The Anchor #1 (Series Debut)

"One thousand years ago a hulking outcast sought refuge in the crumbling ruins of an ancient monastery and offered in return the one thing he had to give - his fists. Transformed into an immortal warrior monk standing at the gates of Hell itself to keep our world free from its invading armies, The Anchor is mysteriously tricked into centuries of slumber. But today, this holy warrior rises to battle all the unholy monsters unleashed during his slumber." So goes part of the solicitation for this new series debut from BOOM! Studios and what a debut it is--all at once fresh, unique, original and gripping, the tandem of writer Phil Hester and artist Brian Churilla bring to life a marvelous tale that immediately takes its place at the forefront of BOOM! Studios' title lineup.
