Biting the dust a few days aside from retirement is a bit of an action movie cliche . But in the font of Heavy Metal ’s new scifi comic , the bare threat of it could have ramification for the entire beetleweed if Henry Waters , guardian of Earth , meets his final stage . This is The Doorman , and we ’ve got an exclusive spirit at the first outcome !
In the world of Eliot Rahal , Daniel Kibblesmith , and Kendall Goode ’s The Doorman , doors that opens to rifts connected across the universe are guarded by a union of porter do it as the Doormen , allow safe passage between worlds for those in indigence . But just as Henry Clay Waters serves his final day as the Doorman of Earth , he get hold himself the target of a series of space assassins , and an intergalatic copper look to forbid the murder of every Doorman in the world . There ’s fun ! dangerous undertaking ! Lasers plug giant holes into people ’s head ! release out , bear around looking after a doorway to the galaxy can be a reasonably life-threatening line of work .
Here ’s a look at the first few pages of The Doorman # 1 , as well as a couple of extra Thomas Nelson Page from later on the event , making their debut here on io9 .
That might just be the first time I ’ve ever seen the word “ SPLOOSH ! ” used as the strait of someone ’s head set off in a comic , and candidly , it ’s just the right commixture of gross and punch-drunk .
