There is a new vigilante in Florespark, and he is here to clean up the mean streets and take out the trash in the most permanent of ways. Two of the most beloved street-level heroes of all time are, of course, Batman and the Punisher. The legendary Chuck Dixon wrote some of the most influential stories for both. It only makes sense that Chuck would bring his touch to a new breed of hero who, while inspired by many others, is very much his own man and a totally unique character with an extremely specific skill set.
What kind of skills? Well, no spoilers, but fighting for our freedoms is nothing new for Horse. And what is with that name? Does he like horses? Or is he a harbinger of the coming Apocalypse? Could it be both? One thing is for sure, Florespark, upon his arrival, is never going to be the same.
After the monumental release of their first collaboration, The ALPHACORE, Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett are at it again. Their first book with the Rippaverse was a massive success, and Chuck’s story pulled no punches. Joe Bennett draws the most epic panels, with splash pages that leave you both in awe and with a need to turn that page to devour what is coming next.
Joe continues to deliver the goods with his best work yet (if you can believe it!), bringing to life a whole new rogue’s gallery of unsavory but unforgettable characters to populate The Horseman’s world for our main man to absolutely tear through.
In Alphacore’s first solo book, Chuck Dixon tore out our hearts and showed us how hard it is to protect a city overrun with Excepts. This time around, the stakes are higher, and The Horseman is ready for the fight of his life.
Just one thing… The Horseman is not an Except. However, that does not mean he is likely to back down. Quite the contrary, our newest hero to hit the streets never backs down from a challenge, and he is a master of both strategy and combat. He is a survivor, and he has been to hell and back. He is a warrior who has been forged in fire and lost a lot along the way.
The Horseman fights on the side of angels, but he plays by his own rules. He may not have superpowers, but this man is super powerful. The Horseman is a one-man army. He is an unstoppable force of justice. He is judge, jury, and executioner. He brings with him an arsenal of weaponry and always finds the right tool to get the job done.
When events unfold that upend The Horseman’s everyday life, he is forced on the run to protect those he cares about most, bringing him to Florespark, a city full of moving targets. It is not easy being the new man in town, but Horse wastes no time getting to work, doing what he was made to do. Going in guns blazing sends the right message but attracts all the wrong kinds of attention quickly landing our leading man into the fight of his life… the fight for his life.
Like Mike Baron’s epic GOODYNG, The Horseman will not be released as a campaign and will be immediately available for purchase when it drops. Clench your thirst for a badass who plays by his own rules this summer, courtesy of industry titans Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett. You might think you’re ready, but you ain’t seen nothing yet…
