If there’s one thing that Garth Ennis is good at, it’s taking a well established comic concept and turning it on it’s head. Well, he returns to DC, for a new title, Six-Pack And Dogwelder: Hard-Traveling Heroz.
In a story broken by Weird Science DC Comics, Ennis will be scribing the sequel to his All-Star Section Eight series, with regular conspirator Russ Braun.
Here’s the rundown, as we know it:
SIX-PACK AND DOGWELDER: HARD-TRAVELING HEROZ #1
Writer: GARTH ENNIS
Artist: RUSS BRAUN
Cover: STEVE DILLON
Variant Cover: NEAL ADAMS
COMING IN AUGUST: In the tradition of the original Hard-Traveling Heroes, Green Lantern and Green Arrow, Sixpack and Dogwelder are ready to bring their allegedly socially aware brand of justice to the lands beyond Gotham City!
After the events of ALL-STAR SECTION EIGHT, Sixpack is fighting to keep what’s left of his team together. Dogwelder has gone in search of his past, while newlyweds Bueno Excellente and Guts are dealing with some fidelity issues. Could Section Eight be done for good?
But everything changes when a mysterious trenchcoat-wearing chain smoker offers our favorite dog enthusiast some clues about his true nature. Is Dogwelder everything he seems? Or is he meant for something greater?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
