Dr Syn #1

SOME REBELLIONS NEVER DIE! Traitor. Rogue. Revenant. Rebel. He’s been known by many names . . . and now modern masters Michael E. Uslan (the blockbuster executive producer behind the multibillion dollar–grossing BATMAN feature film franchise—from Tim Burton’s BATMAN to Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT and beyond) and Steven S. DeKnight (showrunner of Netflix’s DAREDEVIL and Starz’s SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND) join riveting artist Sebastián Cabrol (EC’s CATACOMB OF TORMENT) to chronicle the fiery origin of the once-forgotten revolutionary who first watered liberty’s tree with the blood of tyrants! Once, the Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn waged a guerrilla insurgency across 18th-century England—justice for the cruel deaths of his family at the hands of King George III and the rest of England’s persecuted and oppressed. Hidden behind a terrifying mask to keep his true identity concealed, Syn’s rebellion soon became legend, inspiring copycat uprisings across the English countryside as the “Scarecrow of Romney Marsh” became a beacon of resistance against his nation’s mad monarch. But that’s where history’s chronicle of the Scarecrow’s reign is about to go violently, terribly wrong . . . Now Dr. Syn has been captured, tried, and condemned for his crimes. Forced into death by exile in the British Empire’s most inhospitable outpost—the American penal colony known as “Georgia”—Syn has found himself imprisoned alongside a hardscrabble crew of his king’s most notorious “undesirables.” With a mismatched team of allies fueled by the same burning vengeance for justice at his side, can England’s most dangerous revolutionary finally bring the empire down in an inferno of roaring flames . . . and could this backwater collection of pestilence-ridden colonies called America provide the spark? The year is 1775. And Dr. Syn’s war is about to begin. INGLORIOUS BASTARDS meets V FOR VENDETTA in a shocking twist of alternative history, as Uslan, DeKnight, and Cabrol resurrect an unrelenting freedom fighter for a new age!
