“Great art, great characterization and a unique enough twist
on the millennia-old notion of a character who can seemingly perform miracles.” —Comic Book Resources

SAVIOR by Todd McFarlane—one of the biggest names in comics—teams up with co-writer Brian Holguin (SPAWN, Mr. Majestic) and artist Clayton Crain (X-Force) for the new series SAVIOR, which launched to critical acclaim and fan enthusiasm. Comic Book Resources said of the new series, “McFarlane and Holguin introduce an intriguing central character as well as some interesting supporting ones.” This series is sure to be a new favorite for McFarlane fans and new readers alike.
In
SAVIOR, a tragic airplane crash has killed hundreds. Why? And because
of the massive catastrophe, a small town braces itself for the onslaught
of news media invading their city. But the biggest mystery may be the
man who randomly walked out of the corn fields following the crash. Who
is he? Where did he come from? And why can’t he remember if he was a
passenger on that fatal plane? But this much is clear—this individual
possesses certain powers, abilities that harken from the Old
Testament... Could he possibly be this corrupted world's SAVIOR in the
flesh? Or will he be the world's undoing?
Praise for SAVIOR:
“Clayton Crain absolutely nails the ending of Savior #1
with a scene that made me feel like I was there. It's a powerful finale
that shows just how the savior comes to be, while at the same time
leaves unanswered questions in the minds of the reader. Savior left me
guessing and it's supposed to.” —Comic Spectrum
“The
art is pretty great. Did I mention that this is a gorgeous book?There
are two things that really sell this story… The first is clearly the
art, which should be easily discernible the second you open the book.
The second part is that this is a story McFarlane and Holguin appear to
be crafting carefully, which is something I can appreciate.” —Rhymes with Geek
“Everything
just came together for this first issue. We get bits and pieces but
nothing is forgotten. Savior has some great art and with some great plot
building. I think Savior is here to stay and can't wait for you guys to
pick it up.” —Comic Bastards
SAVIOR #2 hits shelves on May 13 and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code MAR150592.
