Blood and Trenches

Angel Blood and Trenches #1 at TFAW.com

In Europe, war ravages nations, but a greater darkness than human conflict calls Angel back across the ocean from his distant home in America-bodies of combatants found drained of blood, and signs of an ancient evil once more abroad in the world.

Writer/artist John Byrne tells an untold tale of Angel's WWI exploits.

Angel Blood and Trenches #2 at TFAW.com

Alone behind enemy lines, hunted by both sides, Angel discovers his worst suspicions are true when he learns of the dark forces massing in the Kaiser's troops-forces with an agenda all their own.

Has anyone read this comic yet? I highly recommend it. I know the canon issue is kinda murky but the story is very good and the art is excellent - Angel's likeness is spot-on-perfect and its all penciled with no colour except for red any time blood appears. It leaves the dreadful art/storytelling of 'Aftermath' in the shade.

Very cool. John Byrne is fantastic. Comic's legend. Looking forward to this. 🙂

My close friends at TFAW assure me that my copy is on the way to me even as we speak.

Has anybody else read it and loved it too? Am I really missing out on something?

man...

all these different titles for the different arcs are getting me confused haha.

How many blood and trenches issues will there be? and do any of you guys know if it will be collected in a TPB or HC copy?

I liked it, I'll have to read it again. But it was different from any other Angel comic I've read.
