty hunting killers in the west, but that fear isn’t based on them being the fastest with a pistol or rifle. It’s because they’re the walking dead.
A lone tortured soul tracks them with vengeance and salvation driving him to end the curse upon his family. Those who he rescues call him savior but those who look upon his twisted and scarred face call him monster. Silas Irons is the only hope his brothers and sister have of salvation from the abominations they’ve become. But even the purity of his heart can’t stop the unnatural rage and bloodlust building in his diseased soul.
A black curse turned these siblings into monsters but deep rooted and twisted family history made them into the worst kind of horrors. This year’s biggest supernatural western tale begins here! Written by James Kuhoric (Freddy vs Jason vs Ash), illustrated by Jason Alexander (Hellboy’s Abe Sapien series), and based on character designs and covers by Jae Lee (The Dark Tower). Dead Irons – 99 innocent souls – 6 undead monsters – 1 shot to save the world.
Featuring a main cover by Jae Lee, and a 1-in-8 chase cover by Jason Shawn Alexander. All on high-end cardstock covers ala Marvel’s The Dark Tower!

GARTH ENNIS’ DAN DARE VOL. 1 OMNIBUS HARDCOVER
Garth Ennis (W) Gary Erskine (A)
Cover: Dave Gibbons
Dan Dare has made his Dynamite in this Hardcover Edition of the acclaimed series from writer Garth Ennis and artist Garry Leach!
Dan Dare has been an icon since 1950. Elaborate stories of his space travel and galactic battles defending people of the universe captivated post-War baby boomers. Dan Dare’s adventures burst to the forefront of pop culture, selling nearly 1 million copies each week in the pages of the Eagle Comic. And now he’s back!
“Dan Dare is the quintessential British hero. He’s our Captain America, our Superman, our Batman, he’s all of them rolled into one. He’s the original and the best,†said Garth Ennis in the initial press release, and the writer did the hero proud in one incredible series!
Dan Dare is set in the future, albeit not too many decades from the present day. Colonel Dare is still vibrant and courageous – but now he’s retired. His retirement is a self-imposed exile, the result of his disgust with politics and the post-nuclear warfare that has destroyed North America and much of Asia – leaving the UK as the world’s last remaining superpower. Readers familiar with Dan Dare stories will recognize many of the original cast including a wiser and more experienced Digby; the innovative, brilliant and beautiful Professor Peabody; and of course the enemy of all that is good, the super-intelligent ruler of the Treens – The Mekon, together with a mix of galactic evil beings.
The Dynamite Hardcover Edition will feature the complete Ennis series along with a complete cover gallery!
