So who are these guys anyways?


They may not look like much right now but the two characters to the left will eventually make their way into the pages of The Last Paladin. Both designed by Mahmud Asrar after a few emails of picking my brain.

The gentleman to the right is called The Hex and he's something of a supernatural bounty hunter that criss-crosses the United States. He started life in his own origin script a few years ago but after several failed attempts to bring him to life by a few different artists, he landed in the limbo that is my notebook drawer until I started plotting future chapters of The Last Paladin. Everything seemed to fall right into place from there and I thought he may be the perfect fit for a tale or two.

So what sets The Hex apart from all the other supernatural bounty hunters in all the other comics out there? Well, I have some ideas I hope readers will find interesting and latch onto as his story debuts and unfolds.

As for the lady to his left....... I won't say too much about her at this time. She will however play a big role in upcoming chapters of The Last Paladin.

Keep checking back for more details...

Pretty cool designs, Ian. The lady reminds me a bit of Magik from Marvel Comics lore with the half-armor/half-regular clothing duds. Looking forward to seeing more Paladiny goodness.

Thanks guys....

I loved Magik when I was a New Mutants fan and its funny how easily they can bring her back but for some reason haven't. Go figure.

She looks like that in this quick design for a reason though. Once she makes her full 1st appearance in the book she'll probably have a full costume, not the half-and-half.

If you guys want more Paladin the best way to get it is to keep posting here and beg Ed Dukeshire until he's so tired of all the crying he has to publish more.
