With issue #3 out last week, Image Comics has provided Newsarama with the full first issue of Simon Spurrier and Frazer Irving’s Gutsville #1, perhaps one of the best-titled –in the most descriptive, literal sense – comics in many, many years.

Story: Simon Spurrier
Art & cover Frazer Irving
32pgs, FC $2.99
GUTSVILLE is a town living in the belly of the beast, literally. 150 years after the ocean liner HMS Daphne was swallowed at sea, its passengers’ descendents cling to life in Gutsville. All is not well among the slippery streets… As revolutionaries, sadistic priests and frothing psychos clash in the psychedelic innards of an impossible creature, it’s left to one scared RatCatcher to consider escape… RETAILER WARNING: MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES
Gutsville really IS awesome. Awesome from the first page . The story is original and the art is outstandind and inspired. I can hardly wait for the next three issues.

Great series. Just wish it hadn't veered off schedule so terribly. Hopefully, people will hang around. This comic is completely different than anything else out there.
