God Country Vol. 1

Book excerpt: SOUTHERN BASTARDS meets American Gods in a high-stakes fantasy series that masterfully blends high-octane action and jaw-dropping worldbuilding. In GOD COUNTRY, readers meet Emmett Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia. Emmett isn't just a problem for his children„his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home„as well as the surrounding West Texas town„a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. An enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He's now the only man who can face these otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star Stateƒ In GOD COUNTRY, salvation is a double-edged sword. ñSo much fun to watch creators find that next level. Go, Cates, go!î„BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Collects GOD COUNTRY #1-6
