Image Comics has announced that Brian Haberlin and Geirrod Van Dyke’s Hellcop is coming back to comic shops in October.
“If you look through my dozens and dozens of sketch books over the years you’ll see one of my characters continually pop up more than all of the others…Virgil Hilts: Hellcop. This is a story and character itch I’ve desperately needed to scratch for…well decades,” said Haberlin in a press release from Image COmics. “Think of the story as a modern day Bladerunner meets the conspiracy of China Town. Virgil stumbles upon a shadowy cabal/vast cover up that he must expose in order to survive. We’re having a lot of fun building the world of Hell, which isn’t so different from our own. So keep an eye out for some old style comic ads in the books with a straight out of Hell flavor. We even have one of my favorite Hellions, Spawn, as an incentive cover of issue 1. It’s going to be one hell of a ride.”
When mankind first broke through the walls between dimensions, nothing could have prepared them for what they would find in Known Reality Plane 1301-A: it was Hell. Literally. A covert security force was quickly assembled to patrol the Hellplane and ensure that none of the nastier denizens made their way Earthside. They were dubbed the Pan-Dimensional Security Corps. The Hellcops.
In addition to the regular print version, Image Comics is releasing a 3D version of Hellcop #1 complete with a pair of 3D glasses.
Hellcop #1 is scheduled to arrive on October 20, 2021.
