The Civil War claimed many lives…but one of those lives still hasn't ended!
Union doctor Robert Dickering found himself on the wrong side of the battle lines, and despite his heroic treatment of a fallen enemy soldier, he also found himself on the wrong end of a noose! But a shadowy power stepped forth in the twilit moments between life and death and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse: to forever roam the Earth, saving the lives of innocents condemned like himself - or hastening the deaths of the guilty! But in taking the seemingly righteous mission of the Hangman, has he accepted God's work? Or has he become the vengeful fist of the Devil himself? Featuring art by Tom Derenick and Bill Sienkiewicz, the acclaimed team behind REIGN IN HELL! On sale August 5 • 32 pg, one shot, FC, $2.99 US

The mysterious stranger was brought into the hospital with one name on his lips: 'Frank Verrano.' He has no memory of who he was, where he came from, or how he could possibly be the only survivor of a bombing attack on a cruise liner that killed hundreds of people. But as deep as that mystery runs, a violent attack on the hospital opens a deeper one. How can this man burst into flames…and survive? And why does the man who stands in those flames, the man know as the Inferno, look nothing like the one who stood in his place just seconds before? Blaze into this thrilling issue featuring art by Greg Scott (GOTHAM CENTRAL)! On sale August 12 • 32 pg, one shot, FC, $2.99 US
We continue our conversations today with the creators who will be working on the Red Circle characters later this year in DC Comics’ revival. We’ve spoken with The Web penciler Roger Robinson earlier, and today, we speak with his acclaimed inker, Hilary Barta.
As we’ve reported since last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the Red Circle heroes are coming to the DC Universe.
The Web, The Shield, Hangman and Inferno will star in four one-shots in August, written by J. Michael Straczynski which will introduce the characters, and then in September, two ongoing series will launch: The Shield (with Inferno as a co-feature) and The Web (with Hangman as a co-feature).
Here at Newsarama, we’re talking to the creative teams on the titles, and today, we move to the penciler of Hangman, Tom Derenick.
