About the series
Mike Grell both writes and illustrates this 2005–2006 IDW miniseries, a taut six-issue arc starring his signature creation, Jon Sable. The former big-game hunter turned mercenary is drawn back into a deadly game when a past mission’s loose end comes roaring into the present. Grell’s gritty, detailed artwork and lean, hardboiled storytelling make this a sharp, self-contained chapter in Sable’s long-running saga. It’s a fine example of the creator-owned action comics that defined Grell’s post-mainstream career.
