Series: Barb Wire

Steel Harbor is the American dream turned nightmare. This once great city was a monument to American industry and ingenuity, but now it's a scrap heap of shuttered factories, decaying neighbourhoods, and wasted potential being carved up and fought over by superpowered street gangs. But where others see a warzone, Barb sees opportunity. When a bounty can punch through a wall, summon a tornado, or fly, they tend to have a big fat price on their head which is exactly what Barb needs if she's going to keep her money-pit hard rock bar from being shuttered. The trick is staying alive long enough collect. Barb Wire is a full-throttle romp of flying fists, leather jackets, heavy metal, bounty hunting, motor bikes, and super-powered bad attitudes as told by a gang of comic book's greatest storytellers including series-creator Chris Warner and rockstars John Arcudi, Adam Hughes, Patrick Oliffe, Paul Gulacy, Tim Bradstreet, Dan Lawliss, Mike Manley, Adam Warren, Dave Dorman, Mike Mignola, Andrew Robinson, and more!

Reviews for The Barb Wire Compendium

Praise for Barb Wire: ""The character development is enjoyable with some interesting setups such as the TV show, financial trouble with the club and a very fragile truce between rival gangs. None of the characters feel like archetypes thanks to Chris Warner's stellar writing, and Patrick Olliffe's wonderful artwork makes every action sequence electrifying. I can't wait to see what's next.""—Hulking Reviewer ""If you love overblown, loud, confident action stories then this is most definitely for you. 8.8/10""—We the Nerdy “Barb Wire #1 is a good, fun read.”—AIPT “Barb Wire, the baddest bounty hunter around, is back.”—Comic Book Resources “Barb Wire is bold and fast-paced.”—Comic Book Resources “Not a series you should sleep on.”—Geeked Out Nation
