Cover by Greg Horn - by Ritchie, Diggle, & Singh There is no one left alive who knows the secret of Brock's dark past. Now, as the Gamekeeper of a sprawling English country estate, he quietly tends to a world where natural law presides and mankind comes only if invited. But when armed killers invade his sanctuary in search of the truth, they get more than they bargained for - and Brock finds himself forced to hunt a prey more cunning and lethal than anything in the wild. Don't miss the inaugural issue from maverick director Guy Ritchie (Lock Stock..., Snatch), acclaimed writer Andy Diggle (The Losers) and rising-star artist Mukesh Singh (Devi). NOTE: Aaron Settle, Lone Star Comics Regional Manager - "I've been pleasantly surprised by many of the offerings from Virgin Comics thus far. The week sees my favorite Virgin Comics issue thus far with the release of Guy Ritchie's The Game Keeper. Much like John Woo's Seven Brothers, Ritchie came up with the concept for the book before handing it off to Andy Diggle who has taken the concept and run with it. The Game Keeper takes place on an isolated estate. A wealthy man and his trophy wife live on the estate with their Game Keeper, a very quiet man with a dark past, and a host of troubled young men who have been given a second chance. From the start it is clear that there is more to both the Game Keeper and the lord of the manor than is revealed, including a dark secret that someone is willing to kill for. When the estate is invaded by hostile forces with a tie to the past, the Game Keeper is forced to resort to his old ways. The first issue reads like a great setup for an action movie, I hope the following issues live up to the promise of this one."
