FERRYMAN #1 (of 5) - Marc Andreyko; Art Jonathan Wayshak - WILDSTORM COMICS
Joel Silver, the Hollywood producer that has produced movies such as; Lethal Weapon, The Matrix & V for Vendetta comes to comics. His part-owned company with Robert Zemeckis, and Gilbert Adler - Dark Castle Entertainment in association with Wildstorm comics has produced Ferryman, a horror/crime themed comic.
“The Ferryman” is about a cop who dies in the line of duty and becomes a Ferryman in order to see his wife again.
Who are The Ferrymen? If you mix the deadliest qualities of Blackwater operatives, skip tracers and expert trackers, you might have an idea. And Gideon Thorne is the best Ferryman out there. In the exclusive employ of the sinister entrepreneur Mr. Webster, Gideon always gets his man, no matter the obstacle. Don't miss out on the start of this explosive miniseries from the mind of legendary movie producer Joel Silver, written by Marc Andreyko (MANHUNTER) with art by rising star Jonathan Wayshak!
