Ballistic

By: Mortimer, Adam Egypt

Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan, The Boys) and Adam Egypt Mortimer's madcap, psychedelic, transreal, utterly-wacko buddy adventure about Butch and his best friend Gun, a drug-addicted, genetically-modified, foul-mouthed firearm, as they attempt to elevate Butch from air conditioner repairman to master criminal in the twisted, eco-apocalyptic Repo City State, a reclaimed trash island built from DNA-based, living technology with bad attitudes.

Ballistic marks Darick Robertson's return to the hard sci-fi worldbuilding of his classic Transmetropolitan, but mixed with The Boys' ultra-violence and the lunacy of Happy. Mortimer's mix of speculative science, pulpy noire, and drug-addled adventure cooks up a strange brew of Lethal Weapon by way of Cronenberg meets Dr. Who if written by Odd Future.

"This is some balls-out, gonzo worldbuilding and storytelling. Mortimer has laid out a crazy tangled yarn and Robertson is drawing his ass off. Holy hell, this book is a trip, to say the least." -Tony Moore (artist/co-creator The Walking Dead, Fear Agent)

Foreword by Grant Morrison, who called it "My favorite comic of the year."
