Red Thorn Vol. 2: Mad Gods and Scotsmen — David Baillie

After lying entombed in a subterranean prison for 2,000 years, the Celtic demigod known as Thorn has finally escaped-thanks to the power hidden in a determined young artist named Isla Mackintosh. Now the tremors from his supernatural jailbreak are shaking the British Isles from Glasgow to London-and breaking down the barriers between this world and the Otherworld beyond. Long-forgotten gods and monsters once more roam the land, wreaking havoc on everything they can sink their talons into-including a contentious general election featuring politicians even more two-faced than usual. But the forces that have invited Thorn�s wrath have plans of their own-subtle designs woven around Isla and her missing sister, whose murder 25 years ago set everything in motion. Will Thorn�s carefully plotted coup succeed against them? Or will Scotland and the rest of the mortal realm sink into a new dark (and bloody) age? Writer David Baillie and artist Meghan Hetrick bring their masterful modern fantasy to its transformative conclusion in RED THORN VOL. 2: MAD GODS AND SCOTSMEN, collecting issues #8-13 of the acclaimed Vertigo series and featuring a special sketchbook section from Hetrick.
