Echolands, Volume 1 - Hardcover

"Magic and crackle. I can't wait to see where he [J.H. Williams III] and Haden Blackman are taking us--into a world in which anything can happen, and undoubtedly will." --NEIL GAIMAN

The story of Earth's last war starts with Hope's sticky fingers...

The multiple award-winning Batwoman team, J. H. WILLIAMS III (Promethea, The Sandman: Overture, Batman) and W. HADEN BLACKMAN (Star Wars, Elektra), reunites for an all-new ongoing series! They're joined once again by colorist supreme DAVE STEWART and master letterer TODD KLEIN.

In a bizarre future world that has forgotten its history, a reckless thief, Hope Redhood, holds the key to excavating its dark, strange past--if only she and her crew can escape a tyrannical wizard and his unstoppable daughter. But fate will send them all on a path leading to a war between worlds.

ECHOLANDS is a landscape format, mythic-fiction epic where anything is possible--a fast-paced genre mashup adventure that combines everything from horror movie vampires to classic mobsters and cyborg elves, to Roman demigods and retro rocket ships. It's going to be a helluva ride!

Early praise for ECHOLANDS:

"It's every fictional world, each with its own artistic style, intersecting and exploding with JHW3 magic and crackle. I can't wait to see where he and Haden Blackman are taking us--into a world in which anything can happen, and undoubtedly will." --Neil Gaiman

"So complex and unique and expertly executed it pushes the medium forward in new directions and leads to invigorated interest in the medium of comics itself." --Robert Kirkman

"A dazzling, kinetic ride through an exquisitely realized fantasy world, bursting with graphic energy and excitement." --Dave Gibbons

"Echolands' fallen fantasy San Francisco is painted as a monstrous blend of magic and technology, and reads like a blockbuster car chase." --Kyle Shutt (The Sword)

"Getting an eyeful is a massive understatement. I love looking at the drawings as they expand with more details emerging every time I look." --Debbie Harry (Blondie, Face It: A Memoir)
