War Angel

War Angel is a one-issue comic from Avatar Press, launched in 2007, that reimagines the classic pulp hero as a brutal, politically charged warrior in a dystopian future. Written and illustrated by creator Kevin Eastman, it strips the character down to a visceral, post-apocalyptic premise—an angelic avenger wielding divine fury against a corrupt, militarized world. While brief, this single issue stands as a stark, self-contained statement within Eastman’s body of work, offering a grim, no-frills take on the vigilante archetype.
