    Avatar Press
    Writers: Warren Ellis
    Pencils: Juan Jose Ryp

    Part 2 of 7
    Warren Ellis’ masked hero masterpiece continues it’s monthly run right here! The American military machine is mobilised in pursuit of John Horus -- and his one-time comrades. Withheld information and misplaced anger leads to open fire in the streets of the city that the Seven Guns came from, and the hammer of the wrath of the government and the people is about to come down on five people who, just twenty four hours ago, were at best forgotten heroes... With art by the genius Juan Jose Ryp, no fan of The Authority or Wanted will want to miss this bleeding-edge eight issue masterpiece. This issue is available with a regular or wraparound cover and also a rare 1-in-25 cover featuring the Angel One design sketch, all by series artist Juan Jose Ryp.
