Grifter from DC Comics is shaping up to possibly be one of my favorite books from the DC Comics relaunch and I haven't read a single issue. Combine my long time enjoyment of the character plus some fantastic art from the likes of Cafu, and you've got the makings of a winner.
DC Comics provided us with this exclusive sneak peek at the cover to Grifter #2, shipping in October with art by the aforementioned Cafu.
GRIFTER #2
Written by NATHAN EDMONDSON
Art and cover by CAFU and JASON GORDER
On sale OCTOBER 12 * 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US * RATED T
The police are looking for him. Government operatives are hunting him down. And Cole Cash can hear the voices of an alien race in his head. Escaping New Orleans will require quick thinking and a violent streak straight out of Cole's Special Operations background – and just like that, his life will be turned upside down, figuratively as well as literally.

Well that would give me nightmares….
I have to say that Grifter is one of the DC comics that I looking forward to the most come September.
NIIIIICE!
I’m massively looking forward to this book.
I know nothing about Grifter and I missed ‘Who Is Jake Ellis?’ (I’ll give it a shot in trade)… but I think I’ma gonna try this out.
This makes me giddy. Giddy!
cant wait
“Jake Ellis” is one of 2011’s big surprises, @diebenny, so I agree with you on giving this a shot.
FINALLY!!!
Grifter has gone from a maybe to a definite pull. looks awesome!
For some reason, the art style just bothers me… It might be the pants.
I likes me some Grifter. Looking forward to this, it looks great.
This is so awesome. Grifter is my favorite anti-hero, and my life had an empty feeling when there was no chance for monthly comic book appearances from this badass character.
Man, I really hope this series takes off and we get years of a GRIFTER ongoing!!!
Ron, it is also great that you really happen to love Grifter, because you are able to get the word out and drum up excitement for the book like no other. Kudos.
Hey guys, just wanted to say that I’m as excited for this series as you are to read it–it’s been a real endeavor so far creating/re-creating Cole Cash’s world, but we’re very excited for it, and glad to welcome you into it! Be sure to bring your thoughts over to nathan-e.com/Discuss and I’ll chat with you there.
I look forward to seeing you at cons and signings!
Very cool that you stopped by Nathan. I look forward to experiencing your storytelling for the first time, on my favorite character…btw, no pressure, lol!
It sounds like you are really taking the character and world of Grifter seriously, which is great. He has always been kindof a “go to” badass character that a lot of writers actually did justice to in the old Wildstorm stories. Here’s hoping that he gets to that level in the new DCU.
