Legendary Comics has announced that they will be continuing the monster-mashing adventures of John Tower in 2014 as a monthly series under the masterful pens of writer Matt Wagner (Grendel, Sandman Mystery Theatre) and artist Simon Bisley (Lobo, Melting Pot).
The series will continue the spook-slaying shenanigans of John Tower, a centuries-old supernatural bounty hunter who is on the hunt for a collection of mysterious artifacts. Attempting to stop him from achieving his goals are the Chateau Group, a corporation that holds a diabolical influence that extends to the world's leaders that seeks the same artifacts.
The one-two punch of Wagner and Bisley is especially exciting. Grendel is one of the greatest comic series of all time, and Bisley's art has graced everything from comics to Danzig album covers, so this is the sort of pairing that makes my nerd heart sing.

One would think that being at the top of your game in a profession for nearly 25 years would tend to slow a person down. That's not the case with Matt Wagner. The creator of Grendel and Mage sat down with Dread Central to discuss his newest series, The Tower Chronicles.
"The Tower Chronicles is the collective title of the first all-original offering from the newly formed Legendary Comics, which is the comic book division of Hollywood powerhouse, Legendary Pictures," Wagner said. "It'll ultimately be a trilogy with each book being about 280 pages of story art. Each of the books is serialized in four prestige format sized volumes that are each 68 pages. The first book in the trilogy is called GeistHawk and The Tower Chronicles follow the adventures of John Tower who is a supernatural bounty hunter. GeistHawk is the name of the website he uses to filter out potential clients.

In an age of Vampires and Zombies, heroes who roam the night protecting us from ghouls and goblins are as necessary as Batman and Superman.
The Tower Chronicles, from writer Matt Wagner (Mage, Grendel) and 2000 Ad artist Simon Bisley, hits comic racks this week from Legendary Comics. This supernatural action-adventure story introduces us to John Tower. Much like Blade, he focuses extra-normal villains. These aren’t super-powered villains, but rather those creatures you’d find in a Grimm fairytale, on HBO’s True Blood or on the CW’s Supernatural.
The first twelve pages focuses on one of Tower’s hunts. He’s chasing down a seemingly innocent woman as though he’s a robber – except this robber leaps over objects with the grace of an acrobat. He also carries around enough rope to tie up his prey or use the rope as Wonder Woman would use her lasso.
