Après les séries The Boys et Red Team, le scénariste Garth Ennis lancera la mini-série A Train Called Love avec le dessinateur Mark Dos Santos (Imperial) au dessin et son ami Russ Braun aux couvertures.
Il s’agit d’une histoire d’amour musclée (pouvait-on en attendre autrement d’Ennis ?) où Valerie et Myles tentent de s’aimer en échappant à toutes les merdes qui leur tombent dessus (comme la famille, les gangsters, Mister Monsta, un lapin calinou, des allemands et, même, le KKK).
Tout un programme qui débutera en octobre.
[quote]Marcy can’t sing her own songs instead of the stupid list of covers they make her play, which is a damn shame because she’s quite a talent. Her best friend Penny’s loser boyfriend Marv has come up with a plan to get rich, but Penny just caught him doing something god-awful and his friends are all douchebags too – except maybe for Mike, but Mike’s just had a run-in with a certain hood-wearing organization with a lot of Ks in its name.
Penny’s sister Valerie has gone seeking vengeance for a mortal insult, which brings her face to face with handsome stranger Myles – who, sadly, has crazed German bastards Emil and Gustav Schmitt breathing down his neck. Mister Fluffy just wants a carrot. And waiting in the wings are Call-me-Dave, Huck Yeager, Beverly the horse-wanker and the not-very-nice Mister Monsta – the latter, bringing things full circle, is about to utterly ruin the lives of Marv and his goofs.

[quote] “Valerie is a complete lunatic with a somewhat tenuous grip on reality, who’s been secretly hoping that her humdrum life will someday turn into an action movie. So good news for Val,” said Ennis.
In pursuit of that revenge, Valerie meets Myles and two gangsters gunning for his life.
“Myles is a very nice chap on an extended vacation from England, whose appearance in Valerie’s life supplies the aforementioned action movie,” Ennis adds. “It really isn’t his fault, although I ought to say that his time in New York has involved a number of unfortunate contract killings.”[/quote]
