TrainLove01-Cov-A-Braun

Bleeding Cool mentioned this earlier in the year. Garth Ennis writing a romantic comedy called Train Of Love. With art by Mark Dos Santos and Andrew Elder and covers by Russ Braun.

Turns out it's for Dynamite…

Oh and there is violence as well. Obviously. Ten issue series, starting in October…

"A Train Called Love is a story I've been wanting to tell for some time, largely because people keep asking me about doing a romance comic and the idea just wouldn't go away," says Garth Ennis. "This is what I came up with: guns, gangsters, mayhem, big white hoods, dubious films with horses, mad Germans, obscene phone calls, crazy ladies, total losers, hot chicks, dishy guys, movie stars, lots of narcotics, terrible bands from Williamsburg, taxidermy, incontinence, unrequited crushes, a big fluffy white rabbit and a rather unpleasant scene involving an escalator. Thus shall I explore the highs and lows of love."

The first issue of A Train Called Love introduces Valerie, a woman who has been getting dirty phone calls and wants revenge… and in its pursuit, she meets Myles, the man of her dreams. However, Myles has been targeted by Emil and Gustav, two mentally unstable guns-for-hire. Meanwhile, the budding romance gets more complicated as the rest of the cast is introduced: Valerie's sister Penny, her friend friend Marcy (who's chasing her musical dreams), a handful of shady characters with a dubious scheme to get rich, and a certain organisation with a lot of Ks in its name. And then there's Mister Fluffy…
