Babs: The Black Road South #1 Preview

 

Cover A by Jacen Burrows

 

Alas, poor Yorick! Babs knew him well. But Babs doesn't have time to dwell on her memories. Nor does she spend her days reading the Bard. She's too busy living the high life of the sword-wielding adventurer. With her friend Izzy, and her talking sword Barry, is there anything she cannot take on? What does the writer of The Hitman, and the co-creator of The Boys, have in store next for Babs, Izzy, and Barry?

“BABS is sharp, subversive, hilarious, and absolutely one of the best comics of 2024,” said CBR—and now the hit Ennis/Burrows sword-and-sorcery satire returns! A day of over-the-top carnage in a gladiator arena leads Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy directly into a strange, unfamiliar, bizarre situation: they actually have money! That’s good, right? Wrong—because it’s about to lead them down a dark, horrific road to the devastated wasteland of Mordynn.
