War Angels Volume 1

War Angels Volume 1

Salvation can be Hell...

It's the year 2504. In the aftermath of an apocalyptic war, the surviving humans are ruled by the Beasterians, animal-human hybrids created to be the ultimate soldiers, but who instead became merciless tyrants. Doomed to extinction, humanity's future rests with the savior whose birth is foretold by the Post-Testament Bible.

From the creative mind of famed artist Jae-Hwan Kim ("King of Hell" and "Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy") comes the story of the War Angels: the super-powered warriors who fight to protect humanity's last hope!

Stunning! Gorgeous! Awe-Inspiring! Whenever I show Jae-Hwan Kim's work to people, these words inevitably follow. And for good reason: his work is all that and more. Anyone who has seen his work in Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy knows that Jae-Hwan's work is a visual treat that is not to be missed. His storytelling is both clear and exciting. His characters are unique and attractive. His backgrounds set the scene so well that you can't help but feel like you're right there with the characters. And he's a real pro, to boot. (I guess he's got so much talent that it doesn't leave any room for attitude.) And that's just the art.

In War Angels, Jae-Hwan brings us a chilling tale with a strangely intriguing post-apocalyptic version of Christianity. Due to the passage of time (and more than a few mushroom clouds), the religion we know gets twisted...but not unrecognizably so. And, of course, Jae-Hwan doesn't disappoint when it comes to action. If I sound like I'm gushing, it's only because I'm not just the editor—I'm also a fan! So stop reading my shameless geek-fest and get to the good stuff already!

Jae-Hwan Kim
Jae-Hwan Kim was born in 1971. He has lived and worked in both Korea and Thailand. He started his career in 1990 as assistant to Il-Soo Son for one year. His works in Korea include:

Ducal, serialized in IQ Jump magazine in 1993
Rainbow, published in Korea as four volumes 1994-1995 and licensed to France and Thailand
Green Streetcar Ha-Me-Soo, an animated 26-part series about saving the environment that ran on KBS in 1995
Combat Metal He-Mo-Soo, published in Korea as four volumes 1997-1999 and serialized in CHANCE
Majeh, the original title of King Of Hell. It is serialized in "Comic Champ" magazine in Korea, and licensed in 20 different countries including the US, France, Germany, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Italy.

In the West, he's known for his work on King of Hell and Warcraft:The Sunwell Trilogy

For more details, here's an interview with Jae-Hwan by Chris Arrant that took place during Jae-Hwan's visit to San Diego Comic-Con in 2006.

Tyron
Most powerful of the 3rd Generation Beasterians.

Nikki Pedrian
Archangel. 21. Sniper. Female. Hot. Designated leader of the team. She specializes in weapons and bombs. She uses special weapons to defeat Beast Soldiers because they cannot be killed by ordinary rifles. She can assemble special weapons from parts she carries in her big bag. She is feminine, but cold and merciless in battle.

Mary
She is protected by angels and priests. Sometimes, she has visions of the future. She does not have a clue why she has been designated the new Virgin Mary or how she will become the Holy Mother.

Ross
Archangel. 17. Snobby. Stylish. Swordsman. He was raised by military people. He is able to turn anything into a weapon. He is very fast and has incredible reflexes.

Tae
Archangel. 17. Cynical. Defiant. Good at martial arts, especially the art of fist-fighting (like Buk-Doo-Shin-Gwan). He was trained by Asian martial artists who utilize Chi. He is color blind, but he has keen senses of hearing and smell.

I hope this series is longer than three volumes. As to the release date of the next volume, it may be a series that's only released a chapter a month so it could be another six months before we see another volume. This also depends on if King of Hell is longer than 26 vols. of well. It's well worth the wait however :) Ross kind of reminds me of Cerberus in his human form from King of Hell XD
