RELOAD/MEK
TRADE PAPERBACK
Two
tales from master storyteller Warren Ellis in one great volume: an espionage
thriller that pushes action to its ultimate limits and a tale of revenge
set in a not-too-distant future in which robotic enhancements have become
the latest rage! The RELOAD/MEK trade paperback is wholly
unique, printed in a flipbook format with each story featuring a separate
cover.
Paul
Gulacy (CATWOMAN) & Jimmy Palmiotti (CATWOMAN, TWO-STEP) provide art
for RELOAD, the story of Secret Service Agent Chris Royal. He thought
the worst part of his day was going to be resisting the urge to smoke
a cigarette, but before lunch, the President of the United States will
be dead and Washington will be under siege…by a single woman! As thefourthrail.com
says “RELOAD is important. You should read it.”
On
the flip-side, Ellis is joined by artists Steve Rolston (Queen and
Country, Pounded) & Al Gordon (TOM STRONG) for MEK,
a tale of cultural decay and murder. Sarissa Leon, one of the progenitors
of mek culture, has returned home to find her city overrun with technological
marvels — her “cyborg” children. But her return isn’t for nostalgia —
she’s in town to investigate the murder of her former lover RJ Coin…an
investigation that will lead her down a road she could never have predicted!
