SLASH & BURN #1

(W) Si Spencer (A) Max Dunbar, Ande Parks (CA) Tula Lotay

Another day, another hot date. Firefighter Rosheen Hayes takes her relationships with conflagration seriously, whether it's the trigger-happy burn victim with his sights on her partner or a chance encounter igniting memories of arson at the orphanage. But is she the super-sleuth fire-whisperer or twisted firestarter?

This new ongoing series from writer Si Spencer has all the mystery and intrigue of his hit Vertigo miniseries BODIES, with art by Max Dunbar (Dungeons & Dragons) and veteran inker Ande Parks (The Irredeemable Ant-Man), SLASH & BURN is a tricky thriller that explores both the excitement and the consequences of succumbing to one's darkest impulses.

It says "ongoing" but I don't see how it can go more than 8 issues.

Reminds me vaguely of Backdraft.

Its vertigo might end up with 13 issues.

Are you saying that you don't think this concept has enough to it to go on for very long, or just that you think it'll be cancelled due to low sales very quickly?

Looks good. Later on, it will get slashed and burned.
