IDW To Collect Tom Scioli's American Barbarian
Tom Scioli, artist and co-author of Transformers vs. G.I. JOE, brings his anarchic comic-book odyssey, American Barbarian to IDW Publishing. The new collection is the complete series with exclusive, behind-the-scenes bonus material and an all-new introduction by Rob Liefeld.
American Barbarian tells the tale of Meric, the last American on a revenge quest across the POST-post-apocalyptic landscape of New Earthea. The half-tank/half-mummy Two-Tank Omen murdered Meric's family and payback is due. The young barbarian will fight every zombie, mutant motorcycle gang, and robosaur (robotic dinosaur) if that's what it takes to keep the American Dream alive.
"It's a distillation of everything I love about the comic book medium and its history, especially the tawdry bits," said Scioli. "I love trash and when you love trash, no matter where you go, you'll always find friends. It's an international language."
American Barbarian: The Complete Series comes out this July.
