Hard-Boiled Action And A Rogue Main Character In Gravedigger From Action Lab

Hailed as a modern classic by critics and fans, Gravedigger has found a new home with Action Lab's mature readers imprint, Danger Zone. Before Brubaker and Phillips did Criminal, before Darwyn Cooke adapted Donald Westlake, there was "Digger." Written by Christopher Mills, with art by Rick Burchett, Gravedigger follows the story of career criminal "Gravedigger" McCrae. Even with a .9mm automatic in his hand and a wealth of experience under his belt, the veteran thief still finds himself in deadly trouble when his well-laid plans go violently off the rails in a pair of violent, pulp fiction capers.

President of Action Lab: Danger Zone, Jason Martin shared his thoughts on Gravedigger:

Mills and Burchett's Gravedigger is a phenomenal addition to our creator-owned lineup, and we're extremely excited to be working with such notable creators! Fans of noir and comics like Parker or Sin City will want grab a stiff drink and kick back for a rough time. And hey, this stuff is so widescreen, you'll literally have to turn the book sideways to read it!

Chuck Dixon, writer of Detective Comics, G.I. Joe, and Nightwing added:

Chris Mills and Rick Burchett have created an instant crime comic classic. Briskly told with all best aspects of a pulp story presented with panache and the proper measure of meaness. I love this comic!

The three-issue mini series entitled, The Predators contains everything readers love in crime comics. Looking at the covers, I'm a big fan of the look. It has an edgy classic feel to it. Gravedigger #1 is available for preorder now, and hits comic stands this July.
