About the Author
Drew Hayes entered the comic book field in 1991 by self-publishing his cult-hit series, I, LUSIPHUR. Over the next four years, he published twenty issues, changed the series title to POISON ELVES, and became known as one of the most singular and respected voices in the self-publishing movement.
In a bold transition, Hayes brought POISON ELVES under the Sirius Entertainment banner, where his creative freedom remained wholly intact. Having recently completed the work on issue #70, HayesÂ’ total output has reached nearly 100 issues, many of which are collected in the ten POISON ELVES trade paperbacks.

Road Trip!,

This review is from: Poison Elves Volume 8: Rogues (Paperback)
Poison Elves Volume 8: Rogues collects issues 40-47 of the Sirius-published Poison Elves series, and serves as a transition between the Sanctuary and Elvin Fire storylines.
For those of you unfamiliar with this excellent (and criminally underrated) series, Poison Elves is the story of an elf named Lusiphur. Now, before you get visions in your head of pretty-boy elves like Legolas or those Elfquest characters, you should know that Lusiphur (Luse, as he's known to the few people he likes well enough not to have killed) is not that kind of elf. He's a street fighting, hard drinking, mercenary/assassin described by his creator as (and I'm paraphrasing here) "having the temperament of a rattlesnake and the ability to deliver sarcasm faster than lightning hits the ground." Sound intriguing? Drew Hayes is a master storyteller, and besides getting a great non-traditional fantasy story, there is plenty of social commentary and very relevant, very cutting observations. Drew was doing this kind of thing long before Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, et al made it commonplace. And his artwork is terrific too. In Rogues, Lusiphur and Jace hit the road after the disastrous events of the Sanctuary saga. Just like in Poison Elves, Vol. 4 (Patrons) (Poison Elves), there's no such thing as a normal road trip with these two. First they encounter Cleah, an Elvin hunter who decides to harvest the boys' ears. Following that encounter, the guys hire on as werewolf hunters with another femme fatale, this one a fellow hunter named Winston. Finally, the guys come to the rescue of a tiny (and absolutely deadly) little sprite named Petunia, who decides to protect Luse as a reward for his assistance. These meetings may seem random, but all three ladies will play an important part in our heroes life in the coming issues. While the issues collected in Rogues are a bit lighter than the Sanctuary storyline, they are still an important chapter in the Poison Elves saga. Besides, they're hysterical and absolutely fun to read. I can't recommend this series highly enough. When you're ready to take a break from "comics as usual", you owe it to yourself to check this series out.
