A virus has created a wilderness of blood-thirsty creatures standing between you and your family. You don't know if you can save them in time, or if you've even got the strength to try. But… you're about to find out. In a world of ravenous creatures it doesn't matter who you used to be. Today you're lunch! Alex Link has diverse areas of interest with a current primary focus on the analysis and history of comics and graphic novels. He has also co-authored several titles for Image Comics. Riley Rossmo is a Canadian comic book artist and illustrator, known for his work on various Image Comics titles. Rossmo is an instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Design. His first professional work was producing illustrations for publications such as Avenue, Calgary Inc., WestJet magazine and Scratch. His first comic book work was a collaboration with writer Alex Grecian on Seven Sons, a graphic novel based on a Chinese folk legend. In 2007, he started work on Proof, also with Alex Grecian. Later, he collaborated with writer A. J. Lieberman on Cowboy Ninja Viking (20082011). Rebel Blood is a horror comic about an infectious disease outbreak that affects both humans and animals. Published in 2012, this was the first comic that credited Rossmo as a writer. Co-written with Alex Link, the remote wilderness setting in the story was influenced by Rossmo's experiences canoeing at Waskesui. Rossmo has cited Bill Sienkiewicz's illustrations for The New Mutants comic books as a major early influence on his art style. Considering the overwhelming popularity of zombies due in large part to the successes of the Walking Dead comic and television series, it's difficult to revolutionize the zombie genre. Even with that in mind, that's what co-plotters Alex Link and Riley Rossmo have attempted to do with their creator-owned series, Rebel Blood. The series follows Chuck Neville, a former firefighter turned forest ranger who was let go after he was injured on the job. The book also features an as yet to be fully introduced supporting cast, notably including Chuck's wife and child in several flashback panels that double as nightmare scenarios. After experiencing a number of visions while at his post, Chuck is awakened by the sound of his radio and spies a rabid owl that had crashed into his tower's window. It's here where Rebel Blood hints towards the origin of the virus by insinuating it to be partially spread by wildlife, which goes far in offering a future resolution to the cause of the outbreak for readers. Link did a great job of establishing the context for Chuck's life in explaining how he came to arrive at the watchtower as a forest ranger. His life is recounted over three pages, dividing the reader's attention between a narrative conversation differentiated by two differently colored dialogue boxes to indicate a conversation between two people. As the reader follows this dialogue over the three pages, we gleam varying events from Chuck's life as they developed playing out in his head, including his accident, his being fired and his wife pushing him to take control of his life before ultimately leaving him. All of this builds towards the revelation that the opening pages occur as a recounting in Chuck's imagination as he has a conversation with a blond haired woman atop his tower as they share a coffee. It's a similar tactic used later in the issue after the owl crashes into his tower window. First Printing thus [Stated] [Originally published as four single issues].
