Produktbeschreibung
This morning Detective John Tallow was bored with his job.
Then there was this naked guy with a shotgun, and his partner getting killed, and now Tallow has a real problem: an apartment full of guns. Old guns. Modified guns. Arranged in rows and spirals on the floor and walls. Hundreds of them.
Each weapon is tied to a single unsolved murder. Which means Tallow has uncovered two decades' worth of homicides that no one knew to connect and a killer unlike anything that came before.
Tallow's bosses don't want him to solve the case. The murderer just wants him to die. But there's a pattern hiding behind the deaths, and if Tallow can figure it out he might even make it out alive.
Autorenporträt
Warren Ellis (geb. 1968) zählt zu den renommiertesten Comic-Autoren der Gegenwart. Der Brite begann seine Karriere 1990 in englischen Magazinen, bevor er 1994 erstmals für den US-Verlag Marvel arbeitete, u. a. an den Reihen Hellstorm, Marvel 2099 und Thor. Für Aufmerksamkeit sorgten jedoch vor allem die Reihen, die bald darauf für DC Comics entstanden, nämlich Stormwatch, The Authority und vor allem Transmetropolitan. In der Folge wurde Ellis zu einem der wenigen Star-Autoren des Mediums, dessen Name zum Synonym für hochklassige, intelligente Science-Fiction-Comics wurde. Global Frequency und Planetary untermauerten seinen Status nachhaltig.
