SHERWOOD, TX /BOONDOCK SAINTS DOUBLE FEATURE
A story older than all of us, told now for the first time... After the same biker gang who murdered his
father leaves ROB HOOD for dead, he returns to seek revenge on an epic, blood-soaked scale. Combining the biker gang epic with Spaghetti Western sensibilities, SHERWOOD, TX retells the legend of Robin Hood as a modern day, noir-action opus. Hood is joined on his quest by Padre Elvin Tuck, Will Scarlet, and Little John, as they take on the crooked Sheriff of Nottingham, TX and his partners in crime, The Nobles biker gang and their leader John Prince. Included in this 12-Gauge FCBD issue is a special BOONDOCK SAINTS co-feature, written by film-franchise creator/writer/director Troy Duffy and comic scribe J.B. Love, with art by Toby Cypress! Fans of the film series won't want to miss this short story/deleted scene from the original cult-classic film, as the MacManus brothers bring their brand of justice to the criminals of Boston, MA. There are preview pages

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
In an all-new story by award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis and acclaimed artist Nick Bradshaw, the Guardians of the Galaxy welcome Venom and Captain Marvel to the team for the launch of a not-to-be-missed death-defying epic! PLUS: Writer Dan Slott lays the foundation for 2014's top secret Spider-Man event that will rock the Wall Crawler's world forever!
We are hoping this one is as great as it sounds. Can't help but to raise an eyebrow when Marvel has both a SpiderMan movie out right now and a GOTG movie coming out in the near future.

You also get a mind shattering sneak preview from the second volume of the coolest comic series you haven't read yet... Ehmm Theory!
We fell in love with the art as soon as we saw the
PREVIEW.
