Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed these stories and you can't beat the price!

Though it's not truly canon, it's still a cool concept. Great read.

Loved seeing Batman take on an aliens version of the rogues gallery and electrocute that predator. Wildcats was fun too.

About the author

Edginton sees part of the key to his success coming from good relationships with artists, especially D'Israeli and Steve Yeowell as well as Steve Pugh and Mike Collins. He is best known for his steampunk/alternative history work (often with the artist D'Israeli) and is the co-creator of SCARLET TRACES, a sequel to their adaptation of H.G. Wells' THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. With 2000 A.D. he has written LEVIATHAN, STICKLEBACK and, with art by Steve Yeowell, THE RED SEAS, as well as one-off serials such as AMERICAN GOTHIC (2005). With D'Israeli he has created a number of new series including STICKLEBACK, a tale of a strange villain in an alternative Victorian London, and GOTHIC, which he describes as "Mary Shelley's Doc Savage." With Simon Davis he recently worked on a survival horror series, STONE ISLAND, and he has also produced a comic version of the computer game HELLGATE: LONDON with Steve Pugh. He is currently working on a dinosaurs and cowboys story called SIXGUN Logic and Vertigo's HINTERKIND.
