Sinister Dexter creator and former Legion of Super-Heroes writer Dan Abnett is getting back to the future... but this time to a future, far beyond the 30th century. And much, meaner and nastier. Writing Warhammer 40,000 for Boom! Studios, based on the tabletop strategy adventure by Games Workshop!
Abnett will be returning to a property he knows well to introduce a whole new audience to the 40k universe. BOOM! Studios gives the breakdown on what to look forward to!
It all begins here! A violet, bloody intergalactic planet-spanning science fiction franchise comes to BOOM! Studios! They are the Black Templars –mankind's greatest hope fighting the ravening hordes of invading Necrons, battering back the enemy with power gauntlet, chain sword, and bolt rifle! Elite of the elite, they are The Chapter of the Eternal Crusade, dedicated to serving their Emperor for the glory of the Imperium! World-shaking space marines who cleanse entire planets of their enemies, they are the heart of Warhammer 40K -- from the Battle of Carrion Gulf all the way through the Torment Crusade. Centering on a new recruit to the Templars, to an advance warrior Sword Brethren, and all the way to an ancient man-machine Dreadnaught soldier, Warhammer 40K #1 serves as an accessible opening chapter introducing new and old readers alike to this bloody, dark, ravaged universe of science fiction and fantasy! Gods of War and Ancestors, bless us now, for we go to war...
