X Omnibus vol. 1
Product details
The city of Arcadia is the dark side of the American Dream. It's the land of opportunity if you've got the money to buy it or the muscle to take it. The police are the best trained and equipped in the country if you can afford their protection. Crime is under control because crime is in control. For the corrupt and the ruthless, Arcadia is paradise on Earth. But a cold storm is blowing through the streets of Arcadia, a plague wind in black leather and torn cloth, a one-eyed, one-man judge, jury, and executioner whom the papers call "The X-Killer." He has set the new rules for Arcadia. Cross the line once, you'll receive a warning. Cross them twice, and X will mark the spot . . . where they'll find your body.
X Omnibus Volume 1 collects for the first time the audacious, critically acclaimed Dark Horse series that made "grim and gritty" superheroes seem like cuddly plush toys. Violent and morally ambiguous, X walks the thin line between heroism and obsession and shows that sometimes the cure may be worse than the disease. X Omnibus Volume 1 features over three hundred story pages by creators including Steven Grant, Doug Mahnke, Chris Warner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Tim Bradstreet.
* Collects X #1-11; X: One Shot to the Head; "Welcome to the Jungle" from Dark Horse Comics #19, 20; X: Hero Illustrated Special #1, 2
With more than 60 individual comics covering such classics as The Mask, Barb Wire, Captain Midnight, the supernatural tales of Elisa Cameron as Ghost, the exceptional 47 Ronin, the tales of the masked vigilante known only as X and much, much more, our new updated and enhanced Classic Gems 2nd Edition by Dark Horse Comic Bundle brings together a thrilling unique collection of both true classics and some lesser known gems of the Dark Horse universe.
Tier 1 opens with 5 titles beginning with our first look at the uber-violent avenger X in X Omnibus vol. 1 and another first look at the thrilling and chilling world of Ghost!
Tier 2 adds in another 18 comics and introduces us to the Mask Series, made even more famous by the classic Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz movie of the same name: The Mask Omnibus and the Adventures of The Mask Omnibus. More from X: X Omnibus vol. 2 and others.
Barb Wire was Pamela Anderson's big screen comic book heroine,but before that she was an all action bounty hunter with bad-ass skills, fast talking,g and fast-moving; Barb Wire Book 1: Steel Harbor Blues sets the scene for more adventures later.
Captain Midnight is a real blast from the past, dating back to the 40’s with a radio and TV series and then a series of hit comic books. Volume 1: On the Run starts off the journey, and Captain Midnight Volume 2: Brave Old World continues the adventure.
We find SpyBoy in this tier too. Alex Fleming is a young boy with a so-called normal life, but he doesn't know that he's a sleeper agent, codenamed "SpyBoy" until he does!
Ham-let: A Shakespearean Mash-up is a fun and engaging graphic novel. A satirical reimagining of a classic Shakespearean tale told from the point of view of a cast of animals and based on characters from Shakespeare's greatest plays.
Tier 3 includes all 61 comics and is led by the awesome 47 Ronin; Among the best-known tales in Japanese history, the legend of the 47 Ronin and their epic mission to avenge their disgraced master epitomises the samurai code of honour. It has been said, "To know the story of the 47 Ronin is to know Japan.
We also conclude this bundle's legacy of the Barb Wire series, the X series and the final part of SpyBoy as well as what could be seen as a blueprint for many recognisable films, TV series, comic books and novels: In the late 1930s, a covert government agency was established to protect Earth from potential extraterrestrial threats. These brave men and women were called Project Black Sky, and what they discovered would change the course of human history: Project Black Sky: Secret Files is the starting point.
SpyBoy Volumes 3-7 complete this series as well as the final parts of the original Captain Midnight comic books.
