Plot
A year ago Image comics published the first issue of a book that seemed to be just another damn dark vigilante comic. But slowly Violent Messiahs revealed it's true nature. Image had unleashed nothing short of a genre bending theological sci-fi mystery love story about criminal politics, man's search for individuality and the nature of violence. Now, to celebrate the ending of the first story arc, we are proud to present VIOLENT MESSIAHS: IN THE BEGINNING. 56 pages combining the original B&W VM, and the VM WIZARD 1/2 with pages of hard to find material including: * Wizard 1/2 reprinted using Tone Rodriguez's gorgeous pencils, uninked, and uncolored! (One of Wizard's most successful *s ever!) * The original, hard to find, Black and White Hurricane comic "VIOLENT MESSIAHS", published in '97 and pencilled by co- creator William O'Neill! * Pages from William O'Neill's unpublished 2nd issue! * The original '97 Dave Johnson cover, recolored by Travis Smith! (both nominees for this year's Wizard Awards) * A joint piece by Tone and William (donated to ACTOR for auction)! * And a plethora of other never before published pin-ups and sketches!
