Helm – Issue 2

THE HELM #2 (of 4) Jim Hardison (W), Bart Sears (P), and Randy Elliott (I) On sale Aug 20 FC, 32 pages $3.50 Miniseries The Helm, an enchanted artifact of countless legendary heroes, has learned that its latest Chosen One is a chubby, unemployed fantasy addict ? who lives in his mother’s basement. Defying all odds, however, Matt Blurdy managed both to defeat a bloodthirsty hobgoblin and thwart the Helm’s scheme to have him killed. Now the hero’s training begins in earnest: workouts, retrieval of a magic flaming sword, battles with wraiths, and a showdown with a sorcerer in mortal combat. But when the media starts reporting Matt’s victories as murders, an old flame reenters the picture, and true darkness looms on the horizon, even a replica Highlander trench coat might not be enough to save Matt’s hide!
