Falling In Love On The Path To Hell (2024)

Series Premiere. Gerry Duggan and Garry Brown present a massive Double-Length First Issue of their groundbreaking new series! The sun set on samurai and gunslingers at roughly the same time, but our two leads didn't die off quietly. In the East, Asami, an Onna-musha warrior and female samurai, would rather die with her weapons than surrender them to a sword hunt. In the West, the gunslinger MacRaith follows his revenge to the bitter end and pays the ultimate price.  The future lovers are mortally wounded a world apart and awake together in a purgatory ruled by a ruthless society of damned warriors. This one has it all-action, the dead, the dying, the undead, and of course... Romance.

It's not love at first sight for Asami and MacRaith. The samurai & gunslinger are surrounded by the spirits of the undead and trapped on a strange island with monsters. What is the dreaded corpse tide? Who is Mohan, the strong-armed leader of the army of the damned? Can they trust him? Will they escape? You're casually invited to your new favorite ongoing as love begins to blossom on the Beach of Bleached Bones. See you in hell!

The penultimate chapter of arc one brings tension, action, and the embers of romance are lit. MacRaith is a wounded soul from Bleeding Kansas, and he can't even get along with the other murderers and assassins in Purgatory. The cult ruling the island marks him for annihilation with a cruel and extremely violent attack, but luckily he's got an ace up his duster's sleeve: the folded steel blades of Lady Asami.

MacRaith is almost murdered in the depths of the island while Asami climbs the highest peak and is confronted by a ghost from her past. Each comes away with a key to escaping the island they're trapped on. Mohan tightens his grip on the cult of warriors, and our samurai and gunslinger experience the first sparks of love. See you back in hell this September!

New Story Arc. Your new favorite ongoing begins its second arc. The lovers have met, and the sparks of love are igniting. Asami & MacRaith are fighting their feelings for each other... they're also fighting the warrior cult they've spurned and some new hidden forest enemies. Plus, some looks backward at the choices they made in life that lead them to hell. This series is stabby, shooty, and horny, and you know you need it.

The love affair heats up as the samurai and the gunslinger spend their nights pressed together and their days avoiding the cult of warriors out to kill them. MacRaith gets another clue on how to activate the path off the island, and we introduce another tribe hiding deep in the mists. Falling in Love on the Path to Hell is stabby, shooty, and romantic... and it's your favorite damn comic.

Asami and MacRaith's exploration of the island doesn't go as planned when a terrifying new player emerges from the forest: this is the first appearance of the Butcher of Caledonia! He's into rough stuff. As if the lovers' lives weren't hard enough. Mohan and his cultists are still trying to kill them, and the sabotage that prevents any escape from the island must be dealt with if they have any hope of leaving purgatory. Happy holidays from hell!

The winds of war are blowing across the island—and they threaten to extinguish the romance between Asami and MacRaith. The Butcher of Caledonia has stormed into the lives of the lovers, and a secret has been revealed about Mohan. Hearts will be broken. Also, stabbed. And...shot. Fall in love with your new favorite ongoing.

Chapter 9 is all about our samurai as we flashback to her most dangerous day on Earth. Sins will be revealed, and the past will come back to haunt her. Ogata Asami cuts the life out of her opposition...unfortunately for her, these are warriors that will remember her face when they meet again in the war that's exploding in Purgatory. There will be blood. Not for the feint of heart. Blood!

The cataclysmic end to the second volume! It's an all-out war on the island! MacRaith has been captured, Mohan's fort has been sieged, and the fight to control the path off the island may send all the souls on the island to hell! While the living are fighting, the dead rush from hell. Who will live, who will die, and who will escape purgatory? Plus, Ogata Asami's past continues to bleed into the present.

The door to leave Purgatory is open, but the gunslinger isn't stepping through without the samurai and that's a problem because she's captured, wounded and at death's door. What bargain will MacRaith be willing to make with the devil to save the woman he loves? Asami makes a shocking discovery that the life growing inside her has upset the natural order in the Land of The Dead she's trapped in. This one has it all: action, romance, heartbreak and all stunningly drawn by GARRY BROWN.
