From the Press Release: "MAD MAX MEETS H.P. LOVECRAFT" IN THIS RELENTLESS, POST-APOCALYPTIC MONSTER HUNT FROM THE MINDS BEHIND UNDERWORLD, AVENGERS, AND VAMPIRELLA
Created by Dirk Blackman (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) and Shannon Eric Denton (Monster Forge, Spectors), with interior art by Kewber Baal (Vampirella, Thundarr The Barbarian), SAVAGER has earned acclaim for its brutal fusion of post-apocalyptic action and cosmic horror. Set in a devastated future Earth overrun by monstrous parasitic entities, the series follows Riley Philips — known as “The Savager” — as he fights to protect what remains of humanity.
“The scope of SAVAGER keeps growing with every chapter, and these next two issues raise the stakes in every possible way,” say writers Shannon Eric Denton and Dirk Blackman in a joint statement. “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created and can’t wait for readers to dive back into this world.”
“SAVAGER is one of PANICK’s foundational titles and we are incredibly proud of the series,” added PANICK Publisher Kris Longo. “It’s brutal, emotional, unpredictable, and visually unlike anything else on the shelves right now. Taking a little extra time to make sure these issues hit at the highest possible level with the best possible cover artists was absolutely the right call, and the fans are going to see that immediately when these books arrive.”
Adding to the excitement, SAVAGER #3 will feature a cover by acclaimed horror artist Kyle Hotz (Absolute Carnage, Legacy of Vader, Redcoat), while SAVAGER #4 will showcase a cover by celebrated illustrator E.J. Su (Blood & Thunder, Godzilla, Invincible: Tech Jacket).
The upcoming issues push Riley deeper into a collapsing world consumed by cosmic infestation, escalating both the action and psychological horror as humanity’s survival hangs by a thread.
