Garth Ennis' Rover Red Charlie Trade Hits Stores This Week

Published Tue, 23 Sep 2014 20:00:41 -0500

I remember getting to read the first issue of Garth Ennis' new series Rover Red Charlie early so I could do up some interview questions for Ennis and artist Michael Dipascale about the series. The story was simple, following three dogs as they try to survive and understand as a worldwide plague destroys mankind. It was brutal and heart-wrenching and like nothing else I'd read before. It comes across differently than any other post-apocalyptic story out there because the lead characters rely on humanity to exist and now there is no humanity left… just violent killers.

It's a very well written, beautifully drawn book and if you haven't read it, do yourself the favor and at least look through it at comic shops this week.

GARTH ENNIS – the creator of Preacher and Crossed – RoverRedCharlie-Vol-1-TPB delivers a story like no other, as an unlikely band of canines set out to survive in a world gone horribly mad.

Now he and his friends Rover and Red must escape the bloody city and find their way in this strange master-less new world. Ennis applies his incredible talent for shockingly original tales and spot-on dialogue in this fully painted story will change the way you look at pets and takes you on a spiritual journey of rediscovery through the eyes of these canine best friends.
