Warren Ellis Blackgas #1
Warren Ellis’ *Blackgas* #1 (2006) kicks off with a hauntingly quiet island, isolated by a forgotten fault line and a history no one remembers—until a storm cracks open the earth, unleashing something ancient and vile. Trapped on a desolate black rock with the island’s now-unhinged residents, two survivors face a horror that began with a single, guttural scream. Warren Ellis writes, Max Fiumara draws, and Jacen Burrows’ cover captures the dread with stark, unsettling precision.

A tiny little island off the East Coast of America, that sits on its own tiny little fault in the underlying tectonic plate. An odd little history ignored by almost everyone. Until the night of the big storm, and the creak in the fault line, and the release of something foul from the earth's guts, blown across the little town on Smoky Island. And the only two people on the island who were outside its reach are now trapped on a black spit of rock with a population who aren't people anymore. They started eating each other an hour ago.
