Kingsway West

From Evan Narcisse’s io9 article about Kingsway West:

It’s extremely rare for me to get pulled all the way into a new fictional reality from the very first page of a comic. With only a map and four captions of expository text, the first page of Kingsway West #1 got me hungry to know more about the world of a Chinese cowboy in an Old West radically changed by magic gold.

Check out the full article and interview and preorder Kingsway West #1 today from your local retailer or at KingswayWest.com! The book arrives in comic shops August 24 — final order cutoff for retailers is August 1, so be sure to let them know before then that you want the book!

Check it out! My new Dark Horse comic book series Kingsway West now has a trailer — with a tremendous soundtrack from Adam WarRock and Mikal kHill.

Kingsway West tells the story of a Chinese gunslinger searching for his wife in an Old West overrun with magic. The book hits comic stores on August 24 — please pre-order today from your local shop or at KingswayWest.com!

Kingsway West is written by yours truly with art by Mirko Colak, colors by Wil Quintana, and letters by Simon Bowland.

And check out this new ComicsAlliance interview wherein I talk all about the book, the first issue of which arrives on November 11 and can be preordered at KingswayWest.com!

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

CA: Let’s get into some plot specifics. Obviously, our main character is Kingsway Law, a gunslinger who just did a 13-year stint in prison.

GP: Yep. A wild man who came of age on a lawless frontier… but who’s determined as hell to stay out of trouble now and find his wife.

CA: How wild are we talking here?

GP: Dangerous, unpredictable, legend-in-his-own-time wild?

CA: And there’s also a “mysterious Chinese swordswoman” that we’ve heard about in earlier interviews.

GP: Yep. She’s on the cover. Her name is Ah Toy. She’s got a mission for Kingsway that might put everything he’s dreamed about for 13 years into jeopardy.

CA: So there’s magic, swords, guns, and what appears to be a Jackalope with a saddle. What else can we look forward to in terms of the story?

GP: Huge love story. Big action. Complex protagonists and antagonists, including a woman Buffalo Soldier turned scout named Strode. And an epic reimagining of America’s past and future. And of course gorgeous, gorgeous art from Mirko Colak and colorist Wil Quintana.
