Mike Perkins posts a page from next week's Freddie The Fix one-shot, written by Garth Ennis and part of the Ninth Circle publishing imprint coming out through Image Comics, courtesy of Garth Ennis, Marguerite Bennett, Joe Pruett, Ram V, Adam Glass, Michael Bogner, David Stone and Kimberly Steward. Perkins writes "This dialogue SINGS! Wonderful work from Garth. The dinosaurs in FREDDIE THE FIX have their own religion – my contribution to this being their symbol; a normal crucifix but with a shorter cross beam as, surely, T-Rex Jesus would have had stumpy little arms! OUT NEXT WEEK!!"
