Dark Horse Comics' BANG! is Killing Its Own Creator (Yes, Really)

Every fan of action motion-picture show , tiptop - undercover agent stories , or sci - fi adventure has their favorite hero . But what if those fictional heroes get along to actualise they were exactly that ? It’sthe question at the heart ofBANG ! , the raw comical serial from Dark Horse Comics blur the line between realness and fabrication . With the debut way out now available to the creation , readers can see for themselves that , true to the name , the history startle with a execution . But its next target … is the writer himself .

AfterBANG ! # 1earned a 2d printing before the first issue had even released , it was evident that Matt Kindt ( MIND MGMT ) and Wilfredo Torres ( Jupiter ’s Circle ) had take up a chord with their audience . And rightly so , since theirhero spy Thomas Cord seemed to hit all the correct notesone would desire for in a James Bond/007 pilot . But with Kindt ’s track record of plot twirl and reality - bending stories , BANG!had to be more than mere court . Even a rail killer like Thomas Cord is slave to the tale he ’s star in . Well , technically , to the man writing it . So it should really come as no surprisal that in Screen Rant ’s single preview ofBANG ! # 2 , it is Matt Kindt who fall dupe to his own Creation . Best strap in , because it ’s only fit to get more judgment - bending from here .

The cross - media boundaries were dethaw from the very outset of the serial , withBANG ! # 1opening ona Sir Frederick Handley Page torn direct from a super - spy pulp magazine novel , chronicling Thomas Cord in his portmanteau of espionage and love story – before leaping into that very level , redeem by Torres , colorist Nayoung Kim , and letterer Nate Piekos of Blambot . The first issue concluded with Cord take his arcanum revealed , and being shown more fictional heroes – everyman hero John Shaw , the glorious Dr. Queen , and engineer Paige Turnier – that he will need to gather to keep start the world . As our prevue ofBANG ! # 2shows , the author of the serial publication wo n’t live to see it himself :
