Mortal Gods
by John Ostrander, Timothy Truman, John Workman, Janice Cohen, Mike Gold
Elvanna, high priestess of the Kyrians, travels to Cynosure to find Grimjack, aka John Gaunt. She hopes that he can help her find Manwyyes, her god, who has stopped responding to their people’s prayers. The Kyrians are desperate because they being overrun by the followers of Zago, the god of the blood red sun.
This installment ends with Grimjack taking Elvanna to Wu Fang’s Cafe. Manwyyes is there, hunched over a drink. The high priestess is shocked by what she finds.
This is the backup story from this issue of Starslayer.
This is my first time reading this story. My earliest experiences with Grimjack only go back to the late 1980s. I have a lot of reading to do in order to work my way from here to the first of issued that I read.
This is a good start but just an appetizer. Mortal Gods concludes in the next issue after which there is a five-part story that runs in Starslayer 12-16.
There is a two page text piece in this issue which introduces Lenin Delsol (new penciler of Starslayer), John Ostrander, and Timothy Truman.
