SIDESHOWS GN - (W) Erik Hendrix (A) Michael
David Nelsen. In 1950's Las Vegas, the mob enlisted former
circus attractions as their aces in the hole. These SideShows had a little
secret... they really did have the abilities they pretended to. The Rat Pack
was in their prime, the bartenders knew your name, and the same guy who
comped your rooms could put a hit on you for stiffing him a tip. High
rollers, lounge singers, cigarettes, alcohol, and superpowers. Welcome to Las Vegas. Slade, Elza, and the other SideShows are
under the thumb of "Slick" Mick Carpoli. When the power hungry mob boss sends
his enforcers to reign in a growing menace in Las Vegas, little does he know he's
unleashing a threat with ties to the SideShows
past.
QUOTES/REVIEWS:
"Dark, disturbing, envelope-pushing stuff.
Bring your brain and pay attention. The ride is worth it." – Jim Shooter
(MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER, DOCTOR SOLAR)
"A cool story, told with loads of
pace and verve." – Mike Carey (UNWRITTEN, X-MEN LEGACY)
"Energetic,
dynamic art and a great story. I enjoyed this thoroughly, and you will, too."
– Mark Waid (DAREDEVIL, IRREDEEMABLE)
"Vegas gangsters, circus freaks,
magic, guns and violence – all served up in a blaze of glory that burns
across the page." – J.T. Krul (GREEN ARROW, TEEN TITANS)
"The
gorgeous, almost impressionist, art contrasted with the darkness of the seedy
underbelly of Vegas plot makes for a gripping story. The addition of
supernatural powers is icing on the cake." – Jim Hardison (Dark Horse's THE
HELM)
"Visually Stunning with a dynamic story that pulls you in and
doesn't let go. Erik Hendrix and Michael David Nelsen have made one hell of a
book." – Michael Easton (SOUL STEALER, Vertigo's GREEN
WOMAN)
"Atmospheric and richly textured, like a circus-fueled pulp novel
played out across the page. SideShows gives greed, gangsters and gambling a
fresh spin." – Jim Zub (SKULLKICKERS, STREET FIGHTER LEGENDS)
