There’s
a lot to be thankful for these days, especially if you’re a fan of the
“Boondock Saints” films. It seems like there isn’t a month that goes by these days
that word comes out from the Duffy camp regarding Boondock Saints goodness. And
to think there was a time where there was little to nothing regarding the
series. But if that’s not enough, there will be an entirely new reason to be
thankful this holiday season especially if you live in the Los Angeles area. On
Monday, November 21st. Troy Duffy and his skilled comic team will be
making a special appearance at the Barnes & Noble in Los Angeles for a book
signing and also giving away special goodies to the first 200 people who show
up and an additional special goodie to only the first 100 people who arrive
there first! Now before you drop what you’re doing to secure a place in line, I
must stress that you first read the details below before making any hasty
decisions. So read on fellow movie buffs!
TROY DUFFY and J.B. LOVE -
the writers behind The BOONDOCK SAINTS' initial foray into comics will be
signing the collected GRAPHIC NOVEL edition at BARNES & NOBLE in LOS
ANGELES and they’re bringing DAVID DELLA ROCCO as well!
TROY DUFFY’s original
BOONDOCK SAINTS film is one of the most successful independent movies of all
time, with a fiercely devoted fan base - with nearly 5 million online followers of the franchise. With the hit comic series "IN NOMINE
PATRIS", creator/writer/director TROY DUFFY launched the first
"Saints" story to take place outside the iconic films. Written by
Duffy and comic scribe J.B. LOVE, the comic series is the perfect companion to
the films.
The story masterfully
interweaves the events of the BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY with brand new
material to reveal the secret history of the original saint, NOAH MACMANUS (IL
DUCE) as he wages a bloody war against 1960's New York's Underground Crime
world. The storyline is intercut with brand new adventures of the BROTHERS
MACMANUS (The Boondock Saints) doing what they do best; doling out their
special brand of justice to those that deserve it. "In Nomine Patris"
brings a new chapter of the Saints saga to life while revealing the family
legacy that created this trio of "Shepherds".
Featuring a forward by
Connor MacManus himself - actor, SEAN PATRICK FLANERY - Join Troy Duffy and his
comics team in this thrilling new Saints Adventure by pre-ordering the
collected edition. This special trade paperback collects all six comic issues,
never before seen art, a cover gallery, behind the scenes sketches and more.
This is the collection the fans have been waiting for!

Side
Tidbit: I wonder if someone will be lucky enough to get him to commit to making
a 3rd Boondock Saints film within the next 3 to 5 years. If someone
does they’ll no doubt earn The Critic’s Word’s undying respect! [Laughs]
