Description
A bad date turns into
a terrifying battle to the death. Stalked by relentless killers, with only an
invisible force field to protect her, this beautiful "Killer Virgin"
plays a deadly game of hard to get.
Imagine if Sarah Connor from the "Terminator" arrived
in Frank Miller's "Sin City" and, one by one, faced
down every evil Immortal from the Highlander series...That's Viscera's everyday
life.
"Viscera, Epic Frail" is the indie graphic novel from Nathan
Massengill, part of the team behind the graphic novels Deadpool Classics,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Batman: City of Crime. Viscera's
stark black and white art style marries the retro-punk wildness of "Tank
Girl" and "The Crow" with the symbolic paranormal
intensity of Mike Mignola's "Hellboy."
As the owner of the paranormal nightclub "RingRunners" and Ambassador
to the Post-Life Nation of Ghosts, Viscera stays busy. She doesn't need men or
sex. She doesn't want any trouble either, but trouble tracks her down. Viscera
is a fugitive. She fled from an ancient and secretive woman-hating subculture
ruled entirely by immortal men. These are ruthless and extremely powerful men,
hunters who will not tolerate her escape from their control. In the past, she
was content to run and hide, cowering at shadows and sounds in the night. But
that was before she became "Viscera." Viscera refuses to run. For
mysterious reasons known only to herself, Viscera makes a stand and a very
public statement. Wearing a provocatively sexy ensemble and running what might
be the wildest - and most frightening - nightclub on the planet (where humans
can "party" with the dead)...Viscera truly knows how to make a point.
She will fight - and kill - for the right to be her own person.
But when the legendary warrior-priest Theis arrives at RingRunners, he demands
she serve him or die. Will this epic showdown be the moment her luck finally
runs out?
VISCERA: EPIC FRAIL is a paranormal action thriller that, like its fierce
heroine, goes for the throat. A rebel with a dark cause, Viscera gives new
meaning to the term "bad girl."
Advance Praise
"Nathan
Massengill's Viscera is bold and without apologies. A refreshing, stylized
work of fiction that flips the 'bad girl' comics niche on it's
head."
- Everette Hartsoe, Creator/Publisher
of "Razor," a pioneer of the "bad girl" genre
"Viscera was a joy to read...It balances a minimalistic art style
that conveys an incredible amount of detail in each drawing. The self-contained
story shows Nathan is a master of the craft. I enjoyed it considerably. Highly
recommended."
- Gary Reed, Publisher of Caliber
Comics ("The Crow" and "Alan Moore's Songbook")
and author of the zombie masterpiece, "Deadworld"
"You may have had rough dates before, but nothing can prepare you for a
night with Nathan Massengill's Viscera. Hold on tight and pray you
survive the experience."
- Bobby Nash, author of "The Avenger"
and "Fight Card: Barefoot Bones"
