Bounty hunters cursed in the Old West
There are some comic books you can just visualize on the big screen before they’re even published, or picked up by a Hollywood studio for that matter. Dead Irons is one of them.
This February, Dynamite Entertainment offers a gothic portrait of the Old West with this five-part series by writer James Kuhoric (Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash) and artist Jason Shawn Alexander (Abe Sapien). The Dark Tower‘s Jae Lee is on cover art duties.
Three bounty hunter siblings blaze a path of death and destruction across the old west. Traveling by moonlight they rip criminals screaming for mercy from their hiding places, but none is ever given. Each bounty is torn, broken, and bled dry before they are delivered dead and payment collected in gold  no silver. The Irons are the most feared bounty hunting killers in the west, but that fear isn’t based on them being the fastest with a pistol or rifle. It’s because they’re the walking dead.
A lone tortured soul tracks them with vengeance and salvation driving him to end the curse upon his family. Those who he rescues call him savior but those who look upon his twisted and scarred face call him monster. Silas Irons is the only hope his brothers and sister have of salvation from the abominations they’ve become. But even the purity of his heart can’t stop the unnatural rage and bloodlust building in his diseased soul.
A black curse turned these siblings into monsters but deep rooted and twisted family history made them into the worst kind of horrors. Dead Irons — 99 innocent souls — 6 undead monsters — 1 shot to save the world.
Dead Irons #1 will retail for $3.99.
