"Charlie’s victims who end up in Christmasland—they’re these kind of frozen ghouls with too many teeth. They’re still children, but there’s nothing left in them except for a sense of fun. For them, every morning is Christmas morning, and every night is Christmas Eve. Everything is a chance for fun. Playing games, riding on amusements, the Christmasland amusement park, and playing sadistic games like scissors-for-the-drifter: it’s all a good time. I think fun is important in a life, but if that’s all there is, you can’t be a morally fully-formed person without regrets, without guilt, without a sense of shame. How would you ever learn decency? Much is made, in American society, about the wonder of childhood innocence, but innocent children are happy to burn ants with a magnifying glass because they don’t know better. It takes a sense of guilt, shame, and maturity to realize that sometimes your actions can be really unpleasant or painful for others." -- Joe Hill
( Scans under the cut... )Hunter-Killer #1 - #3

"Hunter-Killer is grounded in the growing outrage we as a nation have against an increasingly corrupt administration, balanced against the idea that there really are people in charge 'up there' who do have a sense of morality and do want to do what's right. To that end, we're revealing the existence of a fourth, secret branch of the U.S. Government that's been in existence since colonial times: the 'Failsafe Branch,' charged with the responsibility of keeping our government in line. The old trope about 'black ops' stories is that 'there are some jobs too dirty for the government.' Yeah, well, anyone who's read a newspaper in the past few years is probably with me when I say, 'Really?' The Failsafe crew is out to change that image and make America the good guys again--even if they have to do it in secret."
