pin-point accuracy. This is not just magic — this is Combat Magic, wielded by
Sergeant Major William Gravel, Warren Ellis' cult-hit sensation from the pages
of Strange Kiss and Strange Killings, now in his own, ongoing, full-color

place in the mysterious enclave of Britain's seven Occult Detectives. Worse, the
seven are now in possession of the legendary Sigsand Manuscript, a supernatural
device that could bestow its keepers with a most vile and terrifying power.
