Geekscape Comics: Preview ‘Ten Grand’ By J. Michael Straczynski And Ben Templesmith!

There’s less than a month to go until the debut of J. Michael Straczynski and Ben Templesmith’s Ten Grand, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been infatuated with Templesmith’s art since the very first time I picked up 30 Days of Night, and Straczynski has a glamorous resume ripe with comics, film, and television.

Image today released the first preview for the upcoming book, and as expected, it looks fantastic. Check out the preview pages below, and let us know what you think!

Joe Fitzgerald was a mob enforcer until the day he met Laura, who convinced him to leave that world behind. Before quitting, Joe agrees to one last job, little realizing that the man he’s been sent to kill was deeply involved in demonlogy. He survives Joe’s attempt and comes after him, fatally wounding Joe and killing Laura. As he lies dying, an angelic force promises that if Joel agrees to work for them as a different kind of enforcer, they will bring him to life and keep on bringing him to life every time he is killed in a righteous cause. The reward: for those five minutes of death, he will be with Laura again. Would you endure an eternity of pain and death, dying over and over, to be with the woman you love for just five minutes each time you died? Most people might say no. But Joe Fitzgerald isn’t most people.
