Image Comics Unveils ‘The Snail’: Garth Ennis and John McCrea Team-Up for Mind-Bending Horror One-Shot
This November, Garth Ennis and John McCrea return for a disturbing, psychedelic one-shot comic The Snail at Image Comics. Here’s your first look.
Garth Ennis and John McCrea are one of the most prolific creative partnerships in modern comics, having worked together for over 35 years. Some of their most celebrated projects include Hitman, The Demon, and Spider-Man’s Tangled Web at Marvel Comics. Plus, of course, they’ve delivered numerous spinoffs within The Boys Universe. Up next is a psychedelic, mind-bending one-shot comic titled The Snail at Image Comics, which promises to be one of their most off-the-wall and disturbing collaborations yet.
The Snail is described as a tale full of lust, power, and possession. The plot itself remains largely under wraps, but the eclectic logline reads: “When you are offered your heart’s desire, what (and who) are you willing to sacrifice to achieve it? And should you really be making that deal with a… talking snail?”
“It might be said that a talking snail is not the best source of life guidance, but given the scum and villainy people are taking advice from nowadays, perhaps it’s no worse than any of the other options? Find out in The Snail, by myself and the good Mr. McCrea,” Ennis teased in a statement. “If I was a talking snail I’d definitely be telling you to buy it.”
“When Garth asks you to work on a horror title with him you have to be ready for some disturbing shit. I said yes and wasn’t ready,” McCrea added: “This is some disturbing shit.”
The Snail lands in comic stores and online on Wednesday, November 11.
