Coyote Series by Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers, Tom Palmer, Chaz Truog, Bob Wiacek, Scott Lobdell, Steve Ditko, Todd McFarlane

Hot on the heels of their successful reuniting for DC's Dark Detective, Englehart & Rogers present more of their classic, groundbreaking work. This collection includes the rare 60-page origin story of Coyote, unseen for 20 years - plus the three-part origin series of Scorpio Rose. Yes, three-part... because we're throwing in the legendary unpublished third issue, in the synopsis and layout form it reached before vanishing like a gypsy witch.

The story of Coyote moves forward fast, as the son of the totem gets past his heartbreak by moving into a swinging singles complex in Las Vegas. Revenge scents in the desert air as he gets a job working for the mob, which works for the Shadow Cabinet. And he has his first run-in with the Djinn, a Middle eastern crime lord we'll see plenty more of. But best of all, he meets two sisters who will change his life in ways even the Trickster could never imagine.

Coyote's wormed his way deep into the Shadow Cabinet, and things are going so good that a Trickster just knows things have to go bad. What he thought was deep is barely scratching the surface, though, and by the time this latest adventure is are over, he's raced the ghost of James Dean, fought the legendary X-Caliber, spooked the Dark Cardinal and had half his brain removed by a Venusian... moreCoyote's wormed his way deep into the Shadow Cabinet, and things are going so good that a Trickster just knows things have to go bad. What he thought was deep is barely scratching the surface, though, and by the time this latest adventure is are over, he's raced the ghost of James Dean, fought the legendary X-Caliber, spooked the Dark Cardinal and had half his brain removed by a Venusian.(Allegedly ) And he doesn't even know that the Djinn is having his own adventure, drawn by Spider-Man co-creator and comics legend Steve Ditko in a series devised especially for the pasha of paranoia. less

Women have always been a delight for Coyote (even if they tried to kill him), but he's never met anyone like Slash, who can kill with a look. Still, look who's drawing her origin: Todd McFarlane, in his first-ever published work. Todd's also on board for the start of a new Scorpio Rose series, right beside Steve Ditko with the whirlwind finale of The Djinn and Chaz Troug

As the original Coyote saga wraps up, Scorpio Rose and the Djinn join the main story, and so does the Badger and Ronald Reagan - and so does everyone from the Venusians to the hooker to Halfdome as Englehart stages one of his patented "everybody into the pool" finales and liberates Russia. But underneath all that, there's actually two love stories, as Coyote charms both women who wanted to kill him into willing members of a threesome... moreAs the original Coyote saga wraps up, Scorpio Rose and the Djinn join the main story, and so does the Badger and Ronald Reagan - and so does everyone from the Venusians to the hooker to Halfdome as Englehart stages one of his patented "everybody into the pool" finales and liberates Russia.
