BOOM! Studios “Freelancers” has yet to see it’s first issue debut yet, but we hear some exciting things about it through the grapevine. Starring two girls who grew up in a Kung Fu Orphanage that have taken up the profession of bounty hunting, the book sounds like a bit of a mix of 70’s exploitation films geared to a modern and more aware audience, especially when you take into consideration the impromptu lampoon of DC’s controversial “Catwoman” #0 cover.
While the first issue will see it’s actual debut later this month, BOOM! has given us the opportunity to sufficiently whet your appetite with the covers to the conclusion of the first arc. Feast your eyes:
