I was already looking forward to Turf<\/strong>, a four issue<\/strong> mini-series by writer, Jonathan Ross<\/strong> and artist, Tommy Lee Edwards<\/strong>, before I read this interview<\/strong><\/a> with them over at Newsarama<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 As you may recall<\/strong><\/a>, Turf<\/strong> is set in New York<\/strong> in 1929<\/strong> and involves gangsters, vampires<\/strong> and aliens<\/strong>. \u00a0\u00a0 Or as Turf is described on the Image site:<\/p>\n

A 4-issue hard-boiled noir crime thriller with girls, guns, fangs and aliens.<\/p>\n

New York, 1929. The height of prohibition. The cops turn a blind eye while the mobs run the city, dealing in guns, girls and illegal liquor. But the arrival of the mysterious Dragonmir Family from Eastern Europe with more of a taste for blood then booze coincides with a series of brutal attacks on the gangsters themselves. As the gangs fall before the fangs, only a handful of mobsters survive. But an unlikely alliance formed between tough guy Eddie Falco and a character from a long<\/em> way from New York City \u2013 a long way from Earth in fact – offers the humans a glimmer of hope. As the strong willed young reporter Susie Dale from the Gotham Herald tries to survive in the middle of the maelstrom, and an ancient prophecy unfolds, no one can guess who\u2019s going to win the battle for this particular slice of Turf<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
