"..rocketing a pulp comic straight into the 21st century. For those looking for a complete story that will enthrall you’ll be hard pressed to find a better book than THE REVENANT and it is easily a 4-star book."
"Cinematic in its telling, the book is at its heart a gorefest...but with a whodunnit trail of clues it owes almost as much to Detective Comics and Dick Tracy as it does to Nightmare on Elm Street."
"THE REVENANT is a darkly humorous and thrilling tale that consistently keeps the reader laughing, guessing and horrified at nearly every turn. This books manages to blend the classic ghost-takes-revenge story idea, a whodunnit mystery and plenty of action sequences into a seamless, fast-paced and immensely enjoyable read."
"The book is a thrill ride… page to page action! The break-neck pacing is supported by some beautiful art that pops in all the right ways… from urban landscapes to decapitations, every page is on the money. This book is like 'The Sopranos' meets the 'X-files' with and integration of classic pulps that does nothing but enhance everything present. 'The Revenant' is a great mixture of genres and Mat Santolouco’s art is almost a genetic match for Rob Worley’s plot.
"Scarier than 'The Shadow' and more sadistic than 'The Spider', 'The Revenant' grabs the pulp genre by the neck, twists it till it cracks, and then drags it into the 21st century. With a mysterious hero, ultra-violent action, really bad bad guys and, of course, it's super sexy ladies, what more can you ask for in a comic?"
-- F.J. DeSanto, Co-Producer of WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT and TUROK: SON OF STONE
"In the spirit of the Shadow, and perhaps in the shadow of the Spirit, comes a new ghastly avenger... the Revenant. This book pays homage to the great vengeful heroes of the past, while creating a thoroughly engaging universe of terror. The Day of the Dead has arrived!"
--- Hans Rodionoff - Screenwriter of "LOST BOYS 2" and writer of Vertigo's "Mnemovore" and "Lovecraft"
About THE REVENANT
The bad men of Sapphire City have forgotten what it means to be afraid. They've risen to power by ruthlessly cutting down all who stand in their way. Now, one they've long thought dead and buried has returned, a ghoulish gunslinger with unfinished business. This is vengeance! This is fear!! This is THE REVENANT!!!
Written by Rob M. "One Man Mob" Worley from a story and concept by Shannon Eric "The Shiv" Denton and EISNER AWARD WINNER "Killer" Keith Giffen.
