Exclusive Preview: H.P. Lovecraft Joins The Rough Riders In Ride Or Die #2
03/08/2018 11:20 am EST
Something truly evil has to arise to draw the Rough Riders together once more, and unfortunately, that has finally happened.
That's why AfterShock Comics has assembled a group of historical legends like Theodore Roosevelt, Annie Oakley, Harry Houdini, Jack Johnson, and Thomas Edison once again in Rough Riders: Ride or Die #2, but they'll need to enlist even more help to stop a powerful ancient evil.
Well, who knows ancient evil better than H.P. Lovecraft? You're right, no one, and the Rough Riders will need to get him on their side if they hope to stem the tide.
Oh, and hopefully Oakley's got plenty of bullets because there's an army of zombies that sits between her and the exit. Oh yeah, and someone should probably help Johnson with that crazy lady trying to stab him, and it's doubtful it has anything to do with him not flushing the toilet.
So yeah, things are going swell so far.
