Once you go in, you don’t come out— —unless your name is Snake Plissken! Plissken now survives as a coyote, smuggling people and contraband across the dangerous dead zones between prison territories like Chicago. It’s a hard and bitter job. But when he’s hired to extract a woman wanted by the city’s warlord, Snake sees one more chance at redemption—or one more chance for the universe to kick his ass. Introducing new settings and characters with all the dystopian insanity you know and love, superstar writer & film director Kyle Higgins teams with artist Val Rodrigues for an explosive new series revamping the beloved film franchise!

Reviews
"Snake Plissken? I heard you were dead."
As a lifelong John Carpenter fanboy, I have been looking forward to it as soon as this was announced. Set a few years before the Los Angeles fiasco (unpopular opinion, fantastically fun satire and stupid fun movie), Chicago is a walled off wasteland prison city in the vein of New York. First chapter is engaging and gets right into the action. No exploding capsules in the neck needed. The setting is established within the first few pages as well as the characters. We get an early look at some of the villains, and sidekicks and If you are familiar with the city, it should be a super easy chase to follow. Speaking of the "Sidekicks", they are confronted with One question. "Can we trust Snake Plissken?".
Oh, and something about a bounty...Fantastically dark start to Escape from Chicago.
