THE NAMES #1

New York City. Forty-year-old Kevin Walker is a successful trader. He’s incredibly rich. He has a young, sexy wife and a son he adores. He has everything. Until the mysterious man known as the Surgeon walks into Kevin’€™s office. He takes a seat and tells Kevin to write a suicide note. Trembling but obedient, Kevin does what the Surgeon says. Then, at a word from this well-dressed figure, Kevin jumps out his window and falls fifty stories to his death. Thus begins THE NAMES, an 8-issue miniseries by writer Peter Milligan (HELLBLAZER, SKREEMER) and artist Leandro Fernandez (Wolverine, Punisher: Max). THE NAMES is a dark, contemporary thriller set in the world of Big Money: hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, market raids, flash crashes. High-end finance that can ruin entire economies, run by a cabal of the world’€™s richest (and sickest) people. Now, it’€™s up to Katya Walker -€“ the beautiful and deadly wife of the late Kevin -€“ to take on this hidden power structure and find out who killed her husband, and why. No matter what it takes. No matter who she has to kill. It’€™s The Wolf of Wall Street meets Kill Bill. And heaven help the 1%.
