Next Wednesday February 11, AHOY Comics will publish BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH #2, the second issue of the violently funny sword-and-sorcery epic from Garth Ennis—the award-winning writer of Hitman, The Punisher, Sara and Marjorie Finnegan, Temporal Criminal, and co-creator of The Boys and Preacher—and acclaimed artist and frequent collaborator Jacen Burrows (Crossed, The Ribbon Queen). After making waves last year with BABS—the fantasy adventure romp featuring the sharp-tongued and sharper-sworded barbarian Babs—Ennis, Burrows, and Syracuse-based publisher AHOY Comics are back for more carnage and comedy in BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH. The six-issue action comedy mini-series will find Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy in a brand-new adventure after a win in a gladiator arena lands them an unexpected windfall—with even more unexpected consequences.

The sword-and-sorcery comedy by Ennis and Burrows (Crossed, Get Fury) continues!

Except Babs, once. But she doesn’t like to talk about it!
