BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS #2 (OF 5)
Description
BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS #2 (OF 5) ramps up the wild fusion of high fantasy and grindhouse mayhem. The Barbarian is breaking free from behind bars, but a squad of taser-wielding prison guards stands in the way, turning every escape attempt into a hornet’s nest of danger and dark humor. A solitary confinement cell becomes a doorway for a mystic visitation from a goddess of cosmic justice, hinting at powers beyond the prison walls. Meanwhile, Irene Chang, the public defender, edges too close to her client’s possessed, blood-thirsty battleaxe, raising the personal stakes in this surreal courtroom-brawl. Written by Elliott Kalan with art by Andrea Mutti and a cover by Francesco Thomaselli, this issue delivers blistering action, sharp dialogue, and vivid, larger-than-life imagery. BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS is the high-fantasy grindhouse you’ve been craving, marching toward its five-issue finale with energy and imagination.
