FORTIER & DAVIS' THE BOSTON BOMBERS #2: THE ALTERNATE-HISTORY SAGA CONTINUES

 

Writer Ron Fortier and artist Rob Davis continue their inventive, Boston Bombers saga in Issue #2, from Redbud Studio. 

This release is, in fact, a revival of a popular title that Fortier conceived many years ago, of which the late Harlan Ellison was a fan. The adventure depicts a group of female, secret agents for the Catholic Church, working in cahoots with the League of Nations, a world power in Fortier's parallel scheme.   

To add to The Boston Bombers' unique flavor, its foundation depicts Christ having manifested as a female, who's accepted by the Jews as their unequivocal Messiah. In addition, WWII never occurred, and the Roman Empire has continued its governing influence over the centuries. 

For the second, Boston Bombers installment, readers are treated to a magical prelude on the first (alternate) Christmas, and then are flash-forwarded to the Bombers preparing to commemorate the big holiday, as aviatrix Indra Divine is summoned to Boston to visit her mother for a briefing on the recent, New Delphi coup. (This meeting further reveals a startling secret, which was forged with Indra's mother by the discerning Cardinal Mutongo.) Meanwhile, in regal Roman South Africa, the treacherous Senator Rufus Iturius encounters the lethal Pavol Lavoca, who holds information on the "missing" Princess Augusta Kumana and with such, a strong-arming proposal. 

The gripping segments are specialized and contrasting, but together they blend in a manner that's seamless and exciting in the best, Bondian fashion. Fortier's storytelling, in this respect, is as crisp and profound as ever, and Davis' artwork is nothing short of exquisite. 

Don't miss out on this awe-inspiring, alternate-history epic. Order at

FORTIER, POLACEK & DAVIS: BULLETS OF JADE, A BROTHER BONES GRAPHIC NOVEL

Ron Fortier's grim brainchild, Brother Bones, the Undead Avenger, haunts Cape Noire yet again in a startling, 48-page, graphic novel, Bullets of Jade, from Red Bud Studio and Airship 27 Productions (available through Indy Planet). 

Fortier's fable centers on an assassin named Leo Sinj, who kills a Chinatown kingpin with a jade bullet, the sort that proves fatal to both mortal flesh and the ethereal. As the diligent Detective Sutter investigates, assassinations mount, bringing the grisly conundrum to Brother Bones' attention and a risky showdown that could mark his end.  

Bullets of Jade holds the zest of an intricate storyboard and as such, plays like a streamlined movie, thanks to Fortier's absorbing storytelling, John Polacek's evocative, black-and-white artwork and Rob Davis' pleasing lettering. 

Without question, Bullets of Jade is a pulpy, pensive delight that not only Brother Bones fans will enjoy, but anyone with a penchant for supreme, supernatural suspense.
